The 13th intake started on the 31 / 08 / 2009 and will end on the 25 / 09 / 2009. This intake had a few number of female students compared to previous ones. The repatriation exercise is going on and we experience a number of students’ dropouts. In addition, when we register students, a small number of candidates do not even attend. The reason may probably be that they repatriate soon after applying or that they have urgent matters that they prioritize. Well, the true reason might not be known! Recently the secondary school reopened. This also contributed to the dropouts as some students started missing classes in order to go to school. Due to these current financial constraints, most children contribute to the livelihood of their families. When they are not at school, they are doing some income generating activities.
The other major problem we might be facing is that of rains. These might disrupt classes by preventing people from attending classes as well as preventing the solar panels from charging batteries. In this part of the country, it is very dangerous to walk in the rain due to lightening and thunders that are often deadly. Most families opt being together when it is raining.
One major problem we will experience in the near future is that most people in the age of looking for money will be more concerned about money and items with which they will repatriate. Computer studies will not really be in their priorities. What will be experienced then is the number of young children, about 12-13, increasing in the application for studies. The new intake, 14th, will start on a Monday 28 / 09 / 2009 to end on Friday of the fourth week. The registration of that new intake is starting on the 17 / 09 / 2009, followed by a one-week application and two-day selection.
