Most of the schools have already begun the end of term exams while others have had to reschedule the examination dates. Some teachers who spoke to Citi News said their hands were tied and had no choice but to write questions on chalkboards. Some of the teachers have to write over 40 objective questions on boards for the students within a limited amount of time and space. “Now that the government says we should stop and the government hasn’t provided money to print papers for the students, we are going to write the questions on the board.”
