South Africa: The beauty and splendour of the scenery in Barberton, especially the Makhonjwa Mountains, are a good source of pride and motivation for the people of Umjindini.
These majestic mountains, also known as Barberton Mountains or Barberton Greenstone Belt, are internationally acclaimed and classified as an International Heritage Site by the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) are almost the greatest evidence that this place is a special place not only to the citizens of Barberton but the whole world.
It would be deemed prudent for the performance of schools in Barberton to be parallel to the beauty and majestic splendour of the landmarks and gold resources that are in abundance in this place.” Said MEC Majuba
“In this instance, Emjindini Secondary School had 185 candidates who wrote the 2022 National Senior Certificate Examination, and 80 passed; thus, the school obtained a 43.2% pass rate which is a 12.9% improvement from the 30.4% pass rate of 2021.
KaMhola Secondary School had 178 candidates who wrote the same examination, and 102 passed; thus, the school obtained a 57.3% pass rate which translates to a 5.8% improvement from the 51.5% obtained in 2021.
Chief Funwako Secondary School had 110 candidates who wrote, and 71 passed; thus, the school obtained 64.5%, which translates to a drop of -1.5% compared to the 66.1% in 2021.
Barberton Combined School had 88 candidates who wrote, and 59 passed; thus, the school obtained a 67.0% pass rate, which is a 15.0% improvement from the 52.0% obtained in 2021. Hoërskool Barberton had 115 candidates who wrote, and 102 passed; thus, the school obtained an 88.7% pass rate in the 2022 NSC examination, which is a -8.0% regression from the 96.7% pass in 2021.
We are deliberately presenting these results so that you can be aware of how your schools performed last year and for you to make a conscious decision to improve the results of your school this time around. It is all in your hands, and you can change the way people look at you and your schools for the better.
All that you need to do is to take a position and work smarter and harder than before – respect your teachers, pay attention to what they are telling you and walk the extra mile in your school work.
You must stop blaming your environment and others for your lack of focus and laziness but look at the positive side of things and make things work for you. It is only you who must rise to the occasion in order to be counted amongst the best of the best.” MEC Concluded.
