Power cuts affect learning

In a village in Suffolk electricity outages have caused chaos and frustration to the point that one high school which is prepared its students for O level and A level exams is struggling to ensure that learning is not discontinued.
In Stowupland which is close to Stowmarket the power crisis has affected over one thousand and six hundred electricity consumers including the residential area and the high school where learning has been greatly inconvenienced.

To cope with the situation, at Stowupland High School the school administration has had to send some lower grade students back home to make room for the older students to occupy the classrooms which have the most natural light.

The examinations that are currently being taken include the sciences in the O levels as well as Cantonese and German. The A level exams being taken include maths, geography, ethics and philosophy.

A Suffolk County Council spokesperson disclosed that they were trying every means possible to keep parents and guardians abreast with the developments. The spokesperson added that the underground cables were still waiting to be repaired and it would take some time before the power supply was resumed. In that regard the students taking exams on these days would use classrooms with the most natural light.

A spokesperson for EDF Energy Networks, Rajan Lakhani, disclosed that the company had sent apologies to the affected consumers. The spokesperson attributed the power interruption to a complication that arose on the local high voltage network. He added that one of the generators was also causing problems.
