Finally she pleaded with parents to pay more attention to their children as some of them appear in school every morning looking very rough and unkempt. According to her “some of the pupils have new books and uniforms which were also donated to them but kept at home by their parents for reasons not known to me instead of allowing the pupils come with them to school. I urge parents to do more so as to support the teachers and the school.
