HUMANITIES WEEK JOURNEY 2

Attention all parents! It’s time to get serious about your kids’ education.

Recent legal and education experts have called on the government to amend the Education Act 1996 and make schooling compulsory up to Form Five. The proposed change would reduce dropout rates, and curb child marriages and child labour – three issues that have been increasingly worrying the nation.

Lo and behold!

We’ve got some exciting news to share with you! Our students actually completed a survey and interview project about the importance of education. They worked really hard to collect data from more than 30 people through Google Forms and record an interview with an adult about the topic. What made us, educators even prouder was the fact that they did this all on their own with only 3 days of preparation. It is good to see that they finally understood that education makes a lot of difference in a person’s life. One of the interviewees, who was a lawyer mentioned how she could see that having knowledge really helped her to see the world from rose-coloured lenses. We, teachers, believed that it was a wake-up call for everyone to finally take their studies seriously. The Green Stags took the lead by a landslide, but we’re proud of all our students for their commitment to education.

It’s amazing to see first-hand the power of education and how it can shape our future.

Above and beyond, we are Wesleyans!
