Commissioning

He remarked that, the newly constructed block will salvage the school from academic pressure caused by the huge student population.
He explained that, the steady growth of the student population impacted heavily on the limited number of class rooms “and so we had to move some students to study under trees. There were times we had to rotate them.”
The headmaster noted that, the situation worsens anytime there was rain.
Amidst excitement, he said following the commissioning, students will no longer study under trees.
“We now have a safe and dignified environment for education”.
