In January 2003 the new NARC Government
introduced free and compulsory primary education almost overnight.
So why do we still need your
money ?
While this was a very worthy and well received edict it has created problems.
3 million children have sought and been awarded places in the schools under the
new programme. The result has been enormous intakes in the already overcrowded
classrooms with class sizes swelling to anything between 300-400 students.
There
has been no increase in the number of teaching staff and with funding from parents
banned there is no money for the day to day running and management of the schools.
It has become apparent from the careful monitoring of ACTS scholars progress
that bright children can and do achieve good results in the Government schools
but for the less gifted the teacher/pupil ratio is a distinct disadvantage and
they become ‘lost in the crowd’.
As a result of this action, the ACTS Trustees
have taken the following steps:
• ACTS will continue to observe closely
the progress of their students in Government schools and transfer
any that are really not able to cope to schools
with smaller
class sizes where their chance of success will be enhanced.
• ACTS will await the eventual outcome of the new programme to see what,
if any,
levies are reintroduced which will have to be met by parents.
• ACTS will continue to assist Government schools as they strive to educate
so
many children by providing desks, textbooks and educational resources.
