JOHANNESBURG - The beginning of the 2024 academic year presents a few challenges for the Free State's education department.
The province’s grade 10 pupils were the worst performers in the final exams in 2023.
Almost 40% of them failed.
The Grade 8 group also had a difficult year.
Is the department worried that this will lead to drop outs?
Free State Education DDG for Curriculum Development, Tsatsi Montso spoke to eNCA.
