Great news for students at the five schools in Ward 14 of Murewa District – Pakati Primary and Secondary, Chanetsa Primary and Secondary, plus Mapanga Primary schools – all five have reported that their exam class students have returned. Numbers are down, but it is expected more will attend once the schools fully re-open next week on 22nd March.
Below we bring the latest news from the schools, and recent photos where they have been provided. Thanks to all those who sent in photos and information.
Pakati Primary school reports their Grade 7 students are now back in school, and Head Teacher Mr Mahachi is actively encouraging them to be covid-safe at all times.
Local community support is always welcome, and Pakati Primary is fortunate in that respect.
Pakati Secondary school reports that three quarters of their Form 4 Learners have returned this week, certainly expecting more to come next week. I am awaiting further information ftom them.
Mapanga Primary school is having some problems with electricity supply right now, but Head Teacher Mrs Maenzanise reports 39 learners have been attending since Monday.
