All students of Science Shared Campus of Kotebe University of Education (KUE) who sat for Ethiopian School Leaving Certificate Examination (ESLCE) in 2021/ 2013 E.C. have scored marvelous results. Out of the 78 students who took the exams, 42 have scored 600 and above while the remaining 36 have got results which range between 529 and 600. This batch’s result is uniquely impressive as the highest scorer, Alazar Teka Gemechu with 659 points out of 700, of the year is from KUE’s Science Shared Campus. The University thus proudly congratulates the brilliant scientists- and engineers-to-be and their parents on the outshining success.
The highest score = 659 (wow) 
> 600 = 42
529 – 599 = 36
< 529 = 0
It is apparent that the project was initially funded and launched by STEM power – Ethiopia though it was handed over to the University eventually. The then KMU decided to own the project as the initiator had a shortage of budget to run it. The President then took the initiative to own and run the project, and since then he has been striving to make it fruitful.
The founding President of the then KMU, and now KUE, Honourable Dr. Berhanemeskel Tena, and the management members of the University had set up Science Shared Campus with the intention of nurturing the young talented generation from the grassroots level to help them excel at their inborn gifts and shape them towards what they aspire to be. The President has accentuated that he has had confidence from the very beginning that these children could be well monitored and supported to become successful in ESLCE, and he also believes that they would become the scientists and engineers who would change the nation and the world at large. It was with this goal in mind that the Institute (i.e. Science Shared Campus) was established, the President added. It was also said that the University continues to strengthen and make sure the sustainability of the program that it started about six years ago.
The President hopes that this school of tomorrow’s scientists and engineers would be more equipped than ever, and it continues to be supported with all possible services and assets. It has also been anticipated that if the Government of Ethiopia (MoE) gives due attention to these brilliant and promising students, and organizes a way to place them together with a campus at a university. It is believed that, if this is to happen, these students would continue excelling and shining together.
It is also unforgettable that, of the 2020/21 batch, 58 had scored 4.00 and the rest had got 3.8 in their ESLCE. Incredibly, almost all of them have won scholarships and joined the University of Technology in India.
