Three students from Greensprings School, Lagos have made Nigeria proud again. They surpassed the world average in twelve (12) subjects in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) exam.
These were the same set of students that won $1.3 million in scholarship to study in top global universities few months ago.
IBO says Greensprings students scores exceed 1,214
According to worldwide statistics of the May 2019 IBDP exam published by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO), which is the international body in charge of the sixth-form programme. The average scores of the Greensprings students in the twelve subjects exceed that of the 1,214 schools in 94 countries that did the exam.
To mention a few, the subjects in which the students beat the world average are English Language, Literature, Mathematics, Biology, Computer Science, Business Management and Psychology.
Nigerian students can compete favourably globally
Speaking on the release of the statistics, Mr Abidemi Arimoro, the IB Diploma Coordinator of Greensprings School, said he was thrilled by the fabulous results achieved by the students.
He added that the publication of the statistics reveals that, if given a quality education, Nigerian students can compete with their counterparts all over the world.
Determination, hard-work is key to students’ success
However, he remarked that the students showed a lot of determination and put in a great deal of work. Therefore, all of their achievements are well-deserved.
The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme is a post-secondary school programme designed to prepare students for life in tertiary institutions.
It is administered by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO), and students admitted into the programme are expected to have a minimum of 5 credits in their O’ Levels (GCSEs, IGCSEs or WASSCE) including English and Mathematics.
