Hello Aggrey and all, I have been reading some of the postings on the A level results and wanting to respond but yet holding back. I was looking forward to having a general pattern in West Nile, picking on our traditional schools such as Nyapea, Warr Girls in Nebbi, Koboko, Mvara, Ombaci, Pokea, Maracha, Ediofe and Muni in the greater Arua, Metu in Moyo etc. Some of the information I have is scanty and may not suffice as accurate. This aside, I must say I appreciate the efforts by all to sound the alarms of academic decay and seeking answers on what should be done.
It is comendeble to loud Mvara for posting good principals, I would like note that this is a combination of factors: Consistently the Mvara administration and stakeholders have been patching different approaches together: Among these, the study visits, career day, old students awards/rewards, the book drive etc in an attempt to motivate the students and teachers to improve performance. These are not exactly the most perfect approaches, but they seem to be impacting positively on the students (see below) No. of principals 2009 students 2010 students 4 principals 36 43 3 principals 65 65 2 principals 40 41 1 principal 31 18 0 principals 10 05 Best arts combinations are: HED/G - 3ABBCC, HEG/EPS - 2ABBD, HED/L - 2ABCD. Best science combination is: PEM/EPS - 5BBCC. In my opinion, this is an upward direction and can improve, but needs to be sustained by a concerted effort of all actors. We need a forum (I dont mean cyberspace) where challenges, lessons learnt, possible actions can be discussed and shared among all stakeholders including teachers, school leadership and parents. Mvara Old Students Association, has come up a think tank that is sitting to engage in such an analysis and hopefully we shall invite all who are interested at a convinient time. TIll then... Sam
