Boka Primary School is now designated a regional hub for examinations. This means that students from far away have to find a way to stay in Boka during the exam period. The funding TAS provided enabled the school to offer accommodation in their dormitories and food throughout the week thus ensuring that exam candidates got the best chance to achieve good grades.The HT wrote to thank us as follows:
