Malawi Muslims against increasing school hours

Malawi Primary school

The Muslim Association of Malawi has expressed discontent over government’s decision the government made to extend learning hours in the country’s primary schools.

When announcing the extension in June, the ministry of education, science and technology expressed hope that the new learning hours will help schools to finish the syllabus in time.

But General Secretary for MAM Sheik Dinala Chabulika said extending hours is not a good way of finishing the syllabus.

He said there is a problem of hunger in the country so keeping a child from morning to the afternoon will render the child hungry and tired hence would not understand what the teach is teaching.

Malawi Primary school“I don’t think extending time for learning will  do any good to the country’s education because keeping a child in school for a long time will make the child not to understand what is being taught and also considering the hunger situation in the country,” said Chabulika.

He added that the ministry of education should have consulted the organisation before instituting the extension.

However, some quarters hailed the ministry for the move saying this will improve education standards in the country.

The adjustment which is effective September 1 will see Standard 1 students knocking off at 12:00 from 10:40 on the current timetable.

Standards 2, 3 and 4 learners will now be knocking off at 13:50 from 12:30 while senior classes of standard 5 up to 8 are now to be closing doors of their classrooms at 14:30.

  8. A teacher is his own master and supervisor.He Decides what happens in the classroom.Extending learning time is immaterial if the teacher is not a consenting party.In simple terms,you can force a teacher into a classroom but what happens there is solely up to the teacher.

  16. Thanks APM Gvment for dis punishement bt we wl serve as we earn.even Peter wamuthalika the late said ‘tikapezana kunsewo komweko’during demonstrationz on 24july.

    1. It is a question of the curriculum, I hope it is properly blended to be exciting. I believe children shouldn’t have a lot of free time to avoid indulging in bad behaviour.

    2. Yes, sports should be part of the curriculum. In our days, we had physical education (P/E). It can keep our children busy at least. I hope Mustafa Kanfosi you buy the idea of class extension.

    3. To those who were once be a teacher and is in a group of decision makers can oppose this policy unless there is food (eg mphala) and the like.think of remote areas where most of school children do not take breakfast and walk such long distances to school { I think the policy has come in without consulting people on the ground. We are in democracy where powers is given to the people.let us open eyes and see the progress of the policy) end of court.

  17. DZIKO lathu la MALAWI likumatukwanika mmayikomu chifukwa cha anthu amenewa akudana ndimaphunzirowa, tikumanenedwa kuti a MALAWI ndimbuli chifukwa cha iwowa.

  18. Though the arguments given by MAM,somehow make sense, but they are not enough to institute a deterrence! The country at large is in deep crisis, regarding the status of the current education system. Massive dropouts start right from primary level because of numerous problems.
    I think the government, by introducing this system,is heading into a positive direction!
    And we should all rally behind it for a better education for our children!

  19. Okonda maphuzilo saganiza zakudya koma mwana azolowere kugwila ma bukhu not kudya. Ndimaona ngati kuma kalasi okulu 5, 6, 7, ndi 8 ochoka kutali muwadela nkhawa zokafika kutada koma zifukwa zakambidwa pano ndizaziiiiii. Osusuka mwana adzazolowela sinkhani imeneyo tadutsamo muzokhoma ife. Maphuzilo kafuseni ku Zimbabwe, mwana 6: 30 am walowa class up to 5: 00 PM ndie mukaone English-speaking imatuluka mwana otero. Nonsense

    1. Yazin Yasin I think you have already seen my point that am talking of senior classes. Ndipo mwaonaso kuti zomwe ndikunena ndi zoona ku Zimbabwe kuli zenizeni

  20. Those That Implemented This Timetable Did Not Think Of Other Schools That Do Not Provide There Learners With Phala Soya. Maybe They Do Not Know That These Days Learners Are Well Equiped With Rights That Put The Margin Btwn Them And The Tchers On Laws.

