Aweil National School To Admit 150 Students
The Directorate of General Education and Instruction in Northern Bahr el Ghazal says that Aweil National Secondary School is ready to accommodate up to 150 students for the 2012-2013 academic year. 20 March 2013 By Abraham Agoth AWEIL, 19 March 2013 [Gurtong]-While addressing the journalists in his office, Ceaser Atem Biajo outlined the several reasons why the 2012-2013 is going to different from the rest the intakes. “This year’s academic intake is quite different from the previous intakes for numerous reasons; one of the reasons is that one county [Aweil West] has dominated the top 50 and if we say we choose students according to the best performance then the rest of the counties may miss the chance of 2013 intakes. Another reason is that the number of students passed for 2012-2013 academic year is extremely higher than that of last year or other years back,” Biajo said. He said that since Aweil National Secondary School is the only national school in the state, there is a need for transparent allocations so that all six counties are fully represented. “We are admitting 20 students from each of the six counties of the state and the best 31 students who performed well within Aweil town so it makes a total of 151 students compared to last year which was 200 students admitted for 2011-2012 academic year intakes,” he said. He said that girls are given exception and preference in order to help build their capacity so that girl-child education is promoted in all the counties of the state. “We have admitted 20 female students at Aweil National Secondary School though their performances were not so high as such, this was done in order to encourage and build motivation for the rest of the upcoming girls to tighten their belts in competing with the boys in kinds of school competitions be it writing and other physical games,” he said.
