The Ekiti State University Staff School has recorded an outstanding 100 per cent pass rate in the 2026 Ekiti State Ministry of Education Common Entrance Examination, with all 21 pupils who participated in the examination successfully.

According to a performance report submitted by the Head Teacher of the School, Mrs O.F. Ogunsina, the 21 candidates, comprising 13 males and eight females, recorded scores ranging from 338 to 448 out of 500, with an overall mean score of approximately 402 marks (80.8 per cent).

The report showed that 13 pupils (61.9 per cent) scored 400 marks and above, while eight pupils (38.1 per cent) scored 420 marks and above. Three pupils also attained scores of 440 marks and above, while the school recorded 19 distinctions and two credit passes.

The impressive performance was attributed to the dedication of the teachers, effective preparation, continuous assessment and revision, parental support, a conducive learning environment and the hard work of the pupils.

Reacting to the development, the Vice-Chancellor of Ekiti State University, Professor Joseph Babatola Ayodele, commended the Head Teacher, teachers, parents and pupils of the Staff School for the impressive performance, describing the result as a reflection of the commitment to academic excellence within the University community.

Professor Ayodele commended the Governor of Ekiti State, His Excellency Mr Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji, for his administration's continued commitment to strengthening education and creating an enabling environment for quality learning across the State.

He said the achievement was particularly encouraging because it demonstrated that the Staff School was providing pupils with a solid academic foundation and preparing them adequately for future educational challenges.

The Vice-Chancellor also encouraged members of staff who have children within the primary/first-school education age bracket to consider patronising the EKSU Staff School, stressing that the institution's commitment to excellence should extend to every aspect of the University community.

He said, “This result is a source of pride to the University. I commend the teachers for their dedication, the parents for their support and, most importantly, the pupils for their hard work. A 100 per cent pass rate, with such a remarkable number of distinctions, is an indication of the quality of teaching and learning taking place in our Staff School.”

The Vice-Chancellor further urged the School's management and teachers to sustain the standard and continuously seek ways to improve upon the achievement.

He reiterated the management's commitment to creating an enabling environment for academic excellence at all levels, noting that the foundation of quality education must be strengthened from the earliest stages of a child's educational journey.
