A total of 25 students from Science Secondary School 2, Gombe, scored 200 and above marks in the 2025 JAMB examinations following an academic partnership under the Student-Work-Study Programme (SWSP) between Pen Resources Academy, Gombe, and Science Secondary School 2.
The Commissioner for Education, Professor Aishatu Maigari, disclosed this yesterday during the award presentation ceremony for outstanding students of Science Secondary School 2, Gombe.
She said the collaboration, which focused on mentoring, academic coaching, and exposure to advanced learning techniques, was designed to enhance performance in science-based subjects.
“Through this initiative, student-teachers from Pen Resources Academy were assigned to assist and coach final-year students of Science Secondary School 2,” she said.
Professor Maigari commended Pen Resources Academy for the excellent work, adding that over 600 students across schools in Gombe had now met the requirements for admission into higher institutions.
Dr Sani Jauro, Proprietor of Pen Resources Academy, described the collaboration as a highly fulfilling experience, noting that the aim was to contribute meaningfully to the advancement of Education in Gombe State.
He stated that the Commissioner for Education invited the academy to partner with Science Secondary School 2 to share their pedagogy and teaching methods, thereby enabling the school to grow independently.
“We graciously accepted the invitation because knowledge is something that must be shared. It’s a mutual process, we learn from each other,” he explained.
He called on other private schools with resources and expertise to partner with the Ministry of Education to support public schools and improve overall academic standards in the state.
He expressed optimism that the school would perform even better in subsequent years following the training received.
