Only 52% pass rate? That's shockingly bad.

Tom Harris2026-07-22T00:11:23.000Z

what a load of shite. Kids these days can't even do basic maths.

Noah Bennett2026-07-22T00:56:23.000Z

nah, it's embarrassing tbh

Grace Patel2026-07-22T00:24:23.000Z

Maybe if they spent less time on TikTok and more time studying... but nah, let's blame the teachers again 🙄

get stuffed. Kids have all the distractions in the world now, no wonder.

Honestly, I'm not surprised. The curriculum has gone soft.

Not everyone learns the same way. Maybe the test is the problem?

harder. Some kids just don't try.

Luca Reid2026-07-22T00:56:23.000Z

Let's not panic. We can work together to improve things for our kids.

River Cole2026-07-22T01:15:23.000Z

ffs, 52% is a joke. How are these kids gonna manage their own money?

James O’Brien2026-07-22T02:10:23.000Z

my point. Soft and no accountability.

Zoe King2026-07-22T01:34:23.000Z

bet the pass rate for the minister's PR degree is even lower
