Matric has been a challenging year for learners across the country. Many schools in Soweto were blessed to receive above 70% aggregate for their matric class of 2021.
More than 5 learners from Soweto were blessed to get 300/300 in maths, some in science and business studies and have proved that they can beat all odds.
These learners and three schools were recognised for their dedication and hard work on Friday, 21 January at the Gauteng Matric awards which was held at Birchwood Hotel, Boksburg.
