Madam Aissatou Diallo, the Executive Vice Principal and French teacher at FAWE Secondary School in Grafton, has distributed textbooks and exercise books to all students who attended school on the first day of the academic year.

This is a proactive move to foster early engagement and discipline among students.

Traditionally, Sierra Leonean schools add an extra week to the academic calendar under the assumption that effective instruction is challenging during the initial week. However, Madam Diallo aims to challenge this norm by encouraging students to start the year strong and instill a culture of punctuality and dedication from day one.

By providing essential study materials to students right at the outset, Madam Diallo hopes to motivate and equip them for success throughout the school year. Her initiative not only emphasizes the importance of consistent learning but also underscores the significance of being present and engaged from the beginning of each academic term.

Madam Aissatou Diallo’s thoughtful gesture reflects her commitment to nurturing a learning environment that prioritizes student development and academic excellence. Her efforts are poised to inspire a new wave of enthusiasm and dedication among the student body at FAWE Secondary School.
