Pangia High students give up holidays for remedial work

STAFF and students of Pangia High School in the Southern Highlands province will forfeit their first term holidays to do remedial school work.
School principal Paul Kopi Irepo told The National yesterday by satellite phone from Pangia that permission had been granted by the provincial education adviser Robert Rami for the school to go ahead with the programme.
Mr Irepo said the school’s 241 Grade 10 students and eight teachers would forfeit their coming school holidays that falls on the Easter weekend to do remedial work.
Mr Irepo said the one-week intensive revision exercise was to make up for some of the Grade 9 lessons the current Grade 10s missed out last year.
This happened when the classes were disrupted and the school operated on an ad hoc basis due to the inconsistent supply of food rations and basic materials from the provincial government under the free education programme.
Several other schools in the province also had their programmes and lessons disrupted when materials and food rations failed to reach them on time while Grades 10 and 12 students province wide fared poorly at the end of last year.
