Youth
Ambassadors of Peace (YAP), in partnership with CEF The Gambia, has conducted a
baseline survey on the flexible school calendar and student teachers contact
hours for the 2006 – 2007 academic year.
The survey
aimed at finding empirical evidence on the school attendance to facilitate
advocacy activities in schools for the improvement in school attendance and
quality of education in general.
YAP will tomorrow commence the validation of the report at the
Regional Education Office, Region Two, Brikama. The two-day forum is targeting
respondents from different schools as well as stakeholders.
