DURBAN - KwaZulu-Natal Education MEC Kwazi Mshengu said the challenges the matric class of 2020 had to overcome due to the Covid-19 pandemic had prepared them for any challenges that lay ahead.
KZN achieved a 77,6 % matric pass rate, coming fourth in the country.
Mshengu released the results at an event at the Anton Lembede School of Leadership and Innovation in La Mercy yesterday.
Mshengu said the 2020 matric pupils were pioneers who had faced the Covid-19 pandemic head-on under difficult circumstances that had not been experienced before.
“This is a class that earned the bragging rights for weathering the storm and coming out of it unscathed.
