January 2021 – Sinoe Multilateral High School is the largest government school in Sinoe County. When we first visited in 2015 only one-third of the classrooms had desks. Trash was everywhere. Groups of boisterous students roamed the hallways and gathered in empty classrooms. Today every classroom was occupied with students seated in desks and teachers teaching. The grounds were clean and free of litter. 131 seniors took the WASSCE national exam in October and 100% passed! The principal gave credit to the SmartBox and our team’s efforts. It is gratifying to see what can happen over five years. Our program is making a difference!

2017 WAEC Results – IEL helped Sinoe County jump from #11 to #1 on the West African Examination Council exam. We started with eight Sinoe County schools in 2015 and within a year were engaged with the SmartBox in 11 of the 14 secondary schools in the county.  Hundreds of students learned how to use the computer and began improving in math and other subject areas.  The WAEC (now WASSCE) exam is given every year to 12th grade students. A passing mark is required to graduate from high school. In 2014 Sinoe County placed #11 out of the 15 counties with a passing rate of 23%. In 2017 Sinoe County placed #1 with an 88% passing rate!
