Hello ANSWER Sponsors and Friends:

VERY EXCITING NEWS TO SHARE! At the end of their 10^th grade year, all students take a graduation exam called the School Leaving Certificate (SLC).  The SLC is a very difficult college entrance exam.  About half of all total students who took the exam this year failed.  However, ANSWER students continue to excel:  We just received the scores of our 44 students and they all passed with record results!  We had 21 students pass with Distinction (A+), 20 in First Division (A, B), and 3 in Second Division (C). To score with Distinction is an amazing achievement and 9 of our students scored above 85%!  These scores are literally one in a thousand and may qualify them for extra scholarships.  To date 116 ANSWER students have taken the SLC exam and all have passed and gone on to college.
