Matric successes and Milestones. Curro Holdings, JSE-listed independent education provider, has once again posted impressive Independent Examinations Board (IEB) pass results from the Matric class of 2024. Curro CEO, Cobus Loubser, congratulated the matriculants and their teachers on an exceptional pass rate of 99% and praised their commitment and dedication.
“Well done to our 2 426 learners who wrote the 2024 IEB matric exams,” he said. “Our learners from our campuses across the country did us proud. Of our learners, 70.4% achieved a minimum of a C-average and 238 (10%) learners achieving an A average. You have helped us to uphold our record for academic excellence. You also demonstrated the fruits of our focus on quality education. We wish you all the best as you embark on the next stage of your journey. We also look forward to seeing how you shape your future and that of our country. Thank you also to our teachers and parents who have successfully supported these learners through their school careers, enabling them to achieve these results. I’m sure you are just as proud as I am.”
