Kambie
Bolong Youth Development Association recently held a symposium under the theme:
“Who are really responsible for the poor performance of students nowadays?”
The
symposium gave an opportunity to the invited speakers to speak about the real
issues surrounding the poor performance of students, and startling revelations
were made, along with recommendations to policy makers.
Ousman
Manko Touray, a senior education researcher at the Ministry of Education, Lamin
Excellent Manneh and Hammah Jaiteh were the guest speakers.
The
symposium was organized to discuss the poor performance of students in the
Gambia Basic Education Examination, GABECE, and the West African Senior
Secondary School Examination, WASSSE, in recent years and how to improve their
performance.
The
association commended the efforts of some of the youths of Gunjur in the
Diaspora for their support, without whose moral and financial support the event
would not have been a success.
“We
wish to applaud you for investing in the development of the young people and
the community as a whole,” ’the association stated.
“Events
of such are of immense importance to the society, and we are craving for the
participation of all Gunjurians to make our community a citadel of education
and moral values.”
