When I Grow Up

The last set of exams in Lebanon saw some great results. Overall the children achieved a 99% pass rate for the Arabic and Maths tests which were taken by 211 students, and a 100% pass rate for English which was taken by 68 older students. 

Exams are graded on a scale of 1 -10 with 10 the highest, 1 the lowest and 6 a pass. The majority of students are high-performing with 70% getting a grade 9 or above in Maths, 67% in Arabic and 59% in English.

You can see from the photo above that the children have loved celebrating, but what would they like to do with their skills in the future? Our partners asked them and here are a few of the responses...

”I like everything about the school, everyone in my class is my friend and I love to study here most of all. I want to be a lawyer when I grow up and for people to say I am respectable”. ​

Quasim, aged 10.

“I want to be able to leave class and go to a shop to buy snacks, but I’m not allowed to because it is far away. I do like school though and I like to learn. I am friends with every person in my class. I want to be a tailor when I grow up, I want people to say I am wealthy and kind”

Farid, aged 11.

“I think the teachers are very smart and I like to learn new things from them. I like to help my teacher in the classroom and I want to be a teacher when I grow up. I want people to say that I learned to teach well and than I am a kind woman”.

Yara, aged 10.

“I like to learn Computer, English, and Maths but my favourite lesson is drawing. I want to be an artist when I grow up and for people to say ‘she is a talented artist, her work is beautiful”

Iman, aged 10.
