Although the official start date for the school year is Monday 3rd of February, many schools have decided to get their P7 candidates earlier in class throughout January. Head Teachers agreed with parents to give extra learning support for one month as they will be facing challenging exams to pass to secondary education.
It is a bit of a disappointment to us, because January is a month we use to repair the institutional improved cook stoves (IICS) for free to all schools. You can see in the video below cooks are already lighting the IICS to prepare the lunch for the P7 candidates. We will have to stretch during the coming weekends to see how we can get the maintenance done, before all the children are back in class next month.
