The Ministry of Education in Sudan’s White Nile State has announced a 96 percent pass rate in the intermediate school examinations.
Shafaq Mustafa Suleiman Mohamed, a student at Al-Manhal Al-Azab Private Girls’ School in Rabak locality, emerged as the state’s top performer after achieving a perfect score of 280 out of 280 marks.
A total of 23,026 students sat the examinations, with the results indicating broadly comparable academic performance across the state’s nine localities, all of which recorded pass rates exceeding 90 percent.
White Nile State Minister of Education Ismail Ali Adam said the results had been achieved despite a compressed academic year, describing the overall performance as evidence of the resilience of the education sector amid challenging circumstances.
“All nine localities registered pass rates above 90 percent, reflecting relatively consistent levels of academic attainment across the state,” he said.
The minister explained that the ranking of localities from first to ninth did not indicate substantial disparities in educational performance, stressing that their results were closely comparable.
Meanwhile, White Nile Governor Gamar Abdel-Mawla commended teachers and education sector personnel for their dedication and sustained efforts, describing the examination results as an outstanding achievement.
“This impressive performance was the culmination of tireless work and considerable efforts undertaken day and night, despite the difficulties and challenges that had disrupted the education process,” he stated.
The governor emphasized that the achievement was no coincidence but rather the result of collective efforts to sustain educational activities and enable students across the state to succeed in their examinations.
