Results Day Breakdown - 30th August 2018
2017/18 - 14/16 Students Passed (87.5%) 2016/17 - 08/22 Students Passed (36.4%) 2015/16 - 07/18 Students Passed (38.9%) 2014/15 - 07/16 Students Passed (43.8%) 2013/14 - 10/17 Students Passed (58.8%) In Malawi, there are limited number of available places in secondary school and sadly not everyone that passes the exam (primary School leaving certificate exam) gets selected to go to secondary school. Your grades need to be higher percentiles of your cohort to be selected to go to secondary school. 
Results Day - 29th August 2018
The results are in from Jandalala Primary School and we are proud to announce that 14 students have achieved the grades to attend Secondary School next month. The results signify a great achievement for the school, with results at a record high. In 2012 when the project first began no students went onto Secondary School so to have 14 going is fantastic.
