Welcoming guests, parents and students, school head Tamuhla Jorosi said yesterday that despite its successes LSSS has serious challenges. "First on the list is alcohol consumption by students. It is a small number of students who partake alcohol. It looks like alcohol consumption is fashionable. Students who partake alcohol are easily detected because a person who has taken one too many doesn't behave like a person coming from church," Jorosi said.
Another challenge faced by the school is the number of girls dropping out due to pregnancy. He said LSSS lost 30 students, most of them Form Fours. He disclosed that some were pregnant before they enrolled at his school. Jorosi decried that usually those who leave (to go and deliver) do not perform well.It is not only the pregnancy rate that is giving Jorosi and his staff sleepless nights. Jorosi also mentioned that theft is the order of the day at LSSS that the police are always there to help with investigations.
