1.1 Class Size The Regulation Order No. 44 of 2005;

 is 1:25 for a junior secondary school (years 7 - 10) and 1:25 for Years 11 – 13/14 that inform us that at least a total of 25 pupils should be enroll in each year level (Years 7 – 13/14).

 2011 total enrolment is at: 1,617 (828 females & 789 males)  Projected school population age

is at: 6,725  GER is at: 25%

 488 pupils per school is estimate using total acceptable age divided by total number of schools in that province

 75 % still need to be in school in this province

 Indicator of 488 pupils per school is too crowded for Penama Secondary school because a complete secondary enrolment for all 13 schools is at 1,525.

1.2 Standard Size The Regulation Order No. 44 of 2005:

all Penama schools should be 1,525 pupils according to the regulation order 44 of 2005 if we are to include 25 x 4 classes x 9 schools = 900 (7-10); 25 x 6

2011 enrolment of 1,617 subtract the standard enrolment for all 13 schools 1,525 is telling us that Penama Secondary Schools is overcrowded by 92 pupils.

Therefore if we are to include the exact age population to attend a secondary cycle, an estimate of 1,037 spaces is needed.

To be able to accommodate the
