Educate & Empower Children in Rural Sierra Leone

Another EduNations school year is coming to a close, with just two months left. As the year wraps up, EduNations' students are completing their end-of-term exams. Below is a brief description of the annual exams, written by our Education Officer, Hassan M. Koroma. 

The 6-3-3-4 system of education in the country calls for two tests every term; the first test (T1) is administered mid-term and the second test  (T2) toward the end of the term after the annual athletic competition.

T2 is a comprehensive assessment covering academic knowledge, skills, and aptitude through both verbal and written testing as well as the students’ physical fitness.

The student’s annual report card, while of course considering grades and attendance, also addresses a more holistic assessment in three major areas:
1) “cognitive” including comprehension and retention of academic material,
2) “psychomotor” including mental aptitude and physical skill, and
3) “affective” including personal behaviour and social skills.

Since they are so committed to their students, EduNations teachers don’t just consider work and behaviour in the school setting.  EduNations teachers also monitor their students both in and out off of class to do a more complete assessment.

While this is just an overview of the assessment process at the end of a term, we hope it conveys how dedicated EduNations staff are to providing the best education possible.
