Rising students achieve stellar results again in Sierra Leone!

Continuing the success of last year, our private schools in Sierra Leone have delivered outstanding results in the National Primary School Examinations (“NPSE”), which take place at the end of Grade 6. Rising finished #1 out of 600 schools in the rural Western Area region. Furthermore, Rising students across all schools realised a 100% pass rate, with the average score of the girls (296) slightly surpassing the average score of the boys (294). This is the second successive year Rising students have achieved a 100% pass rate in the NPSE exams. 

Success in Grade 6 was replicated by our students in Grade 9 also. 100% of our 141 students taking the Basic Education Certificate Examination (“BECE”) passed. Rising achieved the top BECE results in the West Area Rural District Council, ranking 1st out of 350 JSS schools!

Congratulations to all the students for these outstanding achievements.

We’ve been delighted to see these strong results for our students lead to very positive reviews from our Parents. In a recent survey, Rising’s parents gave the schools an extremely high Net Promoter Score of 73. These high satisfaction levels are leading to increased enrolments. Our private schools in Sierra Leone have seen a 17% enrolment increase from the last academic year at the time of writing.
