Year 13 or Form 7 examination results were released yesterday, with a 90 percent pass rate.
The results are very pleasing, and I must thank the Ministry of Education for the timely release of the results with ‘Back to School Assistance’ underway.
All the hard working and dedicated teachers who made this happen must be congratulated and complimented for their sacrifices and efforts towards their students’ academic performances.
This letter is dedicated to you all. Bravo! Minister for Education has confirmed that there were 7717 students who sat for the 7th Form Examination and the ministry recorded a 90 per cent pass rate this year, while 89 per cent was recorded in 2022, a percent higher.
This shows the Ministry of Education has performed in the positive direction.
This also means that more students are going to enter the tertiary institutions and more demands rested on tertiary institutions and TSLS.
There will be more competition or very competitive among students for the toppers place as well for the entry marks for the programmes
in the tertiary institutions.
There will more challenges or demands in the programmes in the tertiary institutions.
It is very advisable to students to choose programmes of their interests rather following the others.
It is wise to apply for the programme under the TSLS scheme that suits the students and programmes of their interests.
While congratulating the students, I am asking the parents, guardians, teachers, school management and local communities to advise the students well and provide them the necessary support in making wise decisions on their future career pathways as per their academic results.
Don’t aim high or demand high expectations from the students.
Start low and they will escalate higher in future as they will proceed further with their education.
