Schools Resumption in Ayamelum witness impressive turnout

                                                       
As the primary and secondary schools in Anambra state reopen for  fresh academic session after a long vacation, schools in Ayamelum Local Government Area of the state witnessed impressive turnout of pupils and students.
Some schools in the area visited by Information Officers include Boys High School Anaku, Umuezeagu Primary School, Anaku, amongst others.
At Boys High School, students were seen cleaning their classrooms in readiness to receiving lessons from their teachers, while at Umuezeagu Primary School,  pupils had finished cleaning their classrooms and were playing at the corridors of the classrooms.
Also, the Information Officers observed that their teachers were sitting outside waiting for the classrooms to dry, just as they were monitoring the movement of the pupils playing at the school's corridors.
In an interview, two of the female teachers of the school,  Ojadi Blessing and Ekwueje Georgina, described the impressive turnout of the pupils and teachers as an indication that the pupils were fully ready to learn and the teachers really out to teach the pupils.
They however, lauded Governor Obiano's developmental strides in education sector as well as in other sectors, which according to them, have been helping in alleviating the plights of teachers in the state such as prompt payment of teachers' salaries and the welfare package.
They equally, thanked God Almighty who had made it possible for the pupils and teachers to remain healthy throughout the long vacation, praying God for more strength with which to go through the new academic session successfully.
Meanwhile, they appealed to Governor  Obiano to come to the aid of the pupils of Umuezeagu Primary School, Anaku, who have been sitting on the bare floor of the classrooms to receive lessons, by providing them with chairs and desks in order to reduce the plight of the pupils in the school.
According to them,the only pupils that sit on the chairs are the ones whose parents afford to provide plastic chairs for them. Since they cannot write while sitting on the plastic chairs because there is no desk to write on, so they have to sit on the bare floor to write.
