The country hasn't cracked 50 percent since way back when the 2018 group managed 52.08 percent, and things bottomed out during the pandemic at 37.11 percent. Female students crushed it with a 53.64 percent pass rate while boys only hit 43.06 percent. Shona and Ndebele scored above 83 percent, and every subject cleared the 50 percent bar. Special needs candidates jumped 15.85 percent in numbers, with their pass rate climbing to 43.91 percent from the previous 37.19 percent. [/QUOTE]
