Parent support programmes in the new South Africa: prerequisite for better matric results?
The 1997 matriculation results with a fa ilu re rate of 52,9%, once again caused great concern country-wide (Jansen, 1998:56).

Five years after apartheid and with a new education dispensation being applied, the expected outcomes in terms of better matriculation results have not yet been realised (Haasbroek, 1998:12-13). The effect of this failure rate is extensive. During the 1993/1994 tax year matric failures cost South Africa R2,38 milliard. This is 13% of the total education budget (Die Volksblad, 1995:12-30).
