The covid 19 which was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization has presented many challenges to different sectors of all economies worldwide. The education institutions not being an exception, many of our children were to sit home and count 2020 a dead year due to the closure of all education institutions. As Another Hope Children’s Home, we thought it wise to intervene by contacting qualified teachers from the children’s schools to make sure our children don’t remain redundant for the next 10 months. Through your support we managed to employ teachers who handled 12 (of which 7 were male) kindergarten pupils and 6 (of which 5 were male) vocational students.
The kindergarten pupils were taught throughout the year, they were assessed and made ready for interviews to join the next class. Vocational students on the other hand covered much of their syllabus and by the time they commenced, they were left with little to cover putting them to an advantage compared to their counter parts. This has given them ample time to prepare for their final National examinations scheduled to take place in March 2020
Achievement
The beneficiary is a vocational student at Cogswell School of Beauty Art and Design offering Catering and Hotel Management. He says the out break of the pandemic and closure of education institutions meant an extension in the time of being in school for another year and the time of graduating as well. He says this was a terrible feeling until he was introduced to the arrangement made by Another Hope Children’s Ministries of continuing with the studies even during the closure of institutions. This gave me and my course mates a chance to cover all that we had to cover at school and we handled the course units we had not yet handled earlier at school like Swahili language and French says the beneficiary. When the government announced the re-opening of the schools for candidates and finalists, we were not on pressure because we had already studied much. We engaged in more practical work as well and now I am preparing for my final exams. I have ample time to revise and I am hoping for the best out of the final exams. I am looking forward to becoming a certified chef. Thank you so
