It was song and dance at Al-Azar primary school in Garissa County after the top five candidates scored 400 marks and above with girls taking three of the slots in last year’s KCPE results.

Parents, teachers, and pupils joined the top performers in celebrating one of the best results by the private school since its inception in 2006.

The top performing girl Sundus Mahamed Shafi who scored 407 thanked the teachers and her parents for motivating her and the rest of the candidates in their studies. 

“I was expecting over 420 marks but I thank God for the result. I want to be a doctor in the future and more so an independent woman who will change the course of women in my society,” she said.

Ridwan Mohamed Abdi, a girl, came in second with 404 and was followed closely by Abdullahi Idris (boy) with 402. Another girl Fardosa Abdikadir scored 400 to tie with Mohamed Yussuf Ahmed with 400. 

The top candidate’s father Mohamed Shafi Abdi said his daughter was hard working and he was expecting her to score more than 400 marks.

Yustur Farah, a parent at the school, attributed the excellent performance of the school to a good working relationship between the parents, teacher, and pupils.

Geoffrey Lunayo, a teacher at the school, said that they worked hard as a school fraternity in preparing the candidates over the years, and ‘today’s results were a manifestation of the same’.

He said that an enabling environment by the school management also contributed to the excellent performance of the school.

By the time of going to press, most of the schools in the area had not received their results.
