Bridge International Academies, a leading global education organization, is pleased to announce that its pupils have performed exceptionally for the fifth year in a row at the National Common Entrance Examination.

Alexander Tarhe-Veyan is this year’s highest performing pupil at Bridge with a total score of 188. Earlier in the year, Alexander came first place in The Ultimate Mathematics Ambassador (TUMA) competition out of over 1,800 pupils. Alexander also participated in the Deeper Life High School Entrance Examination where he topped the list with an amazing 92% score.

The best-performing pupil’s result is closely followed by Divine Chinonso Mcanthony who is also the best-performing female Bridge pupil and she had a total score of 186. This year, 121 Bridge pupils registered for the exam, 61 males and 60 females. The result of the exam further proves the learning equity at Bridge as girls made the same leap in learning as boys.

“We are immensely proud of our pupils’ outstanding performance in the National Common Entrance Examination,” said Foyinsola Akinjayeju, Managing Director of Bridge International Academies in Nigeria. “This achievement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our pupils, teachers, and staff, who strive for excellence every day.
