SCHOOLS     HISTORICAL   

After independence in 1962, many new primary schools were built all over the country. The existing secondary schools were enlarged to take in more students.

And many new secondary schools were built. The nature of educational expansion between 1962 and 1970 can be shown by the following figures.

In 1962, there were 28 government grant-aided secondary schools. By 1970, there were 73 secondary schools. The enrolment of secondary schools at 0-Level was 1,991 students in 1962.

By 1970, there were 29,540 0-Level students. To the above secondary schools were added many private secondary schools built by individual people, which produced very many students.

Below are some of the prominent schools of the 1960s.
