Final Results 2022

The results of 2022 also confirmed once more that excellent work is done at Kishumundu Secondary School. All Form IV students passed the final exams. Of these students 5 accomplished with DIV I, 19 with DIV II, 11 with DIV III and 13 with DIV IV (Source: https://matokeo.necta.go.tz/csee2022/results/s0492.htm ). These 2022 results at KSS are outstanding!!

 

Unfortunately NECTA stopped to indicate the nationwide ranking position as well as districtwide positions of schools, which made school comparisons easy going in the past. However, the average DIV of Kishumundu Secondary School this year improved in an impressive way to 2,66. This is extraordinary good compared to the recent years, were it already hasn't been bad (see the following Figure) !

 

Congratulations to all students and their teachers involved in teaching and preparation!
