At the school level, Mansa Colley Bojang Upper-Basic emerged as the undisputed champion, producing 13 top scorers — nine girls and four boys. They were followed by Gambia Methodist Academy with six, St. Peter’s Upper-Basic with five, and Anna Marie Rivier and Anna Marie Javouhey Schools with four each.
Other schools made commendable contributions too. Charles Jow Memorial Academy, Yelding Upper-Basic, Logos Academy, and Jehovah each produced three top scorers. Meanwhile, St. Francis Upper-Basic, Redeemers International, Rekama Upper-Basic, Nema Kunku, Radville Upper-Basic, Abba Bilingual, and Latrikunda Sabiji Upper-Basic each celebrated two candidates.
The list of achievers also included single standout performers from schools like Kunkujang Keitaya, St. Therese’s, Brikama Upper-Basic, Brikamaba UBS, Presentation of Mary, Strand Basic Cycle, Bright Star Basic Cycle, and New Life Upper-Basic.
This year’s results also mark the second consecutive year of overall improvement, signaling steady progress in The Gambia’s education system. Officials at MoBSE praised the collective effort of teachers, parents, and communities in nurturing academic excellence.
They also noted that the wide spread of top scorers from elite urban schools to rural classrooms proves that the culture of excellence is no longer confined to a few institutions. “The results show that brilliance is everywhere in The Gambia,” one education official remarked.
