What the 716 matches mean

Back to Qualifications Intelligence →

716 current opportunities mention Matric / Grade 12 in structured Requirements. That is 56% of the 1281 current opportunities where SpanSam has usable Requirements.

Missing Requirements remain unknown. Responsibilities, employer descriptions, marketing copy and related-job text do not add to this count.

Important: Matric / Grade 12 is counted when it is mentioned in Requirements. A mention may be one option in wording such as “degree or diploma”; it does not automatically mean this is the sole or minimum qualification. This page does not claim these are “Matric / Grade 12-only” jobs.

Methodology and limits

This report analyses current deduplicated opportunities indexed by SpanSam. It describes SpanSam's indexed inventory, not the entire South African labour market.

Signals are counted only from structured vacancy Requirements using the configured SpanSam taxonomy. Missing Requirements are unknown. Counts can change as vacancies open, close or are re-indexed.

Qualification mentions may appear in alternative wording. SpanSam does not interpret a mention as the sole or minimum credential unless the source explicitly establishes that relationship.

Historical movement is not claimed on this topic page until sufficient real daily snapshots exist for a like-for-like comparison.

Current data quality: 1281 of 1389 current opportunities (92%) have usable structured Requirements.
