DESPITE THESE CHALLENGES AND LIMITED OPERATING RESOURCES, OUR STUDENTS CONSISTENTLY OUTPERFORM NATIONAL ACADEMIC AVERAGES, AND OUR SCHOOLS ARE RECOGNIZED AS SOUGHT-AFTER WORKPLACES FOR TEACHERS ACROSS THE REGION. OUR SUCCESS IS DRIVEN BY EVIDENCE-BASED PEDAGOGY AND LOCALLY LED SCHOOL MANAGEMENT PRACTICES, REFINED OVER YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WORKING IN CONTEXTS OF PROTRACTED CRISIS.IN 2024, DESPITE ONGOING CONFLICT-RELATED CHALLENGES, OUR STUDENTS CONTINUED TO EXCEL ACADEMICALLY. ONE HUNDRED PERCENT OF STUDENTS PASSED THE NATIONAL PRIMARY SCHOOL EXIT EXAMS, AND THEY CONTINUED TO OUTPERFORM NATIONAL AVERAGES IN EARLY-GRADE READING AND MATH ASSESSMENTS. OUR SCHOOLS MAINTAINED GENDER PARITY (52% GIRLS ENROLLED), AND ALL CAMPUSES PASSED GOVERNMENT BUILDING AND SANITATION INSPECTIONS.IN SEPTEMBER 2024, JUSTICE RISING ALSO LAUNCHED A 30-SCHOOL PILOT IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE NORTH KIVU PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT (EDU-NC) TO STRENGTHEN EDUCATION DELIVERY AND BUILD PUBLIC-SECTOR CAPACITY ACROSS THE PROVINCE.
