Over Impressive Attendance on 1st Day of New School Year, Ahamdiyya Rokupr Principal Discloses Secret

By: Alusine Rehme Wilson 


Principal of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Secondary School in Rokupr town, Kambia District, Northwestern Sierra Leone Mr. Musa Kojo Daqua Mahmood has told AWE-Media.SL that, “the impressive pupil’s attendance at the school on the first day of the new academic year is a system the school has nurtured 12 years ago.”

According to him, there were a total of 817 pupils that were present on Monday, 5th September, 2022 the very first day of the new school year in Sierra Leone, and of the 817 attendees, there were 120 newly admitted pupils into JSS-I. 


“This is an impressive attendance record for school pupils on the first day of the 2022/2023 academic year,” he acknowledged.

Disclosing that, “to hit such a positive mark has not been easy, he thanked his staff, parents and other partners of education in Rokupr town, Magbema chiefdom and Kambia District at large for their unflinching collaboration with his administration over the years. “

He went on to say: “it’s my staff's dedication to service plus the administration’s regular dialogue with parents and other education partners that has helped us institute discipline, deliver quality education to our pupils  and topped sister schools at public examinations for almost 12 year now.”

“In addition, we’ve always ensured to teach on every school day especially in the first two weeks of every term we don’t get our pupils to sweep the school compound but only ensure to keep all classes tidy and descent while our primary focus has been on teaching thoroughly and keeping the pupils in school throughout the established school time, even if there is just a pupil in a class as it has been some 12 years ago, that pupils is assured of receiving equal education,” he reminisced.


Key among other top secret the school administration has used over the years to improve pupils attendance is to deliver quality and equal education to pupils while ignoring the routine practices by other schools to engage their pupils to pick litters around the school on the first day and to some extent in the first two weeks of every team but constantly engaging Teachers to priorities the pupils during the teaching and learning process as well as parenting the pupils the best way on their parents behalf, the Vice Principal Mr. Joseph Sandi also disclosed during a chat at the school on Monday morning.


Asked if he has any recommendation on how the school’s exemplary model can be emulated by other institutional Heads in the district and nationwide, Mr. Mahmood replied saying “yes, they just need to better organize, inculcate team spirit between them and education stakeholders in their respective community and be discipline at all times and put the pupils interests at the center of the teaching and learning process.”

Senegal, first African team to beat England, but not first to score three goals

By: Alusine Rehme Wilson Claim: Soccer World HQ, in a Facebook post , claimed that Senegal is the first African team to beat England and the first to score three goals against them. Verdict: Partly True! Senegal is the first African team to beat England, but not the first to score three goals against them. Full Text The England senior men’s national football team, nicknamed the “Three Lions,” played their first match against Scotland in 1872. That match ended goalless but marked the beginning of an intense soccer rivalry between both nations, dubbed the “Auld Enemy.” Since 1872-2025, the England national team has achieved its 1000-game milestone in November 2019 when they played Montenegro at the Wembley Stadium. England's all-time head-to-head record shows that they’ve played a whopping 1072 matches against 100 countries, won 615 games, drew 255, and lost 200. Senegal, on the other hand, is one of Africa’s most famous football nations, nicknamed the “Lions of Teranga.” In 2002, ...

Sierra Leone, Two other Nations disqualified from AFCON 2024 U17 Qualifiers

By: Abdulrahman Barrie The U17 football teams from Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Guinea Bissau have been disqualified from the 2024 U17 African Cup of Nations competition in Senegal after failing the mandatory MRI test scans. These scans, which determine the age of the players, revealed discrepancies that led to their removal from the tournament. The disqualification follows changes to Article 27.4 of the U17 Africa Cup of Nations regulations, which have tightened the criteria and enforcement of age verification measures. The updated rules stipulate that if a team has more than four players deemed ineligible after the MRI eligibility test, the entire team will be disqualified. The MRI tests, used to enforce age restrictions in youth competitions, are crucial for ensuring fairness. Unfortunately, the teams from these three nations did not meet the age criteria, resulting in their disqualification. This decision has come as a significant disappointment for the young players and their fans, w...

Disturbing snail space Civil works in the Makeni Central Lorry park

By: Ibrahim Jalloh - (Jallomy) The Makeni City Council (MCC) ordered commercial vehicles and business entities to leave the park area for the purpose of upgrading the park. Two weeks were given as the duration of the work. Regrettably, a week plus few days have elapsed with no significant work done. Drivers and business people in the park are completely frustrated and their livelihoods threatened.  Few years ago, drivers and traders were asked out of the park for similar reason but after two weeks they were asked to return to the park with no work done. This was disrespectful and insulting.  We urge MCC to double their efforts as the affected persons are running out of patience.
