Suwado Jammeh has truly distinguished herself as one of the brightest young minds in Gambia. This year, she achieved a remarkable feat by earning an A1 in every subject in the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE). A closer look at her academic records from Grade 7 through Grade 12 reveals that the 19-year-old has been a consistent standout, earning her the nickname “the Messi” of Gambian secondary education.

In 2021, Suwado demonstrated her academic prowess by excelling in the Gambia Basic Education Certificate Examination, where she received an A in all core subjects. Her exceptional performance earned her a certificate of excellence and a cash award from Trust Bank Ltd. Additionally, she was recognized by the West African Examinations Council and her school, Gambia Methodist Academy, for having the best results in the entire country.

Even before sitting for her final WASSCE, Suwado took on the challenge of the private exam in seven subjects, earning A1s across the board. In her final WASSCE, she set a new benchmark with the best results seen in recent years.

But Suwado’s talents extend beyond the classroom. She was also an accomplished athlete, served as head girl, and was an active participant in her school’s drama and STEM clubs. With dreams of becoming a medical doctor, Suwado Jammeh’s future is as bright as her remarkable past.
