SOUTH AFRICA’S EDUCATION SYSTEM IS DELIBERATELY SABOTAGING OUR FUTURE. As the nation celebrates another RECORD matric pass rate, a SHOCKING truth is being buried: the country’s mathematical brainpower is being SYSTEMATICALLY ERASED. Experts warn this is not an accident, but a CATASTROPHIC POLICY FAILURE that will condemn the next generation to economic servitude.
“The universities are not getting enough throughput from high schools to train Stem graduates… and the latest data makes this VERY CLEAR,” EXPOSES University of Johannesburg’s Thulane Paepae. The damning numbers? While politicians pat themselves on the back for an 88% overall pass rate, the pure maths pass rate PLUMMETED to a dismal 64%. Even MORE CHILLING? Only ONE THIRD of students even ATTEMPTED the subject. This is a calculated DUMBING DOWN of a nation.
The implication is TERRIFYING. A COLLAPSING pipeline for engineers, data scientists, and tech innovators means South Africa is WILLFULLY DISARMING in the global economic war. Meanwhile, insiders reveal schools are SECRETLY PUSHING students into easier “maths literacy” to ARTIFICIALLY INFLATE their pass rates, sacrificing children’s futures for bureaucratic bonuses.
Minister Siviwe Gwarube’s department is now scrambling for solutions, but the damage is DEEP and SYSTEMIC. University lecturers report students arrive with “weaker algebraic fluency” and an inability to reason, having only learned to “pass examinations.” This isn’t education; it’s ACADEMIC FRAUD on a national scale.
We are not failing our children in maths; we are ENGINEERING A LOST GENERATION. The question is no longer if the economy will pay, but whether our nation can even survive the coming intellectual dark age.
