Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga’s media statement in response to TIMSS 2015 Results

The Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) 2015 study point towards a steady but upward trajectory of the education sector. Within the context of a maturing democratic education system, there is much to be appreciated and much to be done. The values and targets we have set ourselves through the National Development Plan embolden us to strive for academic excellence in prioritised areas of Mathematics and Science.
