Test Scores Drop in South Africa with New Education Plan

              There is a test for the South African high school students to graduate from their school in 2014. According to Angie Motshekga, 75.8 percent students passed the test. The rate decreased compared to rate of last year. There are two different ideas of this test result. President Jacob Zuma thinks South Africa should be admired but The Pan Africanist Congress party disagree this idea because this result shows South African people big problem about education system. Even if they gradated their high school, it is hard to get jobs so they need to study 12 years. South Africa has a lot of problems about education system. There are a lot of students dropped out this school. The government is trying to solve this problem so they created new education systems in 2012. They are used to give the students a test in grade 12 but they give the students in grade 10 a test. This program will lead to good teaching because teacher asks the students higher questions. The students think carefully about their study. The new test made by the higher questions. In the new test if they do not do well on the test, they can take it again. South America should invest to education system to improve. They also need to get some school materials first such as libraries, classroom and laboratories. They also need to make a lot of educated teachers to give the students higher teaching. It is going to cause the high education system. Education system is important in South Africa.
