Dear All, Ombaci can no longer produce 80 first grades with not more than Aggregate 6????!!! I just feel such pain in me to see an institution like Ombaci declining into academic performance obscurity.This is not the Ombaci I knew and used to envy to join!!
Surely, too many fundamental things have gone wrong in these historical institutions of education in West Nile. Fundamentally, poor pay of teachers that has a multitude of effects; worn out infrastructure; outdated textbooks, poorly equiped laboratories; Unexposed teachers in the ever changing Global Village; the sudden shock we need to cope with in terms of technology changes pouring into Africa; and too much freedom nowadays in schools have all hampered our performance in one way or another. More importantly, our current students do not have a self drive of what they really need to do in order to meet challenges of this ever changing world. In respect to lack of self initiative, our students do not really have role models to emulate in order to provide an impetus for hard work.There is no collective and individual constructive competition between schools and among students of the same school and other institutions. All these attributes have vanished without trace among the current generation. The above attributes were latent forces for our generation to compete and work hard in order to excel, and these constructive tendencies paid there dividends, the reason some of us are what we today, albeit amidst poor teaching and all other odds we went through. Even if one is spoon fed, as long as the self drive is lacking, we shall be wasting resources!! A big, big time change in attitudes needs to sweep through the young generation. Morals and morals have eroded our societal fabrique and morals have huge impact in sharping the charater and attitudes of people. It is very,very sad indeed that the whole of West Nile can perform at this pathetic records and yet these used to be first grade results of Ombaci ALONE!!! These results are for sure so depressing, I have lost pride of that region in academic performance terms. Good luck everybody in coming up with lasting solutions.
