Speaking with some reporters of Umuaka Times who called on her last week, the principal confirmed that the students and the staff of the great institution were very happy when it was announced to them that someone, “their elder brother, dede, uncle and father has paid for their NECO registration.”
The principal used the opportunity to task the students to be of good behaviourand disassociate themselves from social vices and juvenile delinquencies. Umuaka Times gathered from the principal that since she started work in the school by January 2024, the community has done a lot to improve the standards of the school. She specifically noted the great significance the fencing of the school and other improvements or advancements have achieved. She seriously expressed satisfaction on the installation of iron doors, protectors and windows. The demarcation between Hilltop Primary School and High School UmuakaWwas described as a landmark achievement by the principal.
Above all these, MrsAmaechi extolled the management of the school for the registration and accreditation of the school for both WAEC and NECO in the state. She described that as a milestone achieved by the collective responsibility of the community. “We are happy that the students can now take their WAEC or NECO here at HSU.”
Another aspect that calls for celebrations according to the principal is the increasing number of student population. Despite the successes the school has recorded, Mrs. OluchiAmaechi seriously hinted that the school is not without some challenges; she expressed serious optimism that considering how the community handles her projects, the challenges facing the school will soon be a thing of the past.
In her views, the challenges include, “security issues, lack of conveniences for teachers and students, lack of lockers and chairs for the students and more. “We need more classrooms and we also find it hard to pay the PTA teachers”, the principal lamented.
