Lack Of Teachers Hit Gambia High School
By Saikou Ceesay
Students at The Gambia High School on Friday 2nd November expressed dissatisfaction over what they described as the failure of their school authorities to provide them with enough teachers.
The distraught students lamented that the shortage of teachers at the school will affect their performance in school.
Foroyaa then contacted the principal of the school, Mr. Lamin Jaiteh, who said the situation is serious, but they are trying to address the problem. He said that last year alone seven of the school’s qualified Gambian teachers left due to the lack of incentives. Mr. Jaiteh admitted that some students have not been attending mathematics, physics and geography classes since the beginning of the term; that they have been conducting tutorial, peer group and Saturday classes for students so as to enable them to recover what they are missing. Principal Jaiteh further explained that they have contacted the students at the university to help them in the teaching on part time basis. He called on the Department of Education to intervene and address the lack of incentives for teachers.
