The “my first day at school” visits affords officials the opportunity to welcome fresh entrants of primary and kindergarten one to school and encourage them to attend school regularly and strive to learn hard.

Hon.

He said the standard of education has fallen a bit in the district and it behoves on the teachers to strive  hard to help raise the fallen standards.

Hon. Anaba advised the pupils to take their education seriously and learn hard and refrains from the habit of going out in the night to watch television whilst the older ones also spend time attending wake-keepings and records nights.

Touching on the deadly Ebola disease which has shown its ugly face in some West-African States and the spread of cholera diseases in the country, Hon. Anaba said reports have shown that; Ebola is spread through the consumption of bush meats such as monkeys, bats and other species of bush meats, so they should advise their parents on the consumption of bush meats and hinted that cholera is derived from insanitary  conditions and advised the pupils to be sanitary conscious in their environments so as to avoid the contracting of cholera in their communities and always wash their hands after every activity which requires the use of the hand.

                                                     

The outgoing Director of Education attending to a Pupil

The outgoing District Director of Education lamented on how some pupils waste much of their time in the night playing instead of attending to their home -work  given at school and also advised the teachers to be regular at school and refrain from absenteeism. She said the best would be derived from the teachers if they give off their best and teach the children well, as that would go a long way to raise the fallen standard of education in the District.

Madam Mary - Grace Bonye advised the pupils to respect their teachers and take whatever they teach them seriously since that would enable them have a brighter future.
