*Re: Sub-math, ICT exams for next year* .............sub-math and ICT................
Folks, "Sub-Maths" is not really Maths. It is just computational tricks. And ICT is nothing but Mathematical algorithms.No Maths, no algorithms, no ICT. What the kids need is Discrete Maths, not this lowly "analogue" sub-maths Calculus. The whole exercise is a cover to loot the country. This "Sub Maths and ICT" was cooked up as a cover for Britons and some Indians to steal money. And making ICT compulsory means making more money. And which ICT do these kids know when the Maths curriculum has been cut in half? Folks, with lowly characters like m7 or Sam Kuteesa in charge of our country that is what you get. And who is pushing A. Level "kubajja Karamoja three legged stool" if not Britons and Indian "balebeesi"/hangers-on to keep the population silly to loot. Soon Africa is going to be stolen, like Canada, if we are not careful. ========================== *KAMPALA-* Pioneer Form Six candidates of sub-math and ICT subsidiary subjects will, for now, not sit for their final examinations after the government deferred the papers to next year. According to the minister of Education, Ms Jessica Alupo, many schools have, until now not acquired equipment to facilitate the sitting of the exams. This has been compounded by the fact that most schools have no access to power, lack computers and teachers. As a result, this has forced the government to push exams for the two papers to next year when the next lot will sit. The minister’s remarks come after critics said the government wasn’t ready to implement the policy. “It is true ICT was made compulsory but the policy was adopted with the view that computers would have been distributed to all schools by the time pioneer students sit for their papers, but we didn’t have the intervention,” Ms Alupo told Daily Monitor in an interview. “For this academic year, sub-math and ICT will not be part of the subjects to determine any candidates’ results.” *Decision taken * “We have taken a decision that they would not be compulsory until next year. We hope by the end of next year, all schools would have been taken care of.” Earlier, the Makerere University academic registrar, Mr Charles Ssentongo, said the Public Universities Joint Admissions Board had issued a new criterion to candidates following the directive scrapping four principal subjects. The maximum points a candidate could score reduced from 25 to 20. However, the latest development leaves candidates with a maximum of 19 points to join any of the five public universities on government scholarship. Ms Alupo said the ministry would still have to consult National Council for Higher Education and National Curriculum Development Centre to see how they could exclusively train ICT teachers. *[email protected] <[email protected]>*
