Best matric results since 1994: Zuma

[James]

The improved matric pass rate makes the 2013 matric class the best since 1994, President Jacob Zuma said on Monday.

"We are therefore pleased to note this consistently upward trend in the matric results," Zuma said in a statement.

"In 2009, government set a target to obtain 175,000 bachelor's passes by 2014. We urge the 2014 class to work very hard to bring us closer to the target."

I wonder what the real results were, seeing as every year they adjust the results by a fair margin.

Education standards have dropped since 1994

33% is not a pass, this is why universities are setting tests for entrance and extra classes for basic english, math and computer skills, it's because you can't trust the matric pass anymore.
