Time goes so fast, it’s already three months since schools closed abruptly because of the Covid-19 pandemic. It is an experience that will never be forgotten. The education sector has been hit hard and this is very heartbreaking for the students especially those who were preparing for their exams. The eighth grade students were looking forward to joining high school next year but the hope is dying slowly by slowly. After the government announced the extension of lockdowns their hearts swell, the hopes ceased and they are now struggling to cope with the situation. The same happened to our high school students, they are always excited when they get to the end of their high school. They can’t just imagine spending another two semesters in school but all in all they are coping with the situation.
The covid-19 has hit us as a school as well. It has been hard to share with the world about our new classroom building. We got stuck on the way but we thank those who have given towards the building. We all believe that all students have a right to have a conducive learning environment and that is exactly what we are doing. We have worked tirelessly to finish one side of the block and we have been able to roof. We have are now working on the plastering, fixing the windows and doors, floor tiles and painting. After this we will have at least some students who will be able to use these classes when we reopen the schools.
The other remaining part has a lot of work, we need to raise the columns and do the walling.
