Dear Moses and John,
Like most people on this forum, I have been following discussions silently. But
with the recent (or is it for the many times again) education dilemma in WN,
indeed is a concern to all. And I like your challenge to the intellectuals.
While it is too much to ask of any of them to leave their current jobs to
"help" in the regional education, considering a paying position in the
university will be an added sense of belonging.
As I read numerous postings on this forum regarding the troubling passing
grades in the region, many thoughts roll in my mind. Of course we are proud of
our brothers and sister holding PhDs, but we do not necessarily need that for
the basic things that each of us can do. For our young intelligent upcoming
students to benefit from this university, we need to start raising the bar from
primary schools.
We know about the OBs and OGs of secondary schools, what about for the primary
schools? Because it is in primary level years where kids are developmentally
vulnerable - problems at home affecting their progress, confusing decision
making capability, lack of interest, and other forces, just to mention but a
few. While we cannot solve every problem for the kids, have we thought about
the OBs and OGs going to their former primary schools to mentor and or give
inspirational / motivational talks? If it is happening, please forgive me and
disregard this. Like someone alluded on this forum, who will attend this
university if none of our kids do not make the grades to qualify?
We all agree that, in order to make many changes in areas such as health,
environmental, agricultural, and socio-economical, it starts from or with
education. We also embrace the fact that working together can further our
efforts. Well, in the spirit of taking the "challenge", Nile Care Inc. has been
working to do just that, as far as education is concerned. Check it out on
their website www.nilecareinc.org for more details. Join us, so we can broaden
our base in helping more rural primary schools.
Thank you.
Lina

Dear John
I am so
impressed by your comment.
We have PhD
holders in this forum and a lot of people with world class analytical skills of
developmental issues. In fact I have listed 6 of those people whose
intellectual aptitude in scrutinising issues in this forum surpasses so many
that I created a special folder on my computer for all the extraordinary
discussions they opine on the forum. Just like you, I am waiting with my
fingers crossed to see how many of those who are eligible will take up positions
in Muni University as lecturers.

Richard you have said my
mind, many people in the net talk good ideas as analyse issues here in the net
with the interlectual expertise they individually have but fail to deliver.
Just imagine if these ideas were a woman the community has identified to be
pregnant and after nine months this woman doesnt bring forth a child.
.......... I think many of us lack a spirit of sacrifice, because they think of
their jobs and no one is willing to pull his/her resources to employ the sons
and daughters of West Nile who could walk the many talks they offer. I am
waiting to see? one person living his or her paying job to come down on ground
to help change the face of West Nile educationally.
