Teachers in Yei River County of Central Equatoria State appeal to parents to send their children to school as learning institutions have reopened.
Radio Easter quoted Latiyu Emmanuel Noel, First Deputy Director for Administration in Yei Day Secondary School telling parents that the children have been with them throughout the festive season.
“As the schools reopen, let the parents send their children back to school, the children have been with them throughout the festive season, they protected them so let them send the children back to school as they resumed on Monday and those who already reopened, let them send children to school to concentrate on their learning and the little money they have they should not spend rather to support the school so that they pay development money for the smooth operation of the school”, he stresses.
Latiyu advises parents to inform their children concerning the preventive measures of covid-19 because it is real.
“Amidst covid-19 pandemic, let the parents inform children that covid-19 is real and they need to take the measures seriously like hand washing, wearing mask and no hand shaking and etc. so that we can minimise the dangers of covid-19, and we shouldn’t joke. As teachers, there are many challenges facing teachers mostly the money has lost value and sometimes there is delay in payment which is making some of the teachers to leave”, he complains.
He urges the government to look into these issues so the process of learning is not interfered with.
The speaker was giving his message to radio Easter at Yei Day Secondary School of Central Equatoria State.
