In their vision to provide an excellent learning centre where all pupils achieve their maximum potential in academic, social, spiritual and physical endeavors, African Children School in Brusubi on Saturday held its 11th graduation speech and prize giving ceremony.

The ceremony was observed with poetry and dancing interludes by both graduates and pupils.

Hon. Ousman A. Bah, Minister of Communications in his remarks as Chief Guest of Honour said the most important attitude that could benefit pupils/students is commitment in order to achieve their goals.

He added that many Gambians want to achieve their goals but have not been committed towards their them.

He noted that as a participant in life, one is committed to failure or success, saying one needs to therefore consider what to be committed to.

He urged pupils/students to be committed in order to achieve their goals, saying they have powers to fill their brains with knowledge and study harder for the required results and succeed in whatever they love.

He concluded by saying that boys and girls are the cream and future of The Gambia and as such need to sit upright.

Rev. Richard Jackson, Founder of African Children School expressed gratitude in graduating the 11th batch of the school.

He pointed out that education is the best investment parents can make in their children to positively impact their future.

He urged parents to provide their children with good education by enrolling them in schools like African Children School to make them better people in society to contribute to the development of The Gambia and world at large.

Ebrima Fatty, a teacher who has been working with the school for the past 6 years thanked the school management for shaping his career.

He said the school bought him a motor bike to ease his mobility to the school as well as in carrying out other errands.

He thanked Rev. Jackson who implements effective monitoring of both teachers and pupils at the school. "Rev. Jackson is a good leader who leads by examples," he stated.
