What has been done differently this time around?

The students and the teachers are expected to go on school vacation for about two weeks.  During term one, a lot of things went on all at the same time in our schools over and above the traditional teaching and learning as could be expected: accounting for the last year’s results, athletics competitions etc.

Talking about Athletics competitions it should be noted that a lot of academic days were used for various athletics competitions. Despite the fact that term one is very short; sporting activities had a share of the week days which could otherwise be used for teaching and learning for our students. Our leaders across the education spectrum authorised mid-week sporting activities.  Although, in the mist of all this, we are still mourning dismal academic results (2016), nobody did not see anything wrong with that.
