Joseph Makilap","speaker":null,"content":"Currently, we give junior secondary schools that are domiciled in our primary schools a budget for capitation. There should be proper management of junior secondary schools, separate from primary schools. If a primary school has a board of management, there should be a separate management entity for the junior secondary school. One puzzling thing is whether junior secondary schools will operate under a different head-teacher or whether they will be under the same head-teacher. Those are the issues that these guidelines must sort out, so that they have different management entities because they have different curriculums. The board of management and the head-teacher of the primary school should deal with primary school matters and curriculum, and then there should be a head-teacher who will be responsible for the junior secondary school. After all, junior secondary schools encompass grades 7, 8, and 9. That is good enough. That is a good number of students to be handled and run by a principal and a board of their own, so that they pursue their learning."}