    1. Asilamu ndi midyomba ndizosiyana pali atumbuka omwe ndi asilamu achewa atonga inu mukukamba ziti koma umbuli uzakuthelani? Nanu mupite Ku sukulu mukuoneka kuti ndi mbuli nkhani ndi ya asilamu not midyomba

    2. Ndipo chi zuru mwalembachi changosonyeza kuti school simudapite nayo patali ngakhale mukunyoza ena pano. We all know the type of people who go and work amid harsh and unhealth conditions down south. Exploitation is the modern day slavery!!

  21. We will see if this gonna work.Let me remind the govt that we(teachers) work as we earn.What a burden to a heavily taxed malawian teacher and learners are exception, as they come to xool on an empty stomache.

  30. I hate anyone who is called muslim.These people are like witchweed to any nation they are found and it doesn’t surprise even a single soul to hear that Angola has opted to demolish all mosques in that country,kudos Angola.Govt has made the right decision cause this will instill hardworking both to the teachers and the children as well

  31. Learning cannot be stopped by Muslims. Let them be given freedom to leave if they wish to do so. Our education will be defined by standards and not Islamic sharia

  32. This is what I learnt from madrassa. In 7th 13th centuary Muslims introduced and inverted the present arithmetic decimal
    Systems Muslims also introduce a zero . Arabic numerals. Some of the Muslims mathematicians were Muhammad mossa, al khwarizm the one introduced algebra.many Europeans travelled to Muslim countries like Iraq and Africa like Mali where the great Manda musa built the Islamic university in Timbuktu that versify was more advanced than any university in europe ndi kumati asilam osaphunzira aslam we do all the research from Quran amalawi ambiri film kutali ndi maphunziro Allah akuwonjezereni knowledge

  33. As much as i know this government sangasinthe decision yomwe apanga becoz of muslims. Ngati akufuna asilamu angomanga school zawo ana awo aziphunzira nkumaweruka nthawi imene akufuna.

    1. If that is the case we agree on condition:tell what you call your government not to collect taxes from Muslims
      .we use those money instead for building schools simple to one Ngati kaboma kanuko sikagwa

    2. Iwe #Kapachika uzikhala ndi nzeru polankhula.Government schools ndiyawina aliyense coz ndalama zomwe amangira masukulu amenewo imakhala misonkho ya mMalawi aliyense.Komanso ukadakhala oganiza bwino,ukadawamvera chisoni ana komanso aphunzitsi,tangoganiza from 7.30am-2.00pm Kodi iwowo ndakapolo? Ndalama zomwe amalipira ndi zochepa

    3. ukadadziwa sukadanena ase n palibe boma limene likutukuka fast palokha loposa mangoch,,,, timavomeleza kut ndife mbuli kma kukhan yandala sizimatisowa, n nchawayo akulemera osanda xul pamene iwe wa xul uli kalilik kufuna tchito,,,,shame on uu!!!

  39. Muslims i support them totally because spendindi more time at xool its not the way of improving educatin rather 100% Education killing theory they have introduced in. They dnt know what is teaching and learning matters, teachers have to have preps for the next day’s lesson and many to do about their duty . Muslim should go ahead with this point

    1. Kumpusa kwa Malawi Mmaona Ngati kuphunzira nkudziwa chizugu basi ndiizi chifukwa cha umbuli mukusiyanitsa madrasah ndi school you don’t know that they mean one thing the difference is language.

  45. Either I didn’t went to teachers training but I still remember the way I gotten tired in my junior classes, that is not the way of improving education yet those teachers sometimes they just play in the office and their lesson is in, so how they can finish the syllabus in time? We are farmers kummawaku timalima ndi mphamvu but if time rises closer to noon, how tired we are? So just imagine the one who seated at one place for a couple of time, they gonna feel like how? Definitely exhausted arising too. Plenty please can you improve education in other way?????

