A new term starts the first of September at WISDOM Christian School and with it come new faces.
We are sad to say goodbye to five of our teachers - Mirriam, Phenni, Mabel, Joseph, and Doma. They served the school well. We will miss their faces and their teachings.
But we are also saying hello to five new teachers.
- Terrence will teach 7th grade.
- Abednego (male) will teach 6th grade.
- Christine will teach 2nd grade.
- Kelvin will teach science in the secondary grades.
- Marvis (female) will teach the Business Studies and Communication Technology (includes computer) in the secondary grades.
We welcome all the new teachers and wish them well in their teaching assignments.
Zambia has had too many teachers for not enough jobs for several years. As a result, WCS has been able to hire teachers as a modest salary. This year, the government decided to try to reduce the class sizes in public schools (in the past, they have had as many as 80 students in a class). They hired 30,000 teachers so far this year!
They hired some wonderful, long-term WCS teachers! The government pays 2-3 times what WISDOM Christian school is able to pay at this time.
