A Southern Sudan refugee who sat for this year’s Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) at Ndima Kanini Academy in Mathira, Nyeri scored 408 marks.
Aleer Garang Agany Garang left the war torn country and through parents, settled in Karatina, Mathira East in Nyeri County.
He was enrolled at the privately run academy in 2014 pre-primary school reaching the primary education crescendo this year.
He has been among the top student in the school since then joining the institution and the culmination saw him become among the top performers, not only in the area but across the country.
During the interview yesterday, the young man said he still remembers the health problems in his country which has prompted him to decide to pursue the neurosurgeon profession.
Garang wishes to join Alliance Boys High School and later join University for medicine studies with the hope of returning back to his native country where his dream is to attend to patients and also lecturer of other neurosurgeons students.
“I remember how I left behind many suffering due to lack of medication. The doctors there are very few due to the persistent war. No man is Limited,” he said.
Garang was among the 12 pupils among the 130 candidates at the Academy who scored over 400 marks where three top pupils at the school were also Sudanese.
