Windhoek — Youth Corner's Sabina Elago talks to members of the Learners Representative Council (LRC) of the El Dorado Secondary School on their duties, challenges and how they cope with such challenges, their leadership skills in coping with such challenges and carrying out their duties leadership and the balance they strike between their schoolwork and LRC duties.
Jarsino Bath (Head Boy): "Teachers and learners saw the capability of leadership in me and elected me as a Head Boy. I motivate other learners, as I am understanding and always helpful. As a Head Hoy I find it difficult to deal with undisciplined learners every day, those that are always late to classes, not wearing their uniform properly and not wanting to listen to LRC, telling them not to do the same thing over and over it is frustrating. Balancing school work and LRC duties is the main challenge we face and this leads us to stay up late or wake up early to catch up with other learners on our school work. We keep order around the school ground as teachers alone cannot handle the whole school on their own and no school will be well off without an LRC."
