How Gwen Liz Manages
posted (October 4, 2016)
Generally high schools like Gwen Liz had better turnout of teachers and students. Yesterday, we asked the Chairman of Gwen Liz how they manage with fewer students and teachers:...

Roosevelt Blades, Chairman, Gwen Liz
"Students shows up at school, our responsibility is to ensure that we have the necessary mechanisms in place to look after them and that is all that we are doing."

Jules Vasquez, 7News
"So how are you all entertaining or engaging the students who are here? Are they involved in productive learning?"

Roosevelt Blades, Chairman, Gwen Liz
"Yes, what we are doing is we are combining some of the classes, because you know you don't have enough students - you might have 3-4 1st forms, so you combine everybody together and then the teachers are passing on the instructions to them."

We'll keep monitoring the schools to see how they go as the strike wears on. Teachers have been warned they will lose salary for the days missed.
