Jadribo Victor, Gulu has a Public University, so does Mbarara, Makerere, Kyambogo, Busitema, and mention it. No body used statistics of performance of Pupils in Primary Leaving Examinations, O- Level and A- Level as a basis of Establishing those Universities. As Father Ruffino opined, No one from West Nile is dull. Do you know why students in Kampala or Mbarara perform well in National Exams?, It is because some of them have stepped in a hall of residence and seen what a University looks like. Imagine us from Nebbi, Arua, Koboko, Adjumani and Moyo who are in Secondary Schools. Some of us thought Mvara or Ombaci was the biggest thing to happen to us. But imagine the shock we got when we stepped in Makerere for the first time. Man get the list of graduands from Barrera University of Science and Technology, three quarters are Westerners. Get the list of graduands of Gulu University, all are from Luo land and get Makerere, most are Baganda. We need this University. By the way we are not sleeping, we are also looking at the problems of the decay in standards. That's why we got substantial improvements. We have enough resources to follow our issues. This Committee is different from the Father Ruffino/Achema Committee whose work to a large extent can be seen in the improvements.

We are working on that too. Learn more from the task force about what is being done about the situation. Am not giving you false hope, something is being done and these results you see here will not last long. West Nile will change and shine again. Do not lose heart! --- On Tue, 9/2/10, jadribo victor <[email protected]> wrote: From: jadribo victor <[email protected]> Subject: [WestNileNet] The Anxiety for Public University in WestNile. To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, 9 February, 2010, 18:17 I have read keenly some postings on our Net and I have been following curiously the issue of the Public University in West Nile, I had a personal Interaction with Bayo Paul from Gulu University who was in Arua propagating the Good News of the University on how to arrange a radio talkshow, I also tabled it one day for discussion in the then WestNile Peoples' Parliament "Agbatara" for both publicity and getting the views of the Masses. But the Education calamity befalling us in West Nile has diverted my good thoughts about the University. I have asked myself; since it is a Public University, how many sons and daughters of the reagion will be admitted due to the seemingly persistent poor performance. I think we should concentrate more on addressing this eminent calamity before dreaming of a white Elephant which will be in our region but not for us. I was talking to Fr. Rufino in the States about the poor performance and he incinuated that to talk about the poor performance in our region better, we should start from the premises that "No Westniler is dull" and then we shall be able to arrive at a solution. In the same spirit, am requesting the West Nile Foundation to seriously start both an Investigation and a Research in to this problem so that we shall be worthy for the Public University in our Region. -----Inline Attachment Follows----- _______________________________________________ WestNileNet mailing list [email protected] http://orion.kym.net/mailman/listinfo/westnilenet % WestNileNet is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
