My experiences this year have been fairly good. The start of classes was similar to last year - online education, which is rather monotonous and boring, The ray of light though was the announcement that we would go back to face-to-face teaching from November. This is much better and makes it easier to understand the different topics. Now we are back at school, I hope this will be a good year.
I am now following technical courses and have had to study additional subjects such as accountancy. This was quite problematic as lessons are still online and the teacher was often absent. I have tried to overcome these problems though and I managed to get a good mark overall this term.
Hi David - well done on continuing to learn online, it must be a real challenge but I'm glad you can do it now. Most government departments were unprepared for the pandemic - even in England so you've done well to get where you are. Good luck with your studies this coming year!!
Hello. I'm happy to still be continuing with my classes this year. Although it's sometimes difficult because of the pandemic, I think it's really important not to stop studying. Sometimes it's difficult to get hold of the correct materials for particular classes, but that's just another challenge of online learning! Thank you for your help.
Covid-19 has dramatically changed my life and my family's life, academically, at home and socially. We couldn't continue going to school. Doing school work from home has been very complicated. Neither the teachers nor the Ministry of Education were prepared for the situation, so sometimes we were asked to do work we had already completed and at other times the correct new materials were missing. Socially, we couldn't meet friends or family, and for a time everything was absolutely shut, apart from food shops and medical centres. It was a risk to go outside, but sometimes we had to. Now the situation has changed a lot, but people are still hesitant about buying things from street-sellers, which is affecting the income of lots of people like us. My family and I are all well, thanks to God, and so are our friends. I hope you are too, and thank you very sincerely for all your support.
Hello everyone. I'm much happier in my new school, where I started this term, because I think it's more organized and more demanding than my old school. This means I can learn more and be better prepared for getting a place at university.

    Notable experiences in my life are, first, passing my standard seven examination and, second, entering secondary school. My most difficult experience was when I started to learn English. I have learned that if you want to do something, you have to work hard. I felt proud was when I entered secondary school. My most memorable and happiest thoughts are from when I celebrated at my birthday party. My dream is to be an electrical engineer. I will get there through studying hard and doing well in science subjects. If I had the power to change my country, I would like to improve the electricity supply especially in rural areas because there are shortages of electric power.

    I have experience planting vegetables because my parents do that. Also, we have a garden at our home. Therefore, that is experience I have had in life. Apart from that experience, I also had a difficult experience when I failed my geography exam. That enabled me to learn how to cooperate with other students. I was so proud of myself when I performed well in my national exam. The memorable and happiest moment in my life will be when I reach my dream of being pilot. I will be so happy. My biggest dream is to be a pilot. I will get there through studying hard in physics, geography, and mathematics. After reaching my dream, I will help my parents to modify their cultivation system and to become professional farmers. From there they can expand the area of cultivation into a large plantation. Once I get a chance to have the power to change my country, I will build many airports in each region and some districts. This will help in the flexibility of transportation in my country.

    Experiences in my life are when I failed my examination during primary education and also when my parents failed to pay food for me. My difficult experiences in my life are when my parents have insufficient enough money to pay for all my basic needs at school such as food and other school contributions. The thing that makes me feel so proud of myself is when I succeeded in joining O-level education. This makes me feel that I will, I must, I can do everything. The most memorable and happiest thing in my life will be to reach my dream of being a doctor general so as I can help other people in society. My future dream is to be a GOOD surgical doctor. After me reaching my dream, I will give back help to my society and family, but also to WEF. I need to work hard upon reaching my dream in my life. Once I get chance to have power of changing anything in country, I will improve the education system by converting science subjects from theory to practical. In most of our schools, they teach science subjects mostly theoretically. I will start from there because as we know education is the key to every success in our people.
