Maoka Students Shine At Prize Giving

The prize giving ceremony, intended to reward students who excel in their studies and encourage those lagging behind, was centered on the theme "Hard Work and Commitment: Good Recipe for Success" and included speeches from the guest speaker, the Botswana Housing Corporation Public and Corporate Affairs Manager, Mookodi Modimoosi Seisa, and the acting school head, B. C. Ongadile, as well as poetry, drama, karate demonstrations and traditional dancing performances staged by the students.

For the past three years Maoka has achieved well above the target pass rate of 80 percent that the Ministry of Education and Skills Development has set for all schools.
However the 2007 results showed a 2.5 percent drop to 89.percent from the 2006 92.4 percent pass rate. The 2008's mid-year examination results worryingly lowered the pass rate further with a 13.1percent decline to 76 percent.
