Somerset College IEB Matric Results 2021
Somerset College is once again extremely proud of their Matric results and congratulate the staff and especially the students for showing remarkable fortitude over the course of the last two years. The college is very pleased to have maintained an unbroken record of 100% Bachelor Degree pass and an average of 3 A symbols per candidate over the last six years.
In addition to maintaining a healthy average of 3 As per candidate, they celebrate the 16 awards received by this cohort for results in the Top 1% of the IEB nationally in various subjects. Furthermore, in eight academic departments, over 50% of students received A symbols in that subject. In 17 of 18 departments, the school average was significantly higher than the national average, and Somerset College students attained an average over 10% higher than the national IEB average in eight subjects.
As the CEO of the IEB, Anne Oberholzer, stated, “As with an iceberg, the achievement we see in the class of 2021 hides the depth of the struggle and effort that underpins this success… The Class of 2021 has had to dig deep mentally and emotionally to find the strength to face the tremendous challenges of a radically changed teaching and learning environment of the last two years. They truly deserve the accolades they receive.”
This resilience, and these fine academic results, bode very well for a bright future for this talented group of students.
