NASSAU, BAHAMAS — On Saturday, June 5, local educational organization Guaranteed Success hosted a motivational day for students in efforts to relieve the anxiety of preparing to take the national examinations and re-energize students after a tedious school year of virtual learning.
Realizing that both parents and students experience this anxiety, the Guaranteed Success team endeavored to host a fun-filled day for students with motivational words provided by guest speakers along with certificates of participation, meals at no cost, prizes and surprises.
Guaranteed Success for National Exams’ vision is to educate and equip teenagers, adolescents and adults with the necessary skills, knowledge and educational resources to pass national examinations through face-to-face teaching.
The organization’s mission is to create a nurturing atmosphere in which academic success is attainable. Guaranteed Success endeavors to expand its community-based program into a public sector resource made available to civil servants, who wish to sit the national examinations for the purpose of career advancement.
Its motto is “Success is Achievable” and it aims to help students develop a positive attitude towards academic achievement, overall improvement in academic performance and improved national examination performance.
Guaranteed Success for National Examinations is the brainchild of Anita Wilmott, who observed a societal need for additional instructional guidance to prepare teenagers and adolescents for the Bahamas Junior Certificate (BJC) and Bahamas General Certification of Secondary Education (BGCSE) examinations.
With this in mind, the program opened its doors on October 5, 2017 with the assistance of Syann Rahming as administrator of operations.
The program’s vision was also assisted by Dr Jacinta Higgs, a pioneer in education, who offered the physical structure of Akhepran International Academy (AIA) and its facilities in which the program would be held. Akhepran International Academy provided some of the program’s first scholars, recommending its students in grades 7 through 12 to attend Guaranteed Success’ classes. Today, the program remains at AIA’s Bernard Road location and its team remains indebted to Higgs for her generous and invaluable contribution.
From its inception, Guaranteed Success for National Examinations has offered BJC and BGCSE classes in Language, Mathematics, General and Health Sciences and Biology. In 2019, there was an increasing demand for Religious Studies and Social Studies tutoring, and in response to the needs of its clientele, the program now offers both subjects.
The program’s teaching staff consists of trained, experienced and qualified educators whose dedication and mastery of their respective subject areas has led to the program’s overall examination pass rate of 85 percent.
Over the years, Guaranteed Success has pledged a commitment to inclusivity and philanthropy, awarding scholarships and the provision of free meals to families who cannot afford extra classes. The program also provides educational support to students with learning difficulties and impairments. In the year 2021, Guaranteed Success is proud to have accepted students of the Centre for the Deaf, who deserve equal opportunities in assistance to pass national examinations and to be accepted into private schools of their choosing.
Hundreds of students from both private and public institutions have passed through the program’s doors since its inception.
