Madam Basemera Nesta a professional teacher from Kabarole District and Mugisha Willy the
director of Rwimi Parent’s School, appeared on the ToroDev
supported live radio discussion on Hits FM called Orukurato Forum on Saturday, 24th January 2014 and discussed a topic about how performance can be improved in USE schools.
“A teacher is supposed to play a fundamental role of
being a change agent of causing a positive change towards enhancing a learner’s
performance to the thresholds. Therefore, a teacher who is to change a learner
he/she must be a trained professional, he must understand key concepts involved
in teaching, and able to apprehend issues in dynamic ways, he should be a
facilitator, a mentor. Among others.
Therefore however, teachers needs also to be motivated in terms of salaries
being paid on time, lunch provision, shelter among others that will enable them
to provide a comprehensive knowledge among learners. “This will also enhance the
performance of our children in both primary and secondary schools”. As
noted by Madam Basemera Nesta a professional teacher .
nevertheless, Nesta suggests that, parents should prepare their kids well before
they go to school, they should feed them on an appropriate good diet, talk to
them, tell them how important is to go school to attain school and motivate
them especially the primary schools children this will help them
concentrate and improve their performance.
However also, the parents have a role to play especially supporting the
performance of their children. Every parent must sit down and plan with his/
her children before sending them to school for their studies. These further
involved purchasing in time the entire school requirements and also attend the
school meetings whenever they are called to do so, this will help the school
management to plan with parents.
food and clean water for them, get some time and visit them, create a good
rapport with the child and the class teacher this will motivate the child hence
improving in his or her performance”. As reported by Mr. Mugisha Willy the
director of Rwimi Parent’s School.
schools should be emphasized by the ministry of education especially if the
children performance is to be to the thresholds among government schools, more
still, schools should bring back the law
of forcing parents to pack food and water for their children among different
stakeholders that are not limited to NGOs, donor community among others to come
up on board and support the government in improving the education sector in
Government schools”. as noted by Mr Rwamuhumbu Davis local citizen from
Kabarole District.
schools perform well because they have good supervision from their top leaders
which is far different from the Government schools; Teachers are not always
supervised to mentor and motivate them hence affecting the performance of the
children.
