The Commissioner of Juba County, Emmanuel Tete, addressed the pupils of Juba County, urging them to avoid cheating during their exams, as they are the leaders of tomorrow. His remarks came just before the ringing of the bell to signal the start of the primary leaving exam, which begins today, Monday.
Emmanuel emphasized the importance of honesty and integrity, encouraging students to work together with their teachers to ensure both individual success and the overall improvement of their schools.
“You are the future of this country,” he said, “and it is crucial that you approach these exams with the right attitude. Collaboration with your teachers will guide you to success, not just in this exam, but in life.”
Emmanuel also encouraged students to continue studying beyond their current syllabus, especially the books from senior one. “The pressure from your teachers will soon be behind you, but your commitment to learning should not end. Keep reading, stay focused, and avoid negative influences from your peers. Education is your key to becoming better people and building a brighter future for our country.”
Meanwhile, the head teacher of Gudele West Primary and Nursery School, Ampolonia Aqulino, said the school is hosting 16 primary schools in Juba County with a total of 716 pupils, including 314 boys and 402 girls.
The Commissioner’s message was clear: with hard work, dedication, and integrity, the students of Juba County can achieve great things and contribute to the nation’s development.
