“The results show that the inmates surpassed the national pass mark. The quality of results in some of the schools is impressive with 100% bachelor passes.” The department adds that formal education remains a major factor of rehabilitation and helps inmates to transit into transformation agents for the society.
Meanwhile, numbers released by the Department of Higher Education and Training show that the National Pass Rate has not moved since 2011 and holds, managing to stay above 70%. In 2021 there was a slight improvement with the pass rate moving by 0.2% – from 2020’s 76.2% to 2021’s 76.4%.
Yes I'm happy if some inmates engaged in education and passed successfully, but my problem is that once a prisoner u always a prisoner. When you out of prison the system always treat you as prisoner the so called 'criminal record' its very difficult to find a job.
