The View PointSchool Dropouts
We’re talking about the Zero Dropout campaign, which is a project of the DG Murray Trust and their aim is to halve the rate of school dropout by 2030.
Although at least 40% of all young people in South Africa drop out of school, there is no
national task force focused on addressing this crisis.
While the overall matric pass rate has improved over time from 58% in 1994 to 81% in 2019, this doesn’t tell us anything about how many learners actually made it to matric.
