DNO if you’re editing the story you should say so and not let the commentrators bash other for not cing what wasnt there…..thats where u story ended in the email
Flo
the entire text is never sent in the email. You are supposed to visit the site to read the whole story.
@ hmmmmmm thats not so, cuz when i opened the story from my email i got the story as they sent it…….DNO must do a better job in advising people that the story has been revised/edited……..i think i will unsubscribe n do like every1 else n go on the site if i feel like it and they will stop sending their foolishness into my inbox.
the Junior Secondary Program was a great program.
I think we need to consider bringing it back instead of forcing children who can’t even read to go to do all those subjects in secondary school.
bring back J.S.P. please, please, please
Good luck to all of the students sitting exams….
I support no political party, so please do not take my piece to be politics, but sympathy for some students.
This is great news for the kids to sit their exams to be able to continue their education – everyone must be given the opportunity to receive the best education.
However, I do hope that all the students are able to read and write properly to do their best.
It is so sad that we send students to secondary schools who can just about read and write (fact) This causes so much frustration for those students other advanced students, teachers, parents and the system.
Please, please, bring back the junior Secondary School Prorgamme, which had served so many students very well.
I feel sorry for those unfortunate students who must attend secondary school when they should be at JSP. We are failing some of our students and some of us develop later than others.
why back slide? less create transform a few high schools to technical schools, some to science and some to arts. we need to look ahead. isp maybe a good model to learn from, but not where we should regress too
Good Lord you guys could let us know the date of the exam wii papa…..SMH
Did’nt you read…it states clearly “The exams are scheduled for the 24 and 25 of May.” Anyway I wish all the students God’s guidance, protection and blessings.
wunna think i cant c light or cant read….that was added after i wrote my comment…..thanx DNO…..when i got my email that last line wasnt in the story (trying to make ppl look bad DNO)…..for those of us not on the rock, just wanted to know when so we could say a silent pray for the students….sheeeesh
you remind me of some students who RUSH their exams, turn their papers in and leave the examination room early. In the end, they are the ones who usually get poor results. The article here clearly states the exam will be on May 24 and 25!!
Have a wonderful dayFlo!!!
you can expect that Miss Flo didn’t read to the end. Maybe she is holding the writer to the expectation that such important information should have been made clear at the top of the story.
Who knows?
Maybe there is something to be said for knocking off the what, when, where, why and how early in the story.
Or maybe we just need to read with more care…
thnx kwame but as i said when i got de email with the story that last line wasnt there and must have been added after i wrote my comment….have a splendid night
