JSE-listed ADvTECH is celebrating another year of outstanding academic performance following the release of the 2025 IEB Matric results. Three of the group’s schools – Crawford Sandton, Crawford La Lucia, and Glenwood House were ranked in the top ten co-educational schools.
Across its 103 South African schools, ADvTECH’s pass and bachelor’s pass rates for 2025 were 99,7% and 94,0% respectively, with an impressive 3 371 distinctions at an average of 2,1 per student. 16 students from the ADvTECH group were recognised for Outstanding Performance by the IEB and a further 14 for Commendable Achievement.
Significantly, while the national IEB average dropped year-on-year, ADvTECH’s pass rate increased by 0.3%.
“Another strong set of results was achieved by our schools in 2025. We congratulate our students and teachers for their commitment and dedication”, commented Desiree Hugo, Academic Head: ADvTECH Schools.
Hugo says that the group’s performance is the result of a number of initiatives introduced over the past few years.
“ADvTECH has invested significantly in AI enhanced personalised learning and teacher training, ensuring that each student achieves their full potential. With a strong analytical focus on academic data, we have been able to ensure improvement for every student. We continue to strive towards consistently superior outcomes, leading the way with global best practice in education.”
Hugo added that a special note of congratulation was due to The Bridge Assisted Learning School in Lonehill, whose first Matric cohort achieved an impressive 100% pass rate.
