In Their Own Words . . .
| On the new building: | “The new building is very good. The old one had no walls between classes so the other classes easily distracted the students. When I taught, it was difficult for the students to understand. Now, it is easy for the students to hear and concentrate.”
|
| On the difficulties of teaching: | “Some children are sent to school by their parents at too early of an age to learn properly. When the children are too young, we still have to take them or they might never get an education.”
|
| On the importance of education: | “I studied until the end of secondary school. It is very important that my students graduate from high school because then they won’t be ignorant.” |
