Dear all,
Recently we show the departure of one of celebrated education managers, late
Abiriga. We are all aware that from since he tired, the standard and
performance of that school (st. Josephs' College, Ombachi) has been
deterioting. This to me, and I believe to many of you clearly shows the
relationship between good management/administration and performance (academics,
behavior, morals).
When his successor, Mr. Juruga Augustine also retired, the Ministry did not
send a substantive head teacher to the school. Two deputies were instead sent
there by the Ministry. On the wisdom of the then BOG, one of the two deputies,
Mr. Akuma was then appointed as the head teacher. Many of us have been
following up events in the school and have discussed some of the negative
points either on this forum or in phone in view of finding corrective measures.
Some of the pronounced shortcomings of Mr. Akuma as noted by many including the
teachers in the school have been the following:
1. Establishing, sustaining and working through a clique - it is
reported that he has established a clique from among the teachers and visibly
prefers to work through this clique. This has created an environment of
suspicion among the teachers.
2. Being conspicuously absent from school most of the time - it is
reported that he is not at school most of the time and seems to have frozen the
working of systems during his absence. This is exemplified by incidences where
nothing moves when he is absent and when the deputies or other heads of
departments initiate any transactions (financial or non financial), it
is challenged by some of the executors, notably the bursar, caterer etc
3. Not cooperating with his deputy head teacher and other heads of
departments - it is reported that the deputy head teacher, posted by the
Ministry is very frustrtrated and contemplating seeking transfer way from
Ombachi due to the poor working relationship between him and the Mr. Akuma.
In the recent transfer announcements by the ministry, Akuma has been transfered
to some school in Lango region. I am told he is working out ways of reversing
the transfer and is using some BOG and PTA members to do that. As OBs, Parents
and wellwishers, we have representation in those bodies and have a stake in
what happens in the school. Members of this forum are working hard to ensure
performance of our schools improve sooner than later. With the shortcomings
noted of Mr. Akuma above, I do not think it is wise for us to keep quite and
let him do what he wants to do to remain a head teacher or deputy in the
school, hence my thoughts. I would like Akile, the OBs representative on BOG
and the executive of the OBs association to take this matter seriously. It is
better Akuma is out of Ombachi if our dream to see sanity and high performance
is to be realized. This is my take. What do you say?
Ismail

This is very tragic and sad indeed. May the good Lord give the family of the
deceased strength and comfort them during this difficult moment and may the
soul of little angel RIP.
