The exam results for grades 7 and 9 at the Twabuka school are in.
Exam results are certainly not the only measure of success: the very fact that these children and adolescents can attend school every day means keeping them off the streets and, in many cases—especially for girls—protecting them from early marriage. In any case, it’s heartening to see the excellent results achieved and to think that many of these students have been able to return to school thanks to the school lunch program funded with your help.
Here are the 2020 results:
Class 7. 32 students, 2 absent from the exams, 30 present (including 20 girls and 10 boys). Failed: 2 girls. Graduates: 28 (10 boys and 18 girls)
, 9th grade (this grade didn’t exist when we started the project!). 23 students, all of whom took the exams (including 12 girls and 11 boys). Failed: 5 (3 boys and 2 girls).
Promoted: 18 (8 boys and 10 girls)
