He highlighted that teachers play a critical role in guiding learners to effectively use the information they receive. As Papajan continued, he stated that knowledge is the ability to correctly apply the information learned.
The initiative is aimed at retaining learners in school
He quoted Genesis 1:26 and John 3:16 to support his explanation. “Each child is a creative container; they already know something and just need guidance to achieve their best in what they are learning,” Papajan said.
The Ray of Hope director, Apollo Ayimba, mentioned that the organization is awaiting clearance from the Ministry of Education before their programme can commence. Additionally, Pastor Samwel Nakwa, the Ray of Hope coordinator in the county, stated that the organization also plans to supply lockers to schools facing shortages and will repair damaged water pumps.
Pastor Nakwa urged the concerned schools to be patient as the necessary logistics are organized by the organization. The one-day workshop took place at Pkopoch Primary and Comprehensive School, where dozens of teachers attended.
