As the final week of school for term two comes to a close, the Minister for Education Filipe Bole is reminding teachers of good practices they must take heed of.
“Leave behind clean and well secured classrooms, laboratories, workshops and compound as you leave for the two weeks holidays. Head Teachers and Principals must leave contact addresses with their education district offices and take time to pay visits to your respective schools during the holidays,” Mr Bole said.
Teachers, who have been assigned the responsibility to look after sports teams and other extra – curricular activities, have also been reminded to closely monitor students and ensure their safety is priority.
“There will be sports activities beginning this weekend for secondary schools and I am reminding you teachers to make it an enjoyable experience for the students and their parents,” Mr Bole said.
“Monitor your students well and have a roll call before and after engaging in organized activities. Students safety and security must be your priority. Ensure students reach their homes before dark.”
Mr Bole also cautioned teachers of their behavior while on school holidays.
“Teachers, while you enjoy your two weeks break, be reminded that you remain teachers during the holidays so behave appropriately. Plan your movements well so you are able to report back to school on time which is the second day of September,” the minister said.
