The 2023-2024 academic year has not been a successful one in Haiti. Many students who normally would pass their exams had difficulties meeting the grade level requirements to move on to the next class. They found themselves just short of passing their exams due to temporary setbacks.
Recognizing that these students had the potential to succeed with the right support, Konbit Pou Potapiman in accord with the primary school directors is introducing special remedial courses designed to help those students bridge the gap and advance to the next class. These courses aim to provide targeted support and preparation for a special exam that will determine their readiness to be upgraded.
The courses are offered to students of grade levels 4, 5, and 6. The participating schools are EFA, Ecole Notre Dame du Rosaire, Ecole Nationale de Figuiers and Ecole Nationale de Potus. 100 students are expected to attend. Each school has selected 25 kids who meet the criteria. The duration of the courses is set for 1 month from July 15th to August 15th, 2024.
Teachers with expertise and a proven record have been chosen by the school administrators to lead the courses, KPP provided all necessary materials and covered all costs associated with the realization of this project.
Regular assessments will be conducted to monitor the progress of the students, under the supervision of KPP Representative, Mrs. Paule Edeline Orcel.
At the end of the course, school administrators will assess their students, A special exam will be given and those who pass will move to the next class in September,
