The Office of the Adentan Municipal Chief Imam, in collaboration with Race 4 Aid, on Thursday, September 4, 2025, held a celebration in Tamale to honour the 2025 BECE candidates and teachers of Al-Eman Institute in the Nafarin, Nyankpala in Tamale for their outstanding performance in the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE)

The recognition came during a brief get-together organized to applaud the school’s 26 candidates, who achieved remarkable results with the best aggregate of 11 and the lowest at 17.

Teachers honored for the 2024–2025 academic year include Abdulai Ibrahim, Salifu Mohammed, and Fuseini Salifu.

Speaking at the event, Sheikh Imam Mohammed Mutawakil Abubakar, Director of Race 4 Aid, explained that the initiative aimed to motivate students from deprived communities in the Northern Region while recognizing those who had excelled in their exams.

He noted that in August 2024, Race for Aid organized a literacy and numeracy capacity-building workshop for teachers in Nyankpala, a move that significantly improved teaching outcomes.

This intervention, he said, contributed to the impressive performance of Al-Eman Institute’s candidates, all of whom successfully passed and qualified for Senior High School.

The Adentan Municipal Chief Imam congratulated the candidates on their achievements and commended the teachers and Arabic instructors for their dedication.

He encouraged the graduates to remain focused as they advanced in their academic journey.

As part of the ceremony, Imam Mutawakil presented prizes to instructors in recognition of their tireless efforts to improve education in rural areas.

He further assured that Race for Aid and its partners would continue supporting educational initiatives across the region.

The proprietor of Al-Eman Institute praised Imam Mutawakil for his unwavering contributions to the school and offered prayers for him and Race for Aid donors for their consistent support.

Parents and students also expressed deep gratitude to the organization for its commitment to expanding educational opportunities within the community.
