Congratulations to the first graduates from Platoni Academi, especially those who scored 20/20 - it's a really solid result. Bishop Ignatios is probably as proud as a father, you can see that this school is not only about lessons, but also about real care. I wonder how many of them will stay in Madagascar and what they will do next.

Congratulations to the first graduates! 20/20 is a real result, it’s clear that the children tried. I wonder how many of them will then remain to teach at their school in Madagascar.

Joanna Zielińska

Congratulations to the graduates, especially those from 20/20 - it sounds like a real reward for hard work. Bishop Ignatios seems like he treats them like his own children, not just students. I wonder if after such a start, any of them will return to school as a teacher, as you mentioned.

Надежда Семёнова

Congratulations to the graduates, especially those who pulled out 20/20 - it's almost a miracle in a place like this. It is clear that Bishop Ignatius really treats them like a father, and not just as disciples. I wonder how many of them will later return to school as teachers, as the girls write.

Ксения Тарасова

Congratulations to the first graduates, especially those who pulled out 20/20 - this is rare even in our ordinary schools. It is clear that Bishop Ignatius really treats them like a father, as all the girls write. I wonder if among them there will be future teachers for the same school in Madagascar.

Δημήτρης Αθανασίου

Well done to the guys who got 20/20, that's a rare thing. It seems that Metropolitan Ignatius sees them as his own children, not just students. I also wonder how many of them will later become teachers at the same school.

Сергей Белов

I agree, 20/20 in such conditions is really rare; it’s clear that the children tried their best. I wonder, Nadezhda, how do you know about this school? Have you been there or are you just following the news from Madagascar?

Валентина Васильева

Congratulations to the graduates, especially those who pulled 20/20 - that's truly rare. It is clear that Bishop Ignatius treats them like a father, as everyone writes. I wonder how many of them will later return as teachers to this school in Madagascar.

Thanks for this story. Achieving 20/20 is really rare in Madagascar, the kids did a great job. It is interesting to see how many of them will return to Metropolitan Ignatius as teachers in the same school.

Сергей Петров

Congratulations guys on 20/20, it's really rare in these conditions. It is clear that Bishop Ignatius is truly invested, like a father. I wonder how many of them will later return as teachers to the same school.

Dorota Wiśniewska

Congratulations too, especially to those from 20/20 - it must be a great joy for Bishop Ignatios. I wonder if among the graduates there are those who want to study theology or medicine, because both things are very lacking in Madagascar. Where do you follow this school from?

Κατερίνα Λαμπροπούλου

I agree, 20/20 doesn't come easily. I liked that Metropolitan Ignatius saw them as a family, it can be seen from the photos. Really, how many years has this school been operating in Madagascar now?

Γιώργος Λαμπρόπουλος

I agree Katerina, 20/20 requires a lot of reading and persistence. From what I've read it's been running since 2012, so around 12 years now. The photos do show that the children see him as a father figure.

Jan Szymański

Yes, congratulations to those from 20/20 are well deserved. I wonder what they will choose next - medicine would definitely be useful in Madagascar. And I follow the school through a friend from the parish in Antananarivo, who sometimes sends photos.

Agnieszka Kaczmarek

Yes, congratulations to those from 20/20 who are absolutely spot on. Medicine would indeed be very much needed there, especially since there is a shortage of doctors in many regions in Madagascar. And your friend from the parish in Antananarivo, didn't she ever mention what everyday learning in French and Malagasy is like there?

Ηλίας Μακρής

Yes George, 20/20 doesn't fall from the sky, it really takes persistence. I also saw that the school has been working since 2012 and it is impressive how quickly it produces such graduates. However, in the photos it is clear that the children respect him as a father, not just as a manager.

Δημήτρης Αθανασίου

I agree Elias, the stubbornness can be seen from their faces. I was impressed that since the school started in 2012, it is already producing graduates with 20/20 - it shows serious work. Do you know if they have a program for children who are falling behind?
