A problem is looming at this school
Dear Editor,
I would like to bring to the attention of the Ministry of Education this situation at Essequibo Islands Secondary School.
I observed that there are problems with the teaching there, especially for the Third form students. Mathematics is the most important subject amongst others but unfortunately the school does not have a good teacher. The one in place doesn’t teach the students.
For the past month or more he has not been teaching the class. How will the students prepare for exams when they haven’t been taught? The students have to go to other teachers after school to complete their project and sometimes they have no knowledge of those types of mathematics. Who will the students turn to for help? The rule is if they fail Maths they don’t have a chance to write CXC. How unfair. Those students need help, they need a good teacher.
My second concern is about superstitious beliefs. I would like to know since when that is important and has become part of the education programme? As far as I know, such beliefs border on the funny. They are jokes to be precise. How will that be beneficial for a child getting a job? They have projects pertaining to superstitious belief. Name the story, identify the writer and give documentary. This assignment came from the Ministry of Education.
My last concern is about the principal. The present principal is about to resign and the next person in line is said to be the same Maths teacher. Now if he cannot teach the students how will he be capable of taking care of the school?
I’m pleading with the Minister of Education to look into this matter and to do something about it. Sincerely,
Concerned citizen
