Central Islamic School has ‘the best results in the country’


Every year, education specialists Gradesmatch release a ‘top 10 table’ of the best-performing schools in South Africa, based on their distinctions-per-learner ratio. Assessing schools with a minimum of 20 matriculants, the data shows that the bar was set particularly high in Gauteng.


‘Thesouthafrican.com’ says this year, the Central Islamic School in Laudium takes the top spot, averaging 3.5 distinctions per learner with Tshwane Muslim School coming out in 8th position with an average of 2,612 distinctions per learner.


Deputy Principal of Central Islamic School, MA Tajbhai told Laudium Today, “We start by thanking Allah (SWT) for all his bounties and blessings upon us. Our heartfelt congratulations to our learners on the excellent results. Ma-ShaAllah!”


“In spite of the difficult and disruptive 2020 academic year due to the closing of school and the challenges of online learning, our learners have done us proud.”


“Jazakallah to the Board of Governors, our outgoing principal Mr Yusuf Dadabhay and all the educators from the foundation phase through to the FET phase for being part of the 2020 group of learners. A special thanks to our grade 12 educators for your hard work and commitment. May the Almighty reward you abundantly. Jazakallah to the parents of the 2020 learners for the on-going support.”


“We also want to extend our congratulations to the learners of our neighbouring schools for your achievements. May the Almighty grant all our youth success, courage and endurance for all future endeavours, Ameen.”


Remember: “It is your attitude and not your aptitude that will determine your altitude.”
