Kaddy Jawara Lower Basic Grade 1 – children aged 6/7 years
Kaddy lives in nearby Sanchaba with her four children. Kaddy’s husband has recently retired from working for the Gambian Government as Brikama Area Council chairman.
Kaddy moved to this area from Bwiam, some 2 hours away by car but much longer by gelle-gelle (the local mini bus). Before coming to Sunrise Kaddy taught for 4 years as a Nursery Teacher with children aged 5/6. Previously she spent time at home bringing up her family. Kaddy’s family are all from Someta near to Bwiam. She is a Mandinka originally from Nama near to Soma. Kaddy speaks the following languages; Mandinka, Jola, Wolof, Fula and of course English. |
Kaddy has an Early Child Development Certificate from Gambia College in Brikama.
The Lower Basic School is governed by the Gambian Education Department and we have help from Mr Jarju, the school cluster monitor who helps us to follow the appropriate rules and regulations that are laid down to ensure a consistent approach to schooling.
The curriculum is also laid down across all schools by the Education Department and we have the luxury of many copies of Gambian Basic Education Year 1 English, Maths and Integrated Studies text books that support this structure.
Kaddy has help from Mama Nabaneh (LBS Classroom Assistant), full time at the moment but Mama’s time will also be split with LBS Class 2 next year, as the school continues to grow.
We are also required to teach religious studies and we have employed a part-time Qur'anic Teacher (Mr Saidykhan) to help us here. We have the support of another teacher to teach the children who are Christians.
