In our survey of school management, we have found that a lot of time is wasted moving between classes. If students move quickly, some time can be recovered. The risk is that making students hurry between classes they may hurt themselves. A major problem is in the condition of the school building. Lots of money needs spending on renovation. Some classrooms have windows that don’t close, a few classrooms even have plaster falling from the ceilings. There is always a little water on the floor in the bathrooms because a little of the taps drip. A lot of the students say they would like to see some green areas around the school. A few students said the school is too hot in summer and too cold in winter, but lots of them were happy with the temperature.
