and the importance of education. She said they should inculcate the habit of
keeping themselves neat at all times by taking their baths at least twice

their hands washed before and after meals. She also told them to influence
their peers who are not schooling to come to school.

children, who told the team that they walk long distance to school and they
become quite tired on reaching school and hitherto affects them during lessons.
The headmaster of Attabui D.A primary school briefed the team that the school
lack adequate classrooms and that resulted in some of the students to have
lessons under trees. Meanwhile, the GETFUND project has been completed and yet

Interestingly at New Asuoyaa the team
was briefed by the Head teacher of the Roman Catholic Primary School that the
school is faced with some challenges. He said both teachers and pupils live
some distance from the school and it has been having a serious telling effect
on academic work as far as attendance and punctuality is concerned. He said he
had organized transport that brings both teachers and pupils to and from the
school. He complained to the team that one of the classrooms is currently being
use as a church for the community even during schools hours. However, if such
situation arises, the entire school had to join them until the church session
is over.