    1. Kodi mumaona ngati asilamu ndi osaphumzila? Kapena zimakuvutani kusiyanisa achiyao ndi asilamu Ine ndi wachisilamu koma ndiophunzila mwina kuposa iweyo nde umbuli uli pati mumaona ngati ukhakhala christu nde kuti ndiwophumzila ,mpingo ndi wina kuphunzilanso ndi story zina

    1. I ddnt read the whole article..i jus replied to what they’ve postd apapa…komabe its all the sem,,,no teachr is willing to commit themselves to that extnded work periods

  48. b4 z came up wf such development z govt shud ‘ve consulted pple if its gud idea 2 increase z periods,now z just do it,most of primary skol teachers dnt stay around skol yard so knoking off around 2.30pm zen walk back home 2late,writting lesson plans 4 next day wont b easy evn some of pupils in rurals areas travels 50km to nd 4m,zat means evn learners ‘ll b tired daily,’ll z pay attention next day lessons?some ll just absent zmselves

  49. Anthu ena mmayankhula ngati mutu mulibe. Mwana wa primary kumukhazika ku school nthawi yaitali sikupititsa maphunziro patsogolo funsani omwe anapanga za uphunzitsi

    1. Iwe Chisilamu ndi kukhala mu Yao ndi zosiyana. Koma mumati ndinu ophunzira koma u can’t even differentiate religion and tribe. Pali ma priest a chiyao Malawi muno. Komanso achewa woti ndi asilamu. School zopitira kuti udzapeze ntchito vuto lake ndi limenelo, munthu umamaliza nkukhala chibwente, lol!

    2. you sir must have shit instead of grey matter as u can tell from zina langa I’m 100% mchawa but not a tailor

  50. its not only muslims who r not supporting this motive ask us teachers who r suppossed to impart d knowledge w also hate that plan without considering us its been implemented.

  51. nice move an increase in xul hrs wuld smthng to the learners. This wl kip them buzy in the xul environment hence enough tym for maximising their potential

    1. azingosewerako anawa think of a class wt one tr against 180 lnrs teaching 9 subjects a tr cycling 24km.ana aja aonongeka basi kaya boma ilooooooo

    2. Think of time for the teachers to take care of their families and time for them to prepare for the next day’s lessons(they are supposed to write lessons plan almost every day) also think of distance both teachers and learners travel to school(they commute from different distances some of them even far the where school is located), now think again of this, after having their working hours increased are their salaries also increased to match up the working hours? DONT BE AN EDUCATED IDIOT lets respect our teachers because they are the one building our future.

    3. Teaching and learning demand full concentration from both the teacher and learners,it’s not a matter of staying for many hours within the four walls of a school block.Most of the learners in Malawi go to school without proper feeding or even on empty stomaches.And we expect such learners to be in class from 7:30am to 2:30pm with full concentration,doubtiful.Let us be honest with ourselves,this move taken by this deaf government won’t improve the education standards of the poor Malawian children.

    4. Think of those poor in villages going to school without anything in thr stomach….bwana mukunamatu.i stay in Zomba and kuli school inayake standard one pupils walking about 8kms to school ndiye aziweluka 2:30?mwina kuli bwino aziwapasa ma assignment kuti after classes anawa azikakhala ndi chochita mazulo and parents should sign akalemba mwanayi assignment.

    5. Mbuzi za atsogolori zimenezo anthu ambiri mmalawi muno amakhala kumudzi ana amapita kuxool no fud why kiping dem from 7-2? malawi wa matchona ameneyo work as u earn plz

    6. Primo, learners are different intellectually,therefore, increasing learning hours does not mean that they will learn more.Ask qualified teachers or student teachers, they will help you to understand when you will look at the elements of child development especially intellectual development.

  52. am x primary teacher,I ‘ve bn in govt for 10 yrs,I dnt agree e.g. wat z govt hs done,increase no of periods ‘ll b disastrous,teachers stop teaching around 12pm z rest of periods chatting or evn go home leaving pupils copying down notes,had it z increased zea salaies may it would ‘ve worked,lets wait nd c

    1. Ok if that is the case becareful when comment bcz we muslims we dont like people who talk bad things about islam, respect our religion as we do with yours
