After a successful completion of Grade 10 examinations, the Grade 12s of Gordons Secondary School began their national exams.
This year the school has 274 students sitting for upper secondary examinations.
There are 31, 252 students nationwide in total sitting for this year’s Grade 12 national examinations.
Gordons Secondary School Principal Mr. George Wek Kenega stated that there was no significant increase or decrease in student numbers.
“We have almost the same number of students we used to have since 2022. Of course, during the school year, students withdraw due to absenteeism, and personal issues but the estimated numbers remain consistent.”
