Document achievements with SLIP, head teachers told

HEAD teachers in Central province have been told to document their achievements through the school learning improvement plan (SLIP) that was launched last Wednesday at Laloki High School.
Regional director education standard division and southern region Annemarie Kona told teachers and students that they were now the first priority for any donor funding.
“A total of K20 million is up for grabs and about 65% of donor funding is prioritised to all the SLIP schools in Central province especially the secondary sector come next year,” Mrs
Kona said.
She said SLIP programme had never been launched anywhere in the four regions before and it was the first of its kind in Central province.
The high schools that incorporated SLIP were Magarida, Kupiano, Ianu, Kwikila Secondary, Kemabolo, Mt Diamond Adventist, Laloki, Iarowari, Redscar, Mainohana Secondary, Tapini and Sogeri National High School.
“Central province has awaken from a deep sleep and now is the time to make things right by raising the bar again to where it had been some five years ago,” Mrs Kona said.
She said it was because of good leadership and determination that saw the success of the launching of the SLIP programme in all secondary schools.
“Congratulations to all the head teachers and board members of each SLIP school for a job well done,” she said.
High schools that could not make it because of the distance and expenses involved in transporting teachers and students were Magarida, Ianu, Mainohana Secondary and Tapini.
Hosts Laloki, Redscar and Kemabolo high schools and Kwikila secondary school entertained the guests with traditional dances, string bands and choirs.
