Construction of Examination Hall and 6 Classrooms for Excel High Academy

Lesotho
|
Ha Tjobe

Problem/ Context

We are a rural school in Lesotho, Excel High Academy. Our school does not have proper buildings that meet the required standards for final examinations. Because of this, our students are forced to travel long distances from our rural area to urban centres to write their final examinations.This long-distance travel causes high transport costs for parents, safety risks for learners, and stress that affects their performance in examinations.

We are therefore seeking support to build a proper examination hall / permanent classrooms at our school premises, so that our learners can write their examinations in a safe, dignified and conducive environment at their own school.

Detailed project description

Project Title: Construction of Examination Hall and Classrooms for Excel High Academy

Objectives:
The main objective of this project is to construct a permanent examination hall and classrooms at our school premises to enable our learners to write their final examinations at school.

Specific objectives are:
1. To build an examination hall that can accommodate 100 learners at a time.
2. To provide safe, permanent, and weather-proof classrooms that meet Ministry of Education standards.
3. To eliminate the need for learners to travel from rural to urban areas for examinations.
4. To improve academic performance and increase school enrolment.

Material Requirements:
To complete this project we will need: cement, building bricks/blocks, river sand, roofing sheets, timber and trusses, windows and doors, flooring materials, electrical installation, paint, and classroom furniture (100 desks and chairs, tables for invigilators). We will also need skilled labour including builders, carpenters and electricians.

Expected Results:
1. Our students will be able to write all final examinations at our own school starting from the next examination season.
2. Reduced financial burden on parents for transport and accommodation during examinations.
3. Improved learner safety, comfort and academic performance.
4. The hall will also serve as a multi-purpose hall for learning, school meetings and community gatherings.
5. The project will ensure long-term sustainable education for vulnerable children in our rural community.

MU RUGO RUGALI GARILEA serves 143 children in a community where the school seeks to contribute to access to early childhood and primary education. Although the school has classrooms and a team of teachers and support staff, its infrastructure remains limited.Five of the seven existing classrooms are old and all seven are not enough to receive all the available customers where 77 pending children in this first term 2026 have not yet been registered.

The school also lacks a dedicated library, a suitable kitchen building and a dining hall. In addition, the school seeks a perimeter fence to define the school boundary and improve the management and security of the compound.

The school intends to extend its educational provision to Primary Five and Primary Six next academic year 2027-2028, subject to the required authorization but right now an urgent need is on expanding baby class and Primary one where we have ready children but no classes to put them in. Additional classroom space is therefore a priority. A library would give children greater access to storybooks and reference materials. A dedicated kitchen and dining hall would help organise meal preparation and pupils' meals more appropriately.

The school needs additional classrooms to support its planned expansion to find where to put received client in this first term that started on 07/09/2026 where we had 220 children but we managed to accommodate 143 only, others are still not registered and are willing to come any time we get two at least two classes to put them in. It also needs a library to encourage reading, a kitchen for food preparation, a dining hall for pupils' meals, and a perimeter fence to help define and secure the school compound.

The school faces severe classroom shortages due to increasing enrolment and the implementation of Kenya's Competency-BasedCurriculum (CBC) and Junior Secondary School (JSS) programme.The school currently has only eight classrooms, four of which are inadequate andovercrowded. PP1 and PP2 learners lack dedicated classrooms, compromising early childhoodlearning outcomes.

Wimagak Primary School currently faces a critical shortage of learning space.
Despite serving 524 learners, the school operates with only eight classrooms. Four of these classrooms are undersized and inadequate, while PP1 and PP2 learners lack proper classrooms entirely.

Our pupil numbers have increased, and we have been forced to triple the size of the SIL and CP classes, double the size of the CM1 class, and use the parish hall – which is outside the school grounds – for the CM2 class. We therefore wish to plan ahead for the start of the next school year.
