Disastrous fall in pass rate at Sandringham High School
17 January 2020
There has been a disastrous fall in the pass rate at the Sandringham High School in northeast Johannesburg, with only 77% of matrics passing last year, down from 89% the year before.
I discovered this on Wednesday when I visited the school to do oversight on their needs and difficulties on the first day of school this year.
A photograph of my visit to the school can be found here.
Previously I was most impressed by Mr Phillip du Plessis, the principal, who vastly improved the school in various ways, including a 91% matric pass rate in 2017.
