SADTU NORTH WEST CONGRATULATE THE MATRIC CLASS OF 2025
14 January 2026
The South African Democratic Teachers’ Union (SADTU) in the North West Province warmly congratulates the Class of 2025, the teaching fraternity, school management teams, support staff, parents, and all education stakeholders on the release of the matric results, which reflect a commendable improvement in the province’s academic performance.
We are delighted to note that the North West Province achieved an impressive overall pass rate of 88.49%, marking an increase of 0.9% from the previous year. This upward trajectory underscores the resilience, commitment, and tireless effort of our educators and learners under challenging conditions.
This achievement is a testament to the professionalism and dedication of our teachers, who continue to uphold excellence despite the pressures of overcrowded classrooms, resource constraints, and the complexities within the education environment. Their unwavering commitment to quality teaching and learning remains the heartbeat of our provincial education system.
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to the learners who have passed and encourage those who did not achieve the desired results not to lose hope. Opportunities for support, rewriting, and academic recovery remain available, and SADTU will continue advocating for measures that cushion and assist all learners.
SADTU North West further calls on the Department of Education to build on this momentum by ensuring improved resource allocation, expanded psychosocial support, strengthened teacher development programmes, and functional infrastructure in all schools — especially those in rural and under-resourced areas. As the union, we remain committed to advancing quality public education for all and ensuring that the conditions of service for educators are improved to sustain and surpass this performance.
Congratulations, North West! Together, we can achieve even greater milestones.
