Introductions
GMA
introduced Lucy. She said that TAS would
be winding down over the course of the next 18 months but that GAWPT would be
taking an interest in schools as part of their outreach programme.
School
update.
The school
is reviving after a serious management failure caused it to close for a year in
2021. It started up again in 2022 with a
new Form 1.
Form 2 now has 37 students and Form 1 is currently
enrolling with around 40 expected.
There are 5
TSC teachers and 2 BOM teachers who can
now cover the whole curriculum except for geography.
There are 6
classrooms, one science lab, boys and girls dormitories.
Projects
for funding
Funding is
in place for a library, a dining hall and a trip. These projects will be implemented when it is
clear that the school is thriving again.
A trip will be arranged when the Form 1 students have enrolled.
Post
meeting note
GMA is
concerned that the teachers are not utilizing their time well in the current
situation with only 2 classes instead of 4.
It would be helpful to split the classes into 2 and teach on a rota
basis so teachers taught groups of
around 20 4 times a day instead of teaching 40 children only twice.
SK will be
asked to suggest this!
