Sema Turkish High School Tops In South African: Mali President On Turkish School Success
7 July 2009
Johannesburg's Sema Turkish High School has left its mark on the 45th National Science Olympiads, organized last month by the South African Agency for Science and Technology Advancement (SAASTA), with four of its students winning the top four spots. This year's National Science Olympiads, the most prestigious science competition in South Africa, were held in Johannesburg. Sema Turkish High School, attended by 20,000 students, became the most successful school at the Olympiads when four of its students won the first four places. The winners were handed their awards by South African Science and Technology Minister Naledi Pandor in a ceremony held on June 2 and attended by the country's leading academics and scientists along with the organizers of the Olympiads. The “Most Successful School” award was given to Sema Turkish High School headmaster Yavuz Aydin. “This success is a blessing from God following the collective efforts of our school led by our biology teacher, Ayse Veli, and teacher Remzi Hasanli. Our school becomes more and more successful every year,” Aydin said. Fatima Mansoor, who ranked first at the Olympiads, was given the “Most Successful Student” award and qualified to attend the London International Youth Science Forum, to be held on July 29. President of Mali praises success of Turkish schools Malian President Amadou Toumani Toure has praised the quality of education offered at Turkish schools in Mali, saying the schools allow Malian children to be successful. Ufuk High School, a Turkish school in the Malian capital of Bamako, held a commencement ceremony for its graduating seniors on Wednesday at which President Toure delivered a speech. Praising the high quality education provided at Ufuk High School, he said, “I would like to thank everyone -- our teachers in particular -- who contributes to the education of our children.” With 31 graduates this year, 100 percent of Ufuk High School seniors passed last year's high school graduation exams. The most successful students in Bamako in the fields of mathematics and social sciences are those from the Turkish school. Drawing attention to the international successes of Ufuk High School students, Toure said, “This shows that our children can also be successful.” Toure's daughter Lobbo Coulibal is a student at a Turkish school. She came to Ankara recently as part of 7th Turkish Olympiads held in Turkey in June. She was among a group of participants who visited Turkish President Abdullah Gül. During his speech, Toure also delivered his compliments to the Turkish government and Gül, whom he called his close friend. Turkish schools in Mali began operating in 2003 with 68 students. There are three elementary schools, one high school for girls and one high school for boys in Bamako.
