However, from the NPSE results, it came out clearly that candidates from the Private Schools have topped the list by getting the best result.
From the data show so far, the candidate with the highest mark is Pokawa Jason which scores 354 from Murraydeen Preparatory School and the second highest candidate is Taluba Easline which scores 352 from the International Primary School; Samura Mariama of Apex International Primary School came third position scoring 352; Bah Fatmata Binta of Daley Nursery Preparatory School came 4th position scoring 351 and many others.
