  1. This is really true
    I am student of WASS and I have experienced all this issue in the school. We paid for teacher motivation, exams even the chairs that we are sitting on and because the school is not having boarding that’s why most of the students performance is very poor sometimes, I reaches school around 9:30am due to traffic and the white uniform that we are using for school too because of trotro the time you will reach school then your school uniform will be dirty
    So please we need help, we the serious students will be affected even some students are even smoking weed in the bush with any no authority. We really need a huge help, hope my message will reach you people thanks.
