This is my diary about how I spent my day in Monkey Bay 8th Dec 2016. I am responsible to individuate the exams. There was one period for the exam I completed my duty until noon. There were many problems connected to education in Malawi. After two years of Secondary education, students take a national exam called the Malawi Junior Certificate Examination (JCE) in order to proceed to senior high school (form 3 & form 4) Then at the end of secondary school, students take another national exam, the Malawi School Certificate of Education Examination (MSCE) in order to proceed to college. JCE was abolished last year. Students in secondary school can automatically advance to senior school without repeating the grade. People who fail MSCE repeat to study at secondary school so that they can get better scores. I do not know the name of all of my students until now. They talked to me even when I was walking on the street. I also met my students on the street and they asked me when I got back in town. They noticed me since last year but they never asked me. Now, we are closer because we can communicate with each other. When I saw some students out on the streets today, their shirts were tucked out. They wanted to look older than their actual age and cool. I didn't call their attention for it since it was after school. but fortunately in Monkey Bay, we don't have those. I have to keep their discipline and continue to be tough. Some of my volunteer friends say that secondary school students from other areas sometimes spoke badly towards them.

- Good job! The underlined portion, "we don't have those", confused me. What do you not have? Make sure to include that in your entry.

I want to say "invigilate". Thank you for telling me.

"I am responsible to individuate..." I think you mean, "I am responsible for..." You are responsible "for" something. Ex. "I am responsible for my little sister when we are out together." Also I have never heard the word "individuate" used in this way. Typically there are people who "proctor" exams (the people who watch the students while they take the exam) and people who "grade," "score," or "evaluate" the exams (the people who correct the exams and decide how well the students did). I am American so maybe people in England or Australia say "individuate,"but I've never heard it. Nice journal entry! That's great that you communicate and connect with the students! Some studies say that just having one person who cares about them can increase student's motivation and decrease their risk of killing themselves. You have an important job!
