Dear Editor,

Last year’s senior six exams showed a trend whereby, upcountry schools performed better than schools in urban areas. The results show that ESI Rwamagana in Eastern Province as the best school country wide.

This in a way shows that schools located upcountry are in a better position to produce good and useful citizens for the country.

At times people have argued that city schools are better equipped and as such have a better chance when it comes to national exams. But the results have now told a different story.

So it now becomes clear that parents do not have to incur great cost of sending their children to schools in the city ion order to have their students perform better.

More still, it also serves poor parents better as they do not have to incur extra cost to send their kids to urban and exclusive schools since their own home are schools are in position to enable them achieve what they would have achieved in urban areas.

Rusumo.
