Aga Khan Elementary School [Kampala, Uganda] says it has achieved the global ranking of gold from projects that the students presented for the April Cambridge Primary Checkpoint examinations.

Speaking at the Year 6 graduation ceremony at Aga Khan School on Friday last week, Mr. Emmanuel Ndori, the head teacher of Aga Khan Elementary School, said the institution was ranked in the gold category because of the practical solutions that the students were providing to address global issues such as pollution, hunger, and climate change.

In the exams, the examiners assessed the students’ skills for research, analysis, evaluation, reflection, communication, and collaboration.

The head teacher explained that whereas the global average marks for English, Mathematics, and Science stood at 33, 32, and 32 respectively, the school set theirs at 39 for English, 36 for Mathematics, and 43 for Science, leading to a 100 percent pass rate.
