The bolded subordinating conjunction "Although" in the sentence is **linking the dependent clause to the independent clause which adds information to the main clause**. It indicates a contrast between the success in matric and the difficulty faced in university classes. The dependent clause "Although they did well in matric" provides context for the situation described in the independent clause, highlighting that despite their previous success, they are encountering challenges at the university level.
