Volkskool Orania, which follows an alternative education system with a heavy focus on the children’s personal responsibility, also achieved a 100% pass rate with university admission. Volkskool’s matrics write the education department’s national senior certificate examination, and scholars in Orania can therefore choose which system they want to join. Volkskool also has a strong distance learning program across the country.
