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, with 70.4% achieving 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 and 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 and 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.

Continue to work hard for your goals.Whatever your final results, I am confident that the quality education you received, with broad and balanced excellence in academics, sport and culture, prepared you well for adulthood. Wherever your skills lie, you are ready to contribute meaningfully to society as responsible citizens. Curro will proudly follow your progress with interest, all the best!”
