NORTHERN IRELAND, August 31, 2022 (Maximpact.com Sustainability News)
Three Bedouin sisters from Kuwait are among a group of 16 asylum seekers who have scored highly in their GESEs despite many of them only starting to learn English at the start of this year. The group of students aged between 15 and 18 (were not in school) were being taught English by Maximpact. The two of the 3 sisters will attend the Welcome Club at Glengormely High School 5th Sept
Caroline Kennedy, MaxImpact Head of Refugee Programmes, says the students surpassed all expectations.
“They are as delighted as we are that they scored great marks in their GESEs, a wonderful achievement especially as some of them could not speak English as recently as February this year,” says Ms Kennedy.
These were the first Asylum Seeker students to pass Trinity GESE Graded Examination in Spoken English levels 1-3.
