The MCE stated that already, he has provided most of the schools with dual desks.
He assured that next week, he will provide about 500 desks to the Junior High schools, adding that he has urged the Regional Education Director to get the names of the schools that do not have desks.

Alhaji Umar Bodinga said he questioned the leaders about their challenge and they mentioned they needed an enabling environment to operate.
He said some of the students were packed in a classroom and called on the Educational Directorate to help address the challenge.
He said he motivated the teachers to do more to help the students to perform better.
In addition , he said he initiated an award scheme to motivate students to perform better in the public schools, adding that after that, about 15 students started having single numbers.
