Intervention: CoRe

Giving up is not an option. 

The educational sector especially private school businesses were badly hit by the ravaging effects of the coronavirus pandemic, but Priscilla has not given up as she enhances her skills of connecting with her students and staffers in these difficult moments.

My name is Priscilla Addo. I am at Ablekuma in Accra and work as an educator. I got to know about the CoRe programme through an SMS that I kept receiving and finally decided to follow it up. I have learnt as a leader to be emotionally strong and help others come out of their difficulties without necessarily making it look obvious to them about my own struggles. The importance of regularly checking on my students came as a good strategy of showing more care and concern to my pupils which I believe will ultimately enhance the school’s success and serve as a way of encouraging her pupils, parents, and guardians as well. This lesson I belief would really help me as an educator.

I was encouraged to not give up on the school business but rather put in all necessary efforts to maintain both staff and students during and after this pandemic. I have already started implementing the new ideas from the programme. The culture of checking on my students regularly has started in earnest than before.

Meetings with members of staff to deliberate on ways of surviving and thriving have also gained much re- enforcement.

Thanks to the CoRe Programme.
