To meet the minimum admission requirements to a Bachelor’s Degree study at a higher education institution, a candidate must obtain, in addition to the NSC, an achievement rating of at least 50% in four designated subjects. The pool of learners that will be able to access careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects is small. This has serious implications for the county in terms of the number of STEM graduates entering the labour market and more broadly, for the achievement of national development priorities.
