RE-OPENING AFTER THE WAR IN 1945
Mr.Syed Jan re-opened the school on October 10,1945,with 26 pupils and 2 teachers. The building was then under requisition and the boys were housed in the old Chinese Protectorate . Work was resumed under great difficulties--lack of furniture , lack of books , lack of teaching appratus----but the enrolment rose steadily and at the end of the year (1945) there were 121 boys and 5 teachers with classes up to standard V . In January 1946 , 53 boys were admitted , raising the total to 174. The enrolment then increased to 205 ( of whom 40 pay no fees----they were free scholars) , teachers numbered 7 , and the highest class was standard VIII . The average daily attendance had been 182.85 with a percentage of 93.68 .
The school was sorely understaffed . The waiting list of 50 were expecting to attend school , and 3 more teachers were needed . So the school could cope competently with the work that lies ahead.
