Monthly report March/April

Written by Teacher Margaret

Jambo happy day family. Receive Easter greetings from us at happy day. We are almost closing school for the easter holidays. First term has been the best for us due to the visits from norway.We are a happy people due to the encouragement , motivation and help given to happy day kids, staff and families. 

Due to the ongoing transition from the 8-4-4 system of education to the new 2-6-3-3 system, the government has required that all school going children be individually registered with the ministry of education. We have started the process though we face lots of challenges. Most kids don't have a birth certificate which is a major requirement for registration. We have already paid for the registration fee that was required by the ministry of education for all happy day kids. We have registered those who have already submitted their birth certificates

We will continue with the registration even after we close. 

We are closing on Thursday 5th April 2018.  We shall open on Tuesday 2 nd may 2018
Two of our teachers are supposed to go to college to upgrade on the new curriculum. Tr mary and TR. Joy

Our march/April budget is as follows
Salaries..... 75,000
Insurance...14,000
Water............4,000
TOTAL........ 93,000

We at happy day and the country as a whole have a cooking fuel challenge. Charcoal burning has been banned by the government and we use charcoal as the only fuel at happy day
We have to upgrade from cooking with charcoal to either gas or electricity. Gas as at now is cheaper than all the other fuel though we have to buy a gas cooker which is expensive.
