The Girl Child is powerful. She has dreams and abilities that if wielded will disrupt the status quo in the patriarchal society she finds herself in. She has foresight; she is intelligent; she is a born leader. When she arises, she makes things happen; once she finds her voice, she would not be silenced; she would not take no for an answer. Contrary to how she is perceived to be a weakling, she is strong. She is a formidable force. In situations when she has to grapple with her male counterparts for a position, if given equal opportunity, she is bound to come out on top.

Tanji Lower Basic School is an institution that does not only recognize and award excellence, but also celebrates it. The institution is second to none when it comes to awarding outstanding students. Apart from this, indigent students who are academically robust are not left out of this largesse by the school management. They (brilliant students) are awarded prizes for their outright academic performance.

And so today, some brilliant students in the aforementioned school were awarded prizes for their outstanding performance in National Assessment Test (NAT) as out of 300 marks, our first mark was 277 which was scored by the amazing Mariama Jaiteh followed by her colleagues Mariama Sunna, Jariatou Jallow, Fabakary Jammeh, Soffie Sonko, Sirreh Ndong, Arabiatou Bojang and the list goes on…
While presenting the prizes to the students, the deputy-headmaster reiterated the willingness of the management to always award distinguished students, most especially in their academics. He also apprised the other students to buckle down and face their studies with all diligence.
These awards, which were not the first, are symptomatic of the appetency the management has for academic excellence. Every member of the school believes that this action will spur the students on to burn candles at both ends in order to accomplish academic superbness.

In the aftermath of the presentation, all the awardees were smiling with a high hope and passion for more success ahead. Similarly, the activity will sincerely trigger all other students who were unfortunate to collect a prize home to speed up their velocity to move along with the other frequencies for academic excellence.

“A dream doesn’t become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination, perseverance and hard work to achieve it.”

In light of the above, I’d like to use this platform to thank the school administration for coming up with such a real moral boaster initiative in promoting the real academic excellence in Tanji Lower Basic School .Special thanks and gratitude to all teachers who in one way or the other helped the students towards this massive success. Not also forgetting all parents at home for continuously encouraging their children to keep on with the reading routines. Together, we can make Tanji better for the future.

MEET MRS. FATOU DRAMMEH OF TANJI LBS

Meet Mrs. Fatou Drammeh of Tanji Lower Basic School a true beacon of inspiration for the entire community of Tanji. Her unwavering dedication and altruistic spirit shine brightly as she selflessly utilized her hard-earned teaching salary to breathe life into the children’s life in school, thus creating a haven of knowledge and nurturing for children. With the support of a few devoted teachers by her side, she selflessly has forged a path of educational enlightenment, offering this gift of education free to all children on their shoulders and young minds eager to explore and learn vigorously from her garden of knowledge and wisdom. Fatou’s endeavor stands as a testament to the transformative power of compassion and determination, leaving an indelible mark on the lives of children in the aforementioned institution and others she passed through. Truly, she embodies the essence of a visionary and compassionate leader, and her laudable efforts deserve to be celebrated and celebrated.

In the year 2019, when I came to Tanji Lower Basic School as a classroom teacher I noticed does unchanged qualities in her. She brought together in the first phase about fifty (50) students together and guided them through so many life-changing activities that they will never ever forget. She guided them on poetry, drama, spellings, writing skills and most importantly the effective speaking and writing of English in school and away from school, she succeeded in nurturing those attitudes in the hearts and minds of the students.

What really blows my mind away about her is that, anytime an activity or event is coming up in school she will selflessly scout a new badge of students from different grade levels and guide them within a short time frame and the performance of those students is mind blowing in the presence of the audience. A true beacon of hope and compassion for the entire community of Tanji.

Fatou is a mother to two (Adama & Ousman) and an Aunty to many in and out of the community. Her cooking abilities is next to none, as even before the food is served the aroma that penetrates through the windows blows the minds of the patient gentlemen or women waiting to be served. Her hands are purely magic.

I feel extra privileged to have worked alongside her since my inclusion to the staff profile of Tanji Lower Basic School from start to date. Truly, she embodies the essence of a visionary and compassionate leader, and her laudable efforts deserve to be celebrated and celebrated.

Education is a right, not a privilege.

Every child deserves an education.

Every child deserves the opportunity to learn.

LEARNING IS ALL ABOUT CHANGES 📚✍️♥️

Learning is all about change, and change drives learning. The two are inevitable and go hand in hand. Change is what creates a difference between the present and the future. In each area of life, it raises questions about readiness to take advantage of opportunities and to change behavioural patterns. Learning can bring about change by creating new capabilities and opening the door to new and unexpected opportunities. It also has the potential to empower a person to influence the future, providing choices that would not be available otherwise.

The main purpose of education is the integral development of a person. In addition, it is a source of it’s obvious benefits for a fuller and better life. Education can contribute to the betterment of society as a whole. It develops a society in which people are aware of their rights and duties.
Education is a cultural and learning process. Through this, all people can develop cognitive abilities, physical abilities and establish values ​​and beliefs. That allows us to act as good citizens.

Access to education is a right that all people have equally. Hence it has importance and significant value in the various areas of human development.
Education goes beyond acquiring or reinforcing knowledge. Since it is also a cultural process that allows us to better understand our context.
In this sense, education encompasses different purposes and valuable factors. That includes culture, moral values, cognitive development, and social integration.

I yearn to make education accessible for all but most especially for the girl child in The Gambia, because when the girl child is education we are then assured of a better today and future for our beloved motherland (The Gambia).

Support me today to enroll more girl child in school.
