Many thanks for sharing and God Bless. Did the initiative of one computer per
child, The Green Computers , which was /still is a UN initiative and at the
time Jamahariya was the country that put funds towards that programme for
children in the developing world including the production and model, I believe
the programme is still ongoing. Other programmes you might find useful and
probably allready are linked to are the scvhools link programme , a Dfid ,
Development Education Association initiatitive . Check www.cdcgroup.com,
www.dfid.gov.uk, www.au.int, www.eac.int,

Subject: [WestNileNet] 97% of p.7 in nebbi cannot speak a sentence in English
Dear all,
I was just reading in todays new vision that 97% of pupils in P.7 in Nebbi and
Zombo cannot speak a sentence in English and my attention was drawn to this
because it is not just an isolated case and therefore not a nebbi and Zombo
issue but something across the region if not beyond. This is a very embarrasing
situation for our region. I know many factors have contributed to this right
from family level upto government but surely our leaders in the region need to
wake up. One cannot be a DEO in such a place, his children are studying in
kampala and is happy to sit in such an office and get such reports. some of us
only came to see kampala when we came to the University meaning we studied
primary and secondary all in this region which now cannot offer any sensible
education to our children, what a shame, it is not long ago that we were there.
We now have a public University in the region and with such quality of
education, we may remain to admire
people's children in the University instead of ours joining the same
institution and competing like we did. I was also happy to read in the same
paper, the youth leader of Ambeku in Pajulu, Arua district beating up young
girls who had gone for disco in Onduparaka. Much as I dont believe in beating,
it passed a lesson. These girls cannot concentrate in class and they soon get
pregnant in this holiday and the next thing we hear that she has died while
delivering a baby.We need such leaders who can put the community to task.
Atleast let us solve problems within our means and be defeated with those we
cannot handle and then we can hold other people accountable. West Nile region
need to wake up from this long sleep and out an end to this viscious circle of
problems. Otherwise this generation which has a good number of people in big
offices will go and there will be no replacement and that will be the end of
the region. Even those whose children are studying
in the so called good schools reach University and come out without a degree
just because of drinking and other lousy issues after spending lots of money on
them. They have no sense of responsibility and all they know is having fun.
Very disappointing
Christine
