By Aga Samuel Imoter, Jalingo

Excellence International School, Jalingo, has reaffirmed its commitment to world-class education through international partnerships, innovative teaching and sustained investment in academic excellence. The Proprietress and Executive Director, Mrs. Martha H. Karma, stated this during the school’s ninth annual prize-giving and graduation ceremony at its permanent site along Mile Six, Jalingo, Taraba State.

Karma said the school was established to make globally competitive education accessible to children in Taraba State and beyond. She said its international outlook had been strengthened through partnerships with the Cambridge educational system, the British Council and UK-based educational consultancy Mark Brooks Education.

According to her, the partnerships have enhanced curriculum delivery and academic standards while improving students’ exposure to international opportunities. Karma also announced plans to expand the school’s presence across Nigeria and establish a tertiary institution that would provide students with a continuous educational pathway from foundational learning to higher education.

Representing Mark Brooks Education, Mrs. Ijeoma Uwakwe congratulated the school on its progress, saying she had worked with the institution for about a decade. Uwakwe said the school had obtained international accreditation to offer Cambridge examinations through the British Council. She added that the partnership could create pathways for students seeking admission to institutions in the United Kingdom.

The school’s Principal, Dr. Jeremiah Friday, said students recorded strong performances in external examinations, academic competitions and extracurricular activities during the 2025/2026 academic session. He urged graduating students to uphold integrity, discipline and excellence as they pursue their future careers.
