LLC Program Director's Report September 2024
Basic school children across the country returned to school on Tuesday, September 10, 2024, for the commencement of the 2024/2025 academic year.

After operating a transitional calendar in 2021 and 2022 with the school year starting from January to December, the Ghana Education Service (GES) began the process to return to the former calendar last year, beginning from October 3, 2023. The GES reverted to the pre-COVID-19 academic calendar for basic schools following the completion of the 2022 academic year.

This is a short report from the KG2 teachers. We are two teachers in KG2 Salimu Alhassan Mr. Mengla. We have 40 learners in the class comprising of 24 boys and 16 girs. The class is more challenging because the number of learners is high and the learners understanding also varies, so they need more attention.

LLC Program Director's Report Apr 2024
LLC just like all other basic schools in Ghana started the term on the 9th of January, 2024 and closed the term on the 11th of April, 2024. As usual, a lot of activities are carried out especially on the vacation day to ensure that everything is set and kept at the right place to welcome students back after the vacation period. Students cleaned and packed all teaching and learning materials back to the shelves and cover them with cloth materials and mats to avoid dust and mice. Aside arranging and packing of teaching and learning materials inside the classroom, children also washed and cleaned the concrete and poly tanks to prepare for the incoming rains. Rains usually come during the April break and teachers and children are confident that the rains will start before school resumes on the 2nd day of May, 2024. Click here for full report

Our German friend and visiting teacher Fay Airi Record forms a fast bond with LLC students.
Fay, our German friend, has been supportive to both teachers and children of the La'angum school since her arrival. The leadership team of the La'angum school held a meeting with her and assisted her to design a schedule. She started with observation in the various classrooms and began her presentations in the basic four (4) classrooms where her accent is well heard and understood. She is also active in and out the classroom and is always found with children around her. The children come to the residence every morning to ride with her to and from school. They play card games, rope skip, dance and share stories. Fay likes visiting the families of the children, going shopping, and sharing food with the children. Click here for full report

LLC Program Director's Report Nov 2023:
Teachers and students make lesson plans as the fall semester begins
From Mr. Baba Bukari: School resumed and teachers are duly allocated to the various classrooms to mind and ensure the utmost start and continue the process of teaching and learning to help realise the mission and objective of PAMBE Ghana and the La’angum Learning Centre.
Schemes of teaching and learning are prepared by each teacher to indicate the parts of the syllabus to cover within the term, set objectives to be achieved at the end of each lesson, and set steps or activities to support presentation. These are supervised by the Program Director and Majeed for the upper primary and Mary Azure and Robert at the lower primary. Notes are taken during the supervision, and one on one discussion is held with teachers to correct or change certain ways and topics. Each teacher is encouraged to step high to be able to realise the objectives set on the various lessons before the end of the term. Aside from the general presentations of lessons in the classrooms, teachers are encouraged to ensure one-on-one attention is given to the children after the presentation since the understanding levels differ. It is therefore common to see teachers attending to smaller groups in the classrooms. Click here for full report
