Congrats to achievers

AS we continue to reel in the midst of appalling happenings caused by our volatile politics, it's our children who have displayed a remarkable achievement through their brilliant results in this year's Junior School Certificate exams. Not only that the pass rate has hit an all time record at  89.71 per cent but also the number GPA-5 holders is the highest thus far. The 91per cent pass rate in Junior Dakhil Certificate (JDC) exams deserves a credit too.
Two features in particular in this year's JSC exams need mentioning. First, incorporation of an optional subject for the first time, and the second being students' overall better performance in English and mathematics compared to last year. However, it's the adaptability and preparation in the face of frequent changes in exam schedules that have caught our admiring attention.
Our kids with their outstanding abilities have only proved the age old proverb 'where there is a will there is a way'. Apart from the students we also congratulate the teachers, their parents and their guardians on their collective success.
