  4. NSC Examination • The education enterprise is a highly complex activity and the outcome is based on a multiplicity of factors. • Hence, the quantification of the improvements in the system is an extremely challenging task. • NSC examination is one of the most important barometers to evaluate the success of the sector. • Primary purpose of the NSC examinations is to certify learners, but it can be used to monitor trends in performance, provided we understand the cohort differences.

  5. NSC Examination (e) In terms of Action Plan to 2019, the following three key targets are directly measured through the performance in the NSC examinations: • Increase the number of Grade 12 learners who become eligible for a Bachelor’s programme at University’; • Increase the number of Grade 12 learners who pass Mathematics; and • Increase the number of Grade 12 learners who pass Physical Science
