Vuci Students Take Ownership of Education
The youth of Naivirourou have now taken it upon themselves to ensure their education is not left to chance. Vuci students take ownership of their education through additional preparatory classes every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday night.
Overview of Classes
From mid-July of this year they have been organising study nights every Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays at Raturagalevu Hall & Evacuation Centre. These preparations are toward the mid-term assessments (for secondary school students). The year six students are preparing for the Literacy and Numeracy Assessment – LANA in the immediate future.
The plan is to scale to medium-term planning for this year’s final assessments, including internal examinations for Year 9 and 11; while for Years 8 to 12, they prepare for external examinations.. In the long term, Vuci students take ownership of their education through clear improvement in not only marks, but eventual progression to higher education and employment.
Who Supervises and at What Time?
Viliame and Mrs. Kauregu both supervise and convene these thrice-weekly classes. Years 6-8 only stay for one hour between 7:00PM-8:00PM and all secondary grades (Years 7-13) start their class at 7:00PM and finishing an extra hour of work to close at 9:00PM.
The classes are not only a general study session, but are targeted towards the key weaknesses and struggles that may catch these young pupils. More specifically, the new facilities at the hall provide the space and resources to strengthen understanding.
What to Wear?
The students are exhorted and do abide to the village dress code for such classes. For boys, sulu and bula or dress shirts and dresses and ankle-length dresses for girls. Both may wear warm and comfortable winter clothing provided their heads are uncovered as is iTaukei custom.
