Upper Nile State governor, James Odhok Oyai, rang the bell on Monday to kick off the primary 8 exams, marking an important milestone for pupils who will soon advance from primary to secondary school.<\/p>\n
The exams, which are a crucial part of the education system, will test the student’s knowledge and aptitude in various subjects.<\/p>\n
Successful completion of the primary 8 exams will ensure that the pupils are able to move on to their next level of education and continue their academic journey towards a brighter future.<\/p>\n
Mr. Odhok urged the P.8 candidates to study well, taking advantage of the prevalence of peace and stability in the state.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is an important day for you as pupils of Upper Nile. If you get your certificates, you will enter university at your tender age; you will be the future of Upper Nile State and South Sudan,\u201d he morally boosted the pupils.<\/p>\n
He encouraged them to write their exams well to lead South Sudan in the primary leaving examinations nationwide this year.<\/p>\n
The Upper Nile State Minister for Education, Peter Reath Dak, appreciated the committee that brought the examinations and the security personnel who are guarding the examinations.<\/p>\n
He also reminded the pupils that the exam would climax their time in primary and take them to secondary school.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am really glad to see you today for this exam. It is your day today that we are celebrating. I can call it a celebration because this is the time for you to leave primary and go to the next level,\u201d he praised.<\/p>\n
Reath encouraged the pupils not to panic and be distressed but to concentrate to produce good results.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut as the student, I want to inform you; that this is not a new thing to you. I know some of you may panic, some of you may be in distress, and that there is something new in the exam that will make you fail,\u201d Reath said.<\/p>\n
“Please, I have to advise you: don\u2019t put this in your mind; there is nothing that will come out of what you learned already unless you study hard. If you do, I believe you will pass this exam with good results,” he continued.<\/p>\n
In Last year\u2019s results, boys performed better than girls across the country. Male pupils scored 90.1 percent, while girls scored 86.8 percent.<\/p>\n
The best primary school went to Jonglei State\u2019s<\/p>\n
Wise Dove Academy was the best primary school with a score of 94 percent; the second school was Ritnom School, with 91.9 percent; and the third position was occupied by Alpha Junior Academy, with 91.9 percent, all from Jonglei State.<\/p>\n
But Dr. John Garang Boys in Upper Nile State came in fifth with a whopping 91.4 percent score.<\/p>\n
