Eighteen
students and two teachers from Helsingoer Little School in Denmark are on a
three weeks trip in country as guest of Kuntaur Upper Basic School in Central
River Region North.
The
rationale of the visit is to learn, share teaching, techniques and
socio-cultural issues with each other.
The
visit is an annual event since the creation of the link in 1997, pioneered by
the link coordinator Kanimang Camara.
Events organized for this year’s visit include
joint classes; question and answers session on key thematic areas such as child
education, environment, religion, politics, agriculture and gender. They will
also visit Armitage senior secondary school in Jangjanbureh; participate in
inter- house athletic competitions; visit to families of Gambian friends to
learn local culture; visit the stone circles in Wassu and weekly market “Lumo”;
During
the welcome ceremony, the school’s acting principal Landing Badgie said the
annual visits have been significantly providing the enabling teaching and
learning environment to the students.
