Independent schools have achieved an overall pass rate of 98.46% for their 2023 National Senior Certificate (NSC) exams.

The board said on Thursday 88.59% of the pupils achieved entry to study towards degrees at tertiary institutions. A total of 15,180 full-time and part-time candidates sat for their IEB exams between November and October 2023 at 275 exam centres. Traditionally, the IEB releases its results before the Department of Basic Education publishes the national pass rate. Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga is expected to announce the results of at least 900,000 matric exam candidates later Thursday.
