Jan 2010 - Great Primary 7 Exam Results
In January 2010 we were delighted to receive news from Ivan that the P7 students achieved 8 first grades, 22 second grades and 1 third grade in their end of year exams. These are good results. In Uganda few people have anything more than a primary education so the Centre is doing a great job of providing children with the blessing of a sound primary education.
