The Minister for Education, National Heritage, Culture and Arts, Ambassador Filipe Bole is calling on teachers, parents, school managements and students to prepare for the final term of this 2014 academic year.
“We are now in the final week of the Term 2 holidays and with few days left, everyone should start preparing for school next week. Parents should now ensure that stationary for their children are replenished and ready before the first day of school,” Minister Bole said.
“All school managements should now see the condition of their schools and its compound. Environment contributes to the learning of students and school committees should work around the clock now to ensure classrooms are ready and in good shape.
“A conducive environment should be created to maximise the potential within our students.”
“Students are encouraged to use their time wisely and be cautious in these few days remaining. Parents are advised to monitor their children and design programmes that will engage them in useful activities.
“For the students sitting for external examinations in Year 12 and 13, revise thoroughly and equip yourselves to throw questions at your teachers when you return to school in this final term.
Teachers are advised to make necessary arrangements to be in school on the first day of Term 3. Those, who travelled from rural and remote schools must ensure they report to school on the first day to attend the staff meeting.
“I am wishing everyone the very best as we prepare ourselves for the final term of the 2014 academic year,” the Minister said.
“The theme for the Ministry of Education for 2014 is “Embracing Excellence” and I am adamant we will all collaborate at home, school and in the wider community to aspire towards excellence in all that we do.”
