“It is a mater of how we can effectively use thee resources and support for sustained academic competence among our children. We have creative school heads and teachers, We should go beyond structural beautification and focus more on what’s happening inside the classroom. With strong interpersonal relations among teachers and administrators we cannot fail” Samson said.
