Bianca further explains that during apartheid, the pass rate was divided into higher, standard, and lower grades.

"A higher grade subject fail would be between 25 and 39%, which was converted into a standard grade pass. So you needed 40% for a higher grade pass.

"For standard grade subjects, a fail was between 25-33%. So you needed 33% to pass in standard grade. Therefore a fail in standard grade was converted into a lower grade pass," Bianca said

According to Matric College, in the past, the difference between a Higher Grade and a Standard Grade subject was that the Higher Grade subject was more challenging than the Standard Grade subject. The hardest-working and most intelligent students studied subjects at the Higher Grade level.
