The release of South Africa’s 2024 matric results on January 13 will draw significant attention, particularly with regard to the performance in maths and physical science—two key subjects for university admission. As the country grapples with an education system still recovering from the disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, the results will reveal how well students are prepared for the demands of tertiary education, especially in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines.
