Back in the day there were two school-leaving examinations in South Africa: JC, or Junior Certificate in year 10 and SC or Senior Certificate in year 12. This system worked well, but then JC was scrapped and people who should have been receiving technical or professional training are now failing SC (now mostly knows as Matric) in droves. An avoidable disaster. I wouldn't expect to see JC as a human name, even today.
