“The
commission, therefore, commends all Girls Catholic Schools for their remarkable
feat at the just announced examination results, and indeed all the others
before. This is a clear sign that the schools are dedicated in offering quality
education to girls. This, in essence, contributes to attainment of some of the
Millennium Development Goals: girl/women empowerment and poverty reduction.
There is a popular adage which says when you educate a girl, you educate a
nation,” he said

Meanwhile,
the ECM’s Education Commission says it is making every effort to maintain and
in other cases improve to attain the best grades across all Catholic schools. “We
will, in due course, implement a Catholic Education policy, and also start
holding workshops for managers and teachers of catholic schools to share
experiences, challenges and best practices as we continue the noble work that
Christ left to us – teaching. Christ is our role model,” said Ndhlovu
