The Arusha Meru International School’s Chief Executive Officer, Dr Zeeshan Khan said the management takes pride in such academic achievements, adding that the talent hunt winners not only excelled in writing the examinations, but also displayed outstanding leadership skills.

Acting School Principal Mwalimu Mustapha Omar Nassoro explained that among the subjects that the candidates sat for in the exams include English, Sciences, Mathematics and General Knowledge, with students of upper school also sitting for additional choice papers such as Business studies.

But from the results, it seems many candidates did very well in sciences and Arts Subjects.

On his part the Arusha Meru School Board Chairperson Kake Radhiwal said “Many Tanzanians want to access international education such as Cambridge but most cannot afford, therefore Arusha Meru is rolling out this opportunity to the talented Tanzanian youths.”
