This year, the Free State province led with an 89.0% pass rate, followed by KwaZulu Natal with 86.36%. Gauteng came third with 85.38%. There are significant improvements noted in Limpopo (7.4% increase) as well as the Eastern Cape (4.1% increase). The Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, and Limpopo produced a significant portion of Bachelor passes and distinctions.
