Rabat - Over 44 percent of total candidates for the baccalaureate exams in Morocco were happy to learn that they passed the national exams.
But the happiest student was undoubtedly Houda E-naibi, a student in Casablanca who received the highest score in the country, obtaining 19.54 out of 20.
Time froze for Houda E-naibi and her mother, who were fixed in front of the computer screen, waiting for the final verdict on her score. After a few hours of anxiety and worrying, Houda received the best news in her life, late Tuesday night. She emerged as the highest scorer, receiving 19.54 out of 20.
Houda’s family and teachers were delighted to see Houda’s marks. However, they were not surprised, because she is an excellent student.
“Houda’s mark did not surprise me at all because she is a smart, hardworking student, and she has always delighted me with her marks in the high school,’’ said Houda’s teacher, talking to 2M TV.
“I am happy that my daughter received the highest mark in Morocco. I am very proud of her. I wish her the best of luck in her future,” said her mother.
Houda E-naibi is a student from a single-parent home in Casablanca. She grew up without a father; only her mother was there to protect her and provide the resources necessary to send her to school. Houda’s mother and all Moroccans are very proud of her.
