Underperforming schools will be undergoing changes beginning with the principals and heads of department as a wakeup call.

This is the message from Education Minister Filipe Bole who said this will be the case for the schools that have not performed or showed negative progress reflected in the results of the two external exams, FSLC and FJC, in the last three years despite government assistance.

He said many of these school heads have been comfortable, unthreatened and lacked vision.

As a result, he is advising all school heads both in the primary and secondary level to check the school vision and communicate them to all levels within the school and beyond.

He said all visions should be aligned to the Ministry's vision which is "Education for Change, Peace and Progress", and added all schools ought to have one.

Bole added unless children, teachers, parents, school management and school communities are well versed with the vision, the work of administering and management of any school will remain a challenge.
