School update:
There are
now 66 students (only 10 girls) on roll including 12 in Junior Secondary.
There are 7
TSC teachers plus 1 for PP 1 and 2. This
means that the teacher pupil ration is very low and explains the good exam
results. The 2023 Mean Score was 214 which is good for that region.
The school receives food from the government.
Water – the
borehole is yielding water for cooking, washing and irrigation but is still not
potable. During the long holidays the
fence was broken by local people who wanted to gain access to the water. There was considerable wastage of water as
the pump was left on and the water kept flowing. The HT agreed the fence will be mended as a
priority and the water usage regulated.
Drinking
water should be collected from the roofs and stored for drinking.
The goat
project to encourage students in school and attend regularly has been a
success. The HT wishes to continue it.
Projects for funding:
Continuation
of goat project.
Sports equipment.
Trip
Banda
Toilets
An Education Day to encourage families (
particularly girls) into school with
invited guests eg MP, Governor, GAWPT
