Future plans and wish list (max. 750 characters):
FUTURE PLANS:
WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO ENGAGING MORE SCHOOLS FROM THE NEIGHBOURING DISTRICTS FOR A WIDER COVERAGE.
WE HOPE TO UPGRADE TO BETTER BROADCAST EQUIPMENT TO ALLOW A WIDER AND QUALITY COVERAGE.
WE ARE ALSO HOPEFUL TO PUT UP A SPECIAL PROGRAM FUND TO SUPPORT FURTHER EDUCATION FOR THE BEST PERFORMERS AND POOR-BUT-ACTIVE PUPILS.
GETTING SUFFICIENT FUNDS TO FACILITATE ON-AIR PROGRAM BROADCASTS FOR A LONGER DURATION.
FACILITATING PROGRAM STAFF (COMMISSIONS AND ALLOWANCES)
REWARDING BEST PERFORMERS (INDIVIDUALS AND SCHOOLS)
WE HOPE TO CONDUCT MORE PROFESSIONAL TRAININGS FOR OUR STAFF IN EQUIPMENT HANDLING AND OPERATION.
SECURING AN ALTERNATIVE AND MORE RELIABLE POWER OPTION.
