Graduation – Bachelor Degree in Business Administration
The results have just come in for the Primary Leaver Exams (PLE) and we would like to say a huge congratulations to all the candidates as they have all passed well and so can start Secondary School.
These students have all worked through lock-down and with the big changes that happened to schooling after that to achieve their success. The photo is during the one-to-one lessons during catching up when all the schools were closed. And Jason pictured has gone on to secure a division 1 pass, the highest joining just 11.8% of those that took the exam. Uganda-wide 10.4% of exam candidates did not pass the exams at all and so will not be able to continue their studies.
Jason enjoys school and says "I have had a great time in school, I have made so many friends, I have engaged in many activities like debating, playing football and swimming."
Another great success is for Christine. She passed in division 3, a huge achievement.
Christine is a 17 year old orphan whose education is now supported by CRESS donors. In 2023 she took her Primary Leaver Exams. She is pictured above with Scopas who went, on behalf of the CRESS Education department, to attend the parents meeting for her. All the exam candidate were taken to Jinja for extra study and needed those fees paid. The study tour took place in July before the exams in November.
Being an orphan she had no one else to go to the meeting for her. She says to Scopas she never knows where she would be now without CRESS!
To her sponsor she wrote
“Am working so hard so that I secure good grade for secondary education. I would love to study in Arua for my secondary education.
I spend my holidays in Imvepi Refugee camp. I live with my elder brother’s wife. We grow small garden of vegetables like sukuma, cabbages and I enjoy them a lot as we use it to supplement with the small beans we receive from UN.
I want to become a medical doctor or a nurse when I finish school. I want to help my community with health care services.”
With our best wishes to all those starting new secondary schools in the coming weeks.
