Members, Various ideas, suggestions, observations and and some suggested solutions have been communicated by various people on this forum regarding this issue of poor education quality in West Nile. However, how we try to address this problem will depend on how plan to influence any changes to the educational quality in West Nile. As this problem is enormous and has complex interaction of the various factors, we should not be in a rush to take actions without properly understanding and evaluating the various factors and how they interact to influence the whole education system in West Nile. If we rush to begin actions without properly understanding the various factors and interaction, and their impact we may end up shooting ourselves on our own foot. Mr. Alaka has mentioned in one of his responses to Charles Male's suggestions - that they are busy organizing nightly planning meetings concerning this issue. I think we should give them time to plan the establishment of the committee, and establishment of the terms of their responsibilities (which I think is the most important step - getting a committed members who are willing to volunteer to carry out this project). As Charles Male suggested a committee of 12 - 14 committed people should be sufficient. While I am aware of some of the religious issues that may arise, we should not be bogged by that as long as we have very capable and committed people who are willing to go out and conduct hearings in each of the districts with the stakeholders to get a real picture of the problems and the views of the various stakeholders to corroborate some of the research reports the committee may have (which were posted on this forum). I think it is important for this committee to have its own independent findings in order understand the issues, factors and their interactions better. The research reports can be used as a background study to undertake the hearings with the various stakeholders. Careful deliberate planning is more important at this time I think. This problem has been built over a long period of time and it will not be addressed by rushing to quick fixes....
