The first term of the 2019-2020 academic year began on September 10th and closed following the end of term exams on December 11th. The TMP Academy leadership team was very pleased with the performance of both the staff and students. Through constant attention to the needs of the students and their families, we saw tremendous progress and ended the term very encouraged by the student’s growth and development.
The school had eleven weeks of teaching, one week for revision and two weeks for examination. The end of term exams began on December 5th and concluded on December 11th. The students did impressively well and it is clear that they have come such a long way from when they first arrived at the school.
The level of English fluency in school has increased greatly along with overall student attendance. English fluency and attendance were two key areas of focus. Due to the lack of access to school, most of the children were working on their family farm or doing other jobs around the community. As we’ve noted before, we spent a year prior to the school opening, working with families and students to understand the importance of education and the necessity of them attending class. We are so thrilled with how the community has embraced education and allowed their children to attend.
Our second term began on January 8th and we look forward to sharing exciting updates!
