So 12 teachers are leaving my school (that was more than half of the teachers)....we received two more teachers so now there is a grand total of 12 teachers for 700 students. Which is still good (sadly) for Tanzanian standards but this abrupt change is because the teachers are going to Universities to get degrees/masters. I personally think the scheduling for schools is a problem. Secondary schools start Jan and end in December however Advanced Level schools start in March/April and then Universities start in September. Forget the fact that now there are 4 months of secondary school left, just imagine you finish High School in America and then have to wait around for 4 months before you can go to A levels and then after finishing A levels you have to wait around for another 4 months before going to University......and remember there are no "summer jobs" or "internships" in Tanzania. ie My neighbor's daugther has been passing the time cleaning the house and cooking for the family. Alas. Now I will be teaching 24 periods instead of my 18 but I still have Fridays free because I was AGAIN incharge of making the new schedule. The other teachers wanted to make me Academic Headmaster because of my organization/admin skills but I said no.
And in other news. We started with 41 volunteers in my training group. Now we are down to 33. **tear** |
