A student’s reflection on accreditation

By Yesu

I am a student in Kakuma Refugee Camp, part of cohort 4, and I'm pursuing the Amala Global Secondary Diploma programme. I was delighted to see the accreditation of Amala Education by the Council of International Schools (CIS) and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC)!

What does this accreditation mean for us students in Kakuma?

This accreditation is a huge milestone for us students in Kakuma Refugee Camp. It signifies that the education we receive at Amala is of the highest quality and meets international standards. With accreditation from reputable organisations like CIS and NEASC, we can be confident that what we have studied holds value not only locally but also globally. This opens up a world of opportunities for us as we pursue higher education or enter the workforce.

How does this accreditation benefit the entire community?

The accreditation of Amala Education by CIS and NEASC also benefits the entire community of Kakuma. Accreditation will attract more resources, funding, and support from organisations and individuals who understand the importance of education in empowering refugees. With a strong educational foundation, the community can thrive and create a better future for generations to come.

What role did the facilitators and staff play in this achievement?

The facilitators and staff at Amala have been instrumental in helping us reach this milestone. Their dedication, passion, and expertise have guided us through our academic journey and prepared us for success. With their support, we have been able to excel in our studies, overcome challenges, and dream big for the future. Their commitment to our education has made all the difference and has set us on a path towards a brighter tomorrow.

In conclusion, what does this accreditation mean for me personally?

As a graduate of the Amala Global Secondary Diploma programme, the accreditation by CIS and NEASC holds a special significance for me. It validates all the hard work, dedication, and perseverance I have put into my studies. It gives me confidence in the value of my education and opens doors to new opportunities and possibilities. I am excited to see where this accreditation will take me and how it will shape my future endeavours.

In conclusion, I am filled with gratitude and pride as I reflect on this momentous achievement. The accreditation of Amala by CIS and NEASC is not just a recognition of our academic excellence but a testament to the resilience, determination, and hope that define us as students in Kakuma Refugee Camp. Together, we can overcome any obstacle and reach new heights of success. Thank you to everyone who has supported us on this journey. The best is yet to come!
