installation of solar power will improve academic performance in the school.
//Cue in: “Tini gin obino …
Cue out: … ame oromo ischool.”//
Translation: “Today they have installed the solar
system and connected light to all our offices, classrooms, and dormitories. The
installation of power will now ease learning processes because our teachers
will now teach extra lessons effectively and learners will be able to read
books at night,”
While handing over the solar system to leaders of
Apac Seed Secondary School on Sunday, Tony Jasper Odongo, the Apac District LC V Vice Chairperson urged the school heads to ensure the safety of the system.
Jasper Otimoi, the GIZ Focal Point Person in Apac
District says the donation of the solar system has brought the power crisis of the school to
an end, and asked students to make the best use of the solar when schools reopen.
