Jackson, Thanks for this very important research document from Fr.Dr.Picho.Much as the research covered Yumbe,i think most if not all of the findings cut across other Districts especially issues like absenteeism by teaching staff,parental negligence,indiscipline,poor Head teacher-teacher relationship etc are common aspects in most schools.For instance finding from Nyoko are more less the same with most Schools in Obongi in Moyo, Udupi,Uriama and Omugo in Terego,Yivu in Maracha,Kuniro in Koboko etc.If i can recall years ago some of these gaps were raised in this forum and were not given attention to and i believe this could be the time to analyse Fr,Picho;s findings further and objectively tackle where possible.On some personal note i have being sending some end of Month or term exams from some of the primary School from Kampala,Entebbe,Mukono(e.g Savio,Namilyango Jr,Namagunga etc which to some extent has helped improve perfomance to some extent though there is still the challenge of appropriate ability of some teachers in skills orientation. I am tempted to say that there is very minimal supervision of education sector by the responsible District heads and i do not know whether the DEO;s and inspectorate of schools are effective and efficient and some one will eventually concur with me that some of these people have over stayed in these positions without positive results that they don't deserve to be there and are no transfers of DEOs especially Arua sorry if i have mentioned in particular district.You see instead of these people visiting or inspecting schools,the HMs visit them ironically,so what do expect,God help us The stifled foundation stage education in the primary school impacts greatly to the upper levels and if those gaps are not fixed, then we expected more cries with some severe repercussions that the likes of Fagils call mediocre which shall be Well when it comes to the ailing education and health matters of WN, I am tempted to write much,please ignore the grammar and pick necessaries Thanks --- On Sun, 3/3/13, JohnAJackson <[email protected]> wrote:
