- The subject was introduced in 2006 while Pandor was basic education minister (2004–2009); she said officials persuaded her to approve it despite her reservations.
- According to Pandor, many pupils moved from pure mathematics to Mathematical Literacy, reducing overall mathematics numbers, although she considers the subject valuable rather than a replacement.
- The class of 2025 recorded an 88% national pass rate under minister Siviwe Gwarube, while Pandor’s lowest was 62.5% in 2008; she said exams were tougher during her tenure because she prioritised quality.
- Pandor said weak performance often indicated inadequate teaching and called for improved teacher training and greater attention to subject competence.
I didn’t support maths literacy because I knew it would be a disaster, but I allowed officials to persuade me.— Naledi Pandor, Nelson Mandela University chancellor, in an interview on the Renaissance podcast; reflecting on her tenure as basic education minister (2004–2009) and admitting she didn’t support maths literacy because she knew it would be a disaster but allowed officials to persuade her.
