Our new A level students Elizabeth, Yohana and Pascali reported to their schools in August. They were allocated places by the Ministry of Education on the strength of their O level results. This is a major achievement in itself. Credit goes to the young people and to Busega Scotland’s teacher at Mayega, Mr Reni, who provides invaluable tutoring. He is second from the left in the photograph.

Elizabeth is studying English, Geography and History at Dutwa Secondary School.

The boys are at Minaki Secondary School. Yohana is studying Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics and Paschali is doing Chemistry, Biology and Geography.

They are government schools that have good reputations. Dutwa was opened in 1998. Manaki is much older, being the third oldest secondary school in Tanzania. Originally an Anglican mission school, it was taken over by the Tanzanian government in 1970.

Good luck to our students in their studies.
