The pandemic leads to the school year being delayed and there's no guarantee for grade students to fully understand the lessons on modular classes and even through radio transmitted explanations. But, that's the other side of the story in schooling.

It is total different way in college. Setting foot into the final stage is crucial and sometimes doubtful but striving hard to finish and making it as a goal to graduate with a degree makes it possible. Finishing a degree is like holding up your dreams while overcoming struggles by the help of parents,guardians or by themselves.

This is a big chance for the students to continue their study within the Municipality. A way cheaper than attending other schools away and stay in boarding houses. The residents gladly welcome the University as a chance for the left outs and grade 12 graduates to enchance thier skills and widen the knowledge that they have.

This proves that the pandemic cannot stop the students and teachers from putting education on the table. This may sound repetitive but education is very important. Parents often tells thier children to study hard ans reach thier dreams. There are no shortcuts in life towards success, and enduring the problems while going on is a positive choice.
