Lucia passes with flying colours!
The results of the sixth form national A level examinations have been awaited with great anxiety on the part of many students here in Tanzania. Lucia was among those who were desparate to know what the results were since places at university and other tertiary education establishements are so difficult to come by and competitively sought after.
You can imagine our delight and the great joy of Lucia herself when the results appeared and she had passed with 'Division 1, Six points'. This is an extremely high award for any student and means in UK terms that Lucia got A, B and C in here three principle subjects. Division 1 guarantees her an offer of a place in University where if all goes according to plan she would like to study international relations. Hopefully the planned trip for Lucia to UK for one year will set her off on the right footing in her international relations career and the universities will agree to postpone her place for study to the following academic year. Praise God for the work he is doing in the lives of many of the young people in MCCC and keep praying for others who are studying in colleges and in upper high school even at the present time.
