The circuit manager, Eunice Ntsanwisi, told the Herald that, this is all God’s grace and work.
“I joined the circuit in 2022 and I had the task of taking the circuit from underperforming at 54%. “I did not expect the results to be as good in the very short period of time. “We have implemented various strategies, reshuffling of teachers by allocating them to teach a subject based on their performance and abilities,” Ntsanwisi explained. The circuit manager added that she has been monitoring, motivating, rewarding, and supporting the schools and teachers.
