Graceland International Students' WAEC Exam Results Outstanding Compared to the Rest of the Nation

6/14/2018

0 Comments

 
In a recent editorial published in the Nigerian daily “This Day”, it was noted that the most recent WAEC exam results were again dismal, even depressing. Unless the authorities take action to turn around the state of education in the country, educational standards will continue to fall. Nationally, only 18% of the candidates who entered the exams received results that would gain them admission into some of the better universities.

In contrast the results of the students at Graceland International School surpasses the national results.

The consideration of a hospital adjacent to Graceland International School.
AEP has been made aware of a wonderful opportunity, one that will enhance both the school and the surrounding neighborhood. Kateri Medical Services, Inc., led by Ven. Tom Furrer, president of that non-profit organization, has been involved in  discussion with Bishop John Danbinta regarding plans to build a hospital adjacent to the the school.  The conversations began last March, when an AEP representative was invited to attend a meeting with the two leaders and a group of doctors.  Ven. Tom Furrer provided the parameters for the construction of the proposed hospital.  This proposed project reinforces the connection between education and medical care.

Education Challenges, Zamfara State

6/1/2018

0 Comments

 
Compulsory, free Universal Basic Education in primary and junior secondary schools, is the Nigerian Federal Government’s policy- yet millions of children especially from families of low income, either don't go to school or drop out. In Zamfara, the government has said it has taken measures to address the problem, yet thousands have never entered a classroom or have dropped out for economic and cultural reasons.
