Correct poor start to school academic year

What you need to know:

  • The new school academic year has been met with a lot of confusion, especially around junior secondary school (JSS). Most schools have been without textbooks.
  • But worse is having in JSS newly promoted teachers from the primary section and recruits who are not quite sure of what they are supposed to be doing.
  • This is a crisis that was not entirely unexpected as the transition to the new Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) requires that teachers be trained in it to effectively handle the learners.
