<\/a>Online School, Brainline, says it is encouraged by the number of excellent performers who have emerged amongst the 2020 Matric Results. The Independent Examination Board (IEB) will release the matric results today, Friday 19 February, while the Department of Basic Education will release their results on Monday, 22 February. Brainline is IEB recognised.<\/p>\n

Brainline CEO, Coleen Cronje says despite a challenging year amid the Covid-19 pandemic, a number of students showed their steel during the final exams. She says Brainline students achieved 80 distinctions overall. This is a testament to the courage and tenacity of the Class of 2020.<\/p>\n

\u2018We are extremely proud of all our Grade 12 learners who have had to deal with unprecedented circumstances last year. We would, however, like to highlight the performance of a number of our students who managed to achieve exceptional results. While the majority have been home schoolers for a number of years, some only joined our online school in 2020, when their own schools closed during the country-wide school lockdown. As a virtual school, we were able to provide these learners with a safe and uninterrupted alternative,\u2019 Cronje explains.<\/p>\n

Cronje says three learners managed to score within the Top 1% of the IEB in their respective subjects.<\/p>\n

\u2018Carlien du Plessis excelled in Electrical Technology, Chloe Winter in one of the most difficult subjects, Advanced Mathematics, while Chante Thomas and Gregory Burns excelled in Mathematical Literacy. One of our students, Zhang Yupeng, also received 95% for Chinese Madarin. Another great achievement is that of Dilan Vermaak, a student with Cerebral Palsy and therefore unique challenges, who achieved 91% in Information Technology. About 19% of our Drama students achieved a distinction,\u2019 Cronje elaborates.<\/p>\n

Brainline students were among the 12 000 IEB students who completed the 2020 matric exams. Cronje says the consistent performance by these learners is a testimony to the efficacy of online learning amid a very challenging academic year. Cronje says now is the opportune time for basic education authorities to look at restructuring the current traditional school system by phasing in e-learning elements.<\/p>\n

\u2018South Africans are familiar with a more traditional classroom set-up but now is the time to evolve. E-learning and mobile learning should be viewed as a stand-alone or additional learning resource that can assist in accessing learning tools. President Cyril Ramaphosa in a recent State of the Nation Address said that the government wanted to provide learners with a tablet to access e-learning platforms. He also indicated that the government was working with network operators to reduce the cost of data. This drive should be on government\u2019s radar more than ever before.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018It was incredibly difficult to complete school last year. I have a part time job and that took up a lot of my time. However, the experience through Brainline was incredible. I was able to study and watch the recorded lessons at night, in the morning before work and on weekends. I feel that Brainline excelled in the management and organization of my schooling process last year,\u2019 Gregory says.<\/p>\n
