Grade 9 Certificate almost official – learners will now be able to leave school sooner and of course unemployment rate will also rise

Cyril Ramaphosa approved the proposed education policy that allows learners to leave school in grade 9.  The move will allow learners to obtain a Grade 9 certificate and enter the workforce.

Angie Motshekga criticized her proposal for her fierce criticism but it now becomes official ANC policy. According to Ramaphosa, the move will focus on integrating learners sooner into the country’s workforce and the country’s economy.

It is even haunted by statements of “great improvement” over 2017’s results and that the Minister of Basic Education, Angie Motshekga, is believed to be South Africa’s best minister.
