The 2013 Form IV Class
It was the first time Andiamo Secondary School students sat for Malawi School Certificate of Education (MSCE) Examinations. For four years the students were grilled both morally and academically. The results show it worked. Andiamo Secondary School has registered a 98% passing rate and half of the class qualifies to write entrance examinations of University of Malawi!
When a school produces results like these, credit goes to both parents and the teachers only but here at Andiamo we must extend this to other stakeholders like some individuals from Italy who gave scholarships to some deserving students since they were in Form One.
Fr. Mario on the graduation day
Our gratitude should also go to Fr. Mario Pacifici, and Andiamo Youth Cooperative Trust (AYCT) for their unwavering support.
Fr. Mario spends every Sunday with the students sharing with them some moral values. In his Sunday homilies, he makes sure he tackles issues that affect daily life of both the students and the teaching staff. Unlike other institutions where problems like water, electricity take centuries to be rectified, Andiamo Secondary School is blessed because AYCT rushes whenever there is a problem.
On the graduation Day
Malawi National Examinations Board (Maneb) released the 2013 MSCE examinations results with 66,853 candidates out of 127,383 who sat for the examinations qualifying for the award of MSCE certificates, representing a 52.48 per cent pass rate.
