He also pointed to the professional delivery by teachers and the challenge by the school authority, aided the students’ impressive performances.
“The success of the year 2023 JAMB results, is nothing but a result of hard work and rigor we put our students through in preparation for the examination. Our students were prepared for the JAMB examination right from SS1 class, through an introduction to the CBT examinations. They have software that helps them to write the examinations with proper timing”, Mr Oregbesan said.
“Another contributing factor to the excellent performance was the quality service delivery by the teachers. We also organized extra classes on Saturdays, where extra lectures on English Language, Physics, and Biology were engaged to enhance students’ preparations. We engaged our students in remedial classes; both in the morning and in the evening time.
“The ice on the cake was my encouragement as the principal, to the students before the examination. I challenged them that any student that scores 360 and above will have a special prize from the office of the principal. The target set was a motivation for the students’ success.
“In Kith and Kin, we are resourceful. We impact exceptional values and academic excellence in our students”, the Principal added.
