JSS 1 – Class of 2017-18<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Due to changes in Government \u2013 a newly elected president of Sierra Leone – SSS4
\n(Senior Secondary School 4) is being phased out and SSS will finish in SSS3. So,
\nat the end of this academic year 60 sponsored pupils, instead of the expected 30,
\nwill be taking their WASSCE (West African Senior School Certificate
\nExamination).<\/p>\n
A good number of the sponsored pupils find it very difficult to have three meals a
\nday, and some struggle to have even one. No electricity at night means it is very
\ndifficult for many of them to study or complete homework in the evenings. In
\nspite of these challenges, at the end of last academic year approximately 70% of
\nsponsored pupils were successfully promoted to the next year group.<\/p>\n
Theresa thanks everyone for \u2018the tremendous work you are doing in helping in
\nthe development of these children. May God continue to bless you all and your
\nfamilies.\u2019<\/p>\n
