MARIAN Secondary School in Bagamoyo Region has claimed the top slot in last year's Form Four National Examinations.
Private secondary schools faired better this time after claiming the top ten positions pushing government-owned schools further down the rankings.
Announcing the results in Dar es Salaam yesterday, the Executive Secretary of the National Examination Council of Tanzania (NECTA), Ms Joyce Ndalichako, said that the top ten schools were grouped into two categories.
The initial category comprises schools with more than 35 candidates whose number stood at 2,258. The second category brings together 240 schools with less than 35 candidates.
The top ten schools with more than 35 candidates are Marian Girls, St James Seminary in Kilimanjaro Region; Don Bosco Seminary (Iringa); St Francis Girls (Mbeya); St. Mary Junior Seminary (Coast Region); Uru Seminary (Kilimanjaro) and Feza Boys of Dar es Salaam.
Others are Anwarite Girls, Maua Seminary and St Mary Goreti, all of Kilimanjaro Region.
The top ten schools with less than 35 candidates were Feza Girls (Dar es Salaam); Mafinga Seminary (Iringa); St Joseph-Kilocha Seminary (Kilimanjaro); Queen of Apostlers -Ushirombo (Shinyanga); Dungunyi Seminary (Singida) and Rubya Seminary of Kagera.
Others are Sengerema Seminary in Mwanza; Bethelsabs Girls in Iringa; Thomas More Machrina of Dar es Salaam and St Hellen's of Dar es Salaam.
Ms Ndalichako said that 339,925 candidates (91,589 among them being private candidate) sat for the exams last year and 173,323 among them (which is 72.51 per cent) have passed the exam. A total of 74,696 of them are girls and the rest are boys.
The number of candidates who sat for the national examinations last year has increased as compared to the previous year's total where 241,472 students attempted the exams.
"This shows that the number of students joining secondary schools is increasing due to the introduction of ward schools," she said.
The total number of candidates who passed the examination is 222,800 out of which 49,477 were private candidates.
She said that boys have faired much better in the examinations than girls. The number of boys who passed the examination is 123,060 while that of girls is 99,740.
The best ten students who did remarkably well were Immaculate Mosha from Marian Girls; Gwamaka Njobelo of Mzumbe Secondary Scool; Wolfgang Seiya of Majengo Secondary School; Vanessa Chilunda and Faith Assenga Doreen Philbert both of Marian Girls.
Others are Zahra Maghji of Usagara; John Kimbari of St James Seminary; Said Abdallah and Evance Lwanga both from Feza Boys.
Ms Ndalichako announced the poorest ten schools with more than 35 candidates as Busi of Dodoma; Milola of Lindi; Misima of Tanga; Kiwere of Tabora; Potwe Day of Tanga; Masanze of Morogoro; Mandawa of Lindi; Msata of Coast; Chekelei of Tanga and Jangalo of Dodoma.
The poorest ten schools with less than 35 candidates are Kizara of Tanga, Mingumbi of Lindi, Songolo of Dodoma, Nahukahuka of Lindi, Marambo of Lindi, Dole of Zanzibar, Ruponda of Lindi, Mpunyule of Lindi, Ruruma of Singida and Viziwi Njombe of Iringa.
She said that the results of 468 students were held due to suspected cheating. Other students failed to meet the required criteria.
She urged students to avoid cheating in examinations and refrain from buying fake examinations. She advised students to study hard in order to score high marks in their examination.
