Graduates from schools using the ACE system continue to excel at university Scores of graduates from schools using the ACE system of education are excelling in their studies at over 23 tertiary institutions in South Africa, dispelling a common misconception that students graduating from schools using the ACE system are not able to gain access to tertiary institutions. These ACE graduates are blazing an academic trail at the universities they attend. One female student currently in her third year of medical studies at the University of Pretoria, has an interesting story to tell. She has never been required to write an end of year examination by virtue of the fact that her marks have been of such a high standard that she has gained exemption from writing end year exams for three years running. Numerous students from various institutions report that they have been invited to join the Fellowship of the Golden Key, a prestigious group of top achievers, others have been placed on the dean’s list of achievers. What makes these students so successful? Without fail students agree that the life skill of being able to set goals and achieve them, a vital component of the ACE system, has contributed to their ability to master their studies. Character training and moral fibre has also enabled students to stand firm amidst the challenges that university life presents. Watch this space for more exciting news... |
