Alqosh Elementary School for Girls achieves Outstanding

Once again Alqosh Elementary School for Girls stands tall on the top of the pyramid after achieving 100% pass in the final general public exams (becheloria). This achievement is not new for Alqosh School, which is the same unchanged since the early seventies as any mathematical constant ratio except for seldom instances! This school is ranked within the distinguished schools of Nineveh province and owns a professional teaching staff that deals with students professionally with passion, open hearts and balanced discipline.

Ms. Regina Pola, the principal, assured Ankawa.com that the school has achieved this percentage after all the (63) girls of sixth grade passed the general public exam (becheloria) for the year (2005-2006) and achieved high grades as well despite the changes made to the style of questions for some subjects. Ms. Pola mentioned that the student Catherine Gergis Israel ranked the first by achieving 98.8% surpassing all her school mates and the second was student Hind Kamil who scored 98.2%

The principal, Ms. Pola, praised the role of the teaching staff and thanked them for their usual outstanding role and for achieving these honoring results despite the all difficulties facing them especially those related to the school building being rented from the al-Sayeda Monastery that was built hundreds of years ago.

Does such outstanding school with such magnificent history be confined to such fortress?
