Challenges

  • ‘A’ Level textbooks are in a ratio of 1 textbook to 4 students, which does not favour personal research and constant revision.
  • ‘O’ Level textbooks are very old, with some pages missing, except for about 583 textbooks brought in by the African Development Bank in 2011.
  • We, as a department, are challenged to reduce to zero the number of failures and weak passes in both ‘O’ and ‘A’ Levels.
  • A mathematics laboratory is needed to enable mathematics to be taught as a practical subject.
