[Title: The selection test for Exetat finalists organized by the Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi Foundation]
Introduction:
As part of the 5th edition of the Excellentia Scholarship, the First Lady of the Republic, Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi, personally went to the University of Kinshasa site to attend the section test intended for finalists who obtained at least 85 % at Exetat. Organized by the Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi Foundation, this test aims to select candidates eligible for the Excellentia scholarship, which offers full support for university studies for 5 years. In this article, we will return to this event and the importance of this initiative for the development of education in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
A rigorous selection test:
The selection test, which took place in the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Kinshasa, consisted of 100 questions that the finalists had to answer. Of the 254 eligible candidates from the Ministry of Primary, Secondary and Technical Education, 234 took the test. To be selected, you had to obtain a score of at least 70%. This ensures that only the highest performing students will benefit from the Excellentia Scholarship and thus have the opportunity to continue their university studies in the Democratic Republic of Congo or abroad.
Encouragement from the First Lady:
As usual, First Lady Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi addressed words of encouragement to the finalists from different regions of the country. She urged them to do their best and seize this opportunity to excel. The First Lady underlined the importance of education for the development of the Democratic Republic of Congo and expressed her pride at seeing young talents emerging thanks to this initiative.
The impact of the Excellentia Scholarship:
The Excellentia Scholarship, set up by the Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi Foundation, is a real opportunity for the Exetat finalists. It offers them the opportunity to continue their university studies in the best conditions and to develop their potential. By supporting these young talents, the Foundation contributes to the construction of a competent Congolese elite committed to the development of their country. To date, the Excellentia Program already has 241 scholarship holders, 82 of whom are studying at foreign universities.
Conclusion:
The selection test for Exetat finalists organized by the Denise Nyakeru Tshisekedi Foundation represents a crucial step in the selection of beneficiaries of the Excellentia Scholarship. This initiative allows the most deserving students to access quality higher education opportunities in the Democratic Republic of Congo or abroad. Thanks to this scholarship, the Foundation contributes to the emergence of a talented and committed young generation, who can play a key role in the future development of the country.
