Monitoring body Umalusi said on Wednesday that the class of 2015 have fared worse than their 2014 predecessors.

“There are a number of factors that affected this year’s learner performance, which we hope we can correct,” Umalusi council chairperson Professor John Volmink told reporters in Pretoria

Volmink says the standard of this year’s papers are higher than last year’s, which could be one of the reasons. Volmink said it was important to keep standards high and that they cannot “just be dropped to push up the pass rate”.

The official results of the 2015 Matric pass rate will only be released next week.
