A very “elated” Cherai told reporters that he expected that he would top the country, pointing out that he made many sacrifices to achieve his goal, one of which included abandoning television.

More so, the youngster related that his class teacher had promised him a cellular phone should he do well at his studies, adding that he intends to collect his reward in the near future.

Meanwhile, the second place student by one mark, Shania Eastman was all too happy to give a comment but eventually calmed down. She too explained that she had to give up television to study for exams adding that her mother had prepared a study timetable to aid her revision.

Over at Peters Hall Primary, a few blocks away from Success Elementary, one of the third place students, Celine Farinha was overcome with tears of joy on hearing of her results.When questioned; she related that it was bitter sweet moment for her.

  1. Exactly he knows what is coming so he will teach according to that, does not mean his students are brightest smile! Congradulations to all the children never easy to study.

  2. I wish to congratulate the students who did well at the NGSA. However, I would like to register my concern with teachers such as Mr. Success who is integrally involved in the preparations of the NGSA examination papers. You know what i mean. This needs to be examined closely and changed

  3. Congratulations to the two top students who made sacrifices and achieved success. Continue to make the right sacrifices in life.
    To all students who did well make a sacrifice.
