Assistant Minister Kweme informed the audience that the Ministry of Education (MoE) is dedicated to enforcing its laws and policies including the approved academic calendar which every stakeholder must abide by. He noted that it is MoE’s law that a student in 9th grade must complete high school in that school and a 12th grade student is not allowed to move to another school across the country. New Hope Academy, which has, as its Motto: “Sound Mind & Good Moral,” a kindergarten to 12 grade high school is an education pilot project of the Better Future Foundation (BFF). Also, according to academic statistics, ten of the 14 top performing students (constituting 71%) for the year are girls, while the other four (constituting 29%) are boys. These achievements, according to Mr. Arkoi, are a result of BFF’s continuous advocacy/programs aimed at promoting female enrolment and retention in school.
