What the results mean

The National Senior Certificate (NSC) is the school-leaving qualification in South Africa. There are three levels of pass:

Bachelor’s degree pass —qualifies the learner for admission to a bachelor’s degree programme at a South African university
Diploma pass —qualifies the learner for admission to a diploma programme at a university or university of technology
Higher Certificate pass —qualifies the learner for admission to a higher certificate programme

Loreto’s consistently high proportion of bachelor’s degree passes reflects the school’s academic ambition: preparing learners not merely to pass, but to qualify for university study.
