On Monday 6/7, we were able to visit Libala Basic School! I anticipated this day for so long so of course I was excited but also extremely nervous! As soon as we arrived the pupils (students) were so welcoming in. Dr. Shandomo & Professor Wendy McLeish went inside of the school first to simply talk to the administrators and advice them about our arrival. As we waited for them in the van, the driver (Michael) taught us how to say good morning in there local language. It was so heart warming to see the faces of pupils when we would say good morning in their native language. Some of the students began to show off their cool dance moves and others were very shy to speak to us. Once we were able to enter the school, we were able to meet with the Head Teacher (Principal), Deputy Teacher (Assistant Principal), and Senior Teachers (Head of Departments). They were extremely welcoming and friendly!! During this meeting they informed us about the history of Libala, how enrollment works, how the school is funded, and also allowed us to ask many questions. This Q&A session was extremely informative! We learned so much about the school and staff members!! I was amazed to learn that each classroom is composed of 55-70 pupils per class!! I couldn't believe that one teacher had to teach so many pupils at a time especially without any Teacher Asisstants.

AuthorMy passion for education has led me to gain the desire to broaden my horizons. I hope to learn from Zambian teaching models as well as incorporate my own teaching philosophy while in the classrooms at Libala Basic School. I enjoy traveling and learning about other cultures. My goal is to travel to as many countries as I possibly can! ArchivesCategories |
