*Task Force for Improving Education in West region* If we are serious about sloving the problem(s), I would strongly encourage us to look into forming a task force to address the issues of performance in schools Academic discussion without conclusive action plan is not "Proactive Problem Sloving Skill".
I would like to encourage those of us on the West Nile Net to seriously look at the possibility of creating a "Task Force for Improving Acedemic Performance in Schools" In West Nile region. Engaging ourseleves in effective problem solving is a better way to go rather than mindering around the problem.
