I think it is a very good idea to provide further training to our school principals, so they can do their job better. I'm sure they can use any help they can get, and if the training gives them the skill to better manage their schools and work within limited financial resources, then everyone wins - the pupils, the teachers, the public, the nation. If the training is also aimed at raising standards, that can also only be a positive thing. I wonder whether some of the public administrators in the Ministry of Education would also benefit from such training, since we cannot expect principals to be the only ones running our schools properly.

I'm sure it's good if the private sector gets involved, as long as it is not tokenism but meaningful, and does not curry any favours. I suppose even if the budgets are properly managed and the funds spent meaningfully there will still be budgetary shortfalls, which is where the private sector can and should step in to see how it can help. Of course not all principals will benefit - too many, I'm sure. But I'm also sure there are not many white principals left in the education sector, so the beneficiaries will be from previously disadvantaged groups.

ear all,


Looking at recent news reports I trust the principals will also be taught how to keep their hands and other appendages oof the female learners and not impregnate them.

I think it is important to say that not all principals need training and not all principals are bad and not all principals impregnate their female learners! Some do, most don't. Most principals are hard-working and committed, and they face numerous challenges. I think any training should be welcome, whether it is funded by the State or private sector. It may just improve things in our schools overall.

True! Most of them use condoms!!!
