Having been appointed by the Ministry of Education and posted to one of the primary
schools in this area of study ten years ago, I have made several observations. The one
which has posed a great concern is the over enrolment of pupils in the Standard Seven
classes in the majority of the Primary Schools.
As compared to the rest of the classes, the class in reference leads in enrolment. The
amateur observations carried out indicate the majority of the pupils are repeaters. Few
are promoted from Standard Six raising the roll in Seven while few are also promoted
to Standard Eight. This implies that with time, consequently, piles of pupils
comprising of varied ages, academic abilities, and different socio-economic and
cultural backgrounds are realized. It is also likely, as it has been in the past, that those
performing badly in National Examination are returned to Standard Seven. Others
will either repeat in the same school for proper re-organization or seek admission
elsewhere. Thus, enrolment will be kept at maximum of plus or minus ten of the
highest number each year.
Causes of this enrolment among the few highlighted are yet to be investigated and
subjected to test ifthey will affect the pupil’s academic performance
