C.V. Nunes Primary in chaos
Dear Editor,
Only a few months ago C.V. Nunes Primary, due to hard work and co-operation of the teachers, parents and the previous head-master, brought much pride to all Essequibians and also the department of education of Region Two. Radio, television and our newspapers beamed their spotlight on the country’s top students and also the student with fifth position in the country coming out from C.V. Nunes Primary. We all felt so proud of this school which did exceptionally well.
But from all indications, this great school is quickly falling from its lofty standard. Retrogression now seems the order of the day.
This term [Christmas term] C.V. Nunes is having a different style of leadership. Where there was much hope, we now have fear and confusion. There is lots of rearranging [or rather disarranging] of the old school system. For example, the placing of teachers at pre- assessment classes which once brought this school its glory.
It is clear that there is lack of co-operation, which has led to a massive collapse of law, order and good governing. It is also having a negative effect on pupils of this once great school, especially Grade Four, which is an assessment class and Grade Five, a pre-assessment class. This class is preparing for their last assessment, which determines a good school for their future.
On several occasions, classes within these grades are abandoned and no work done for the day. Grade Four will be writing assessment at the end of the school year; already it has been a broken term. At present two teachers are teaching 140 pupils. These children may be forced to write their end of term test on work they did not do or complete.
In Grades 4, 5, and 6 are children who do have the ability to once again make this school and Region Two proud.
As a concerned teacher and parent, I am pleading with the R.E.O. or the Ministry of Education out of desperation to investigate and come up with a solution to this chaotic situation at C.V. Nunes Primary.
Save our school, save our children, help us maintain our pride.
