A drop of 1% in the Eastern Cape’s private school matric pass rate was not enough to dampen spirits as the majority of the schools still managed to achieve a 100% pass this year.

All IEB matriculants can check their exam results live at matric.sowetanlive.co.za

Last year‚ the province managed a 96.18% pass rate‚ while the Class of 2016 dropped to 95.17%.

Out of the 560 pupils who wrote the Independent Examination Board (IEB) matric exam‚ 533 made the grade.

The other 27 could still pin their hopes of graduating on re-marks and supplementary exams in the new year.

The Eastern Cape also managed to add four names to the IEB’s 2016 Outstanding and Commendable list – comprising the top 5% of graduates – after having only one listed last year.
