Defending her decision,the Director said with the introduction of the standardised -based curriculum and its associated changes in contact hours, the organisation of extra classes would affect the pupils after a long stay in school.
She earlier indicated that the directorate has heard the introduction of extra classes in schools without official permission from the directorate.
”Headteachers are therefore entreated to put a stop to the organisation of extra classes after normal school hours” She said.
