The principal of Diaz Primary School, Bendos Garoeb, has implored parents to pro-actively participate in the affairs of schools regarding their children’s education and not only come to the school on the first day of the academic year.
He said it should be a duty for parents to occasionally come to their children’s school so that they are better informed about what is going on at school.
Garoeb made the remarks on Wednesday during the start of the 2016 academic year at Diaz Primary School, where he also applauded parents who turned up in large numbers by accompanying their children on their first day at school. Garoeb reminded the learners that the holiday is now over and that they should focus on their schoolwork and avoid being absent or arriving late at school. He also advised the parents to send their children to school earlier in the morning to avoid tardiness.
Regarding space to accommodate all eligible learners in the region, Garoeb – who is also the southern cluster principal – could not comment, saying it is too early to determine how many extra seats are needed, as many parents were still at various schools to secure a place for their children.
