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.

Our first class of students sat for WAEC in 2016, when 35 candidates registered.
27 candidates obtained credits in 9 subjects.
6 candidates obtained credits in 8 subjects.
2 candidates obtained credits in 7 subjects.
All of the GIS candidates obtained the required 6 credits, including English and Mathematics, which allowed them to gain admission to university or other institutions of higher learning. One of the girls also obtained the highest mathematics marks in the whole of Zamfara state.

The 2017 results were equally impressive.
84 candidates entered the examinations.
4 candidates passed all 9 credit subjects.
50 candidates passed 8 credit subjects.
7 candidates passed 7 credit subjects.
5 candidates received 5 or 6 credit subjects.
This means that 79 out of 84 candidates received enough of the required credits to gain admission to a university.

The impressive thing about these students is that they have very high ambitions for their futures. They speak of becoming  doctors, lawyers, engineers, and other professionals.
