Dear Avudria,

I like your elaboration, my own analysis shows our teachers are not updated
and can't research enough for the pupils to understand. And one day get any
past paper let them sit on spot and have the marking guide ready from UNEB.
Not all will get 100% and this is the paper they teach. How do you expect
children to pass. A kid in Kampala P.1 can write and read better than a P.6
in rural areas. UPE has worsened every thing, before we were doing
well,free things come at a cost.

2ndly we have failed to provide an adequate support to our children as we
excessively over produce for a low income families to cope as a result
children are poorly fed and lack most nutritional food values that builds
their creativity and intelligence hence low IQ. Even sending children to
school with packed  snacks that's available at home for break fast is a
problem to parents, can I tell you children feel more hungrier than adults?
How do you expect them to concentrate. We must empower PTAs to start paying
contributions by patents for food and scholastics to be managed at school
And PTA chairman

3rdly government and other private investors have failed to bring in
sustainable opportunities to boost our communities as a such low income
that is viral

Re: [WestNileNet] Where are we heading in 2016?

[Emmanuel Data]

Dear Fellow WestNilers,

Another crucial and evident issue especially affecting the education
situation in the region is the issue of private schools who want to or have
tendencies of operating at a very low cost at the execuse of fighting
competition
Such tencies means getting low cost teachers,low cost instructional
materials hence low/poor out put inform of performance.
I think indeed  if our leaderes that we send to represent us in parliament
may not deliberate on such issues to moderate people/investors who might
not have the capacity to establish ventures like education then the problem
shall persist for generations .
Remember all these factors are inter-related meaning they affect all the
other aspects of the region economically,socially,Environmentally as well
as poliyically

[JohnAJackson]

   - If you look back at the UNEB results  from PLE, O-Level, A-Level for
   the last 10 years or so, there is nearly 80 % - 95% failure rate is schools
   in West Nile region. The same may be true for other regions outside Kampala.
   - Is privatization of education (private schools without staff) killing
   the basic fabric of education in this region? Do we have qualified teachers
   teaching in these schools?  Are these teachers paid or paid on time? Are
   teachers motivated educators? Does this massive school drop out rate
   concern politicians from this region? What are our politicians doing to
   address this problem? What is the long term socio-economic impact of this
   massive school drop out rate on our own communities in the West Nile region
   or Uganda for that matter?
   - "Chewing Mirraa"  has taken over a generation of youth not only in
   towns but reaching out into villages. "Mirraa" is cannabis. It is an
   addictive drug  similar to marijuana. Doing nothing about the propagation
   of Mirraa (cannabis) is a disaster for this region. We have seen the number
   of mental cases rising up in this region. Do our politicians from this
   region have a strategy to look at alternative cash crops which people can
   grow to earn income rather than growing Mirraa that leads to self
   destruction of our own communities?
   - We have one of the worst history of maternal health care system in the
   region. There were recent pictures taken from Arua regional hospital
   Maternity Ward where some expectant mothers lay on the floor and another
   one bleeding. Seeing these type of pictures are horrifying. What is going
   in this hospital? Is it that nurses don't care about their patients? Nurses
   and medical staff are paid because of these patients who need their care.
   Is the problem in this hospital (and others) lack of customer care? If this
   is the case, what does it take to educate nurses (medical staff) to have
   empathy/sympathy/mercy of these expectant mothers or patients?
   - Deforestation of heavily populated parts of West Nile region has
   become a serious environmental problem. If you look at areas like Terego,
   Maracha, Madi Okollo, these areas have lost almost all the natural forest.
   As our population depends on wood fuel nearly 100%, we need to step up
   campaign on *Tree Planting education.*  This may sound like a simple
   problem but we can see obvious consequences of environmental destruction.
   Rivers where we used to fish are drying up during hot season. Today you can
   jump over Enyau river during dry season. Who could accomplish this in 1970s
   or 1980s?  I am posting everyone images of Lake Chad for you guys to see
   the impact of human activity on the environment.(

[Ojoatre Sadadi]

​Dear J. A. Jackson,​

I too like you elaboration. I just looked at a satellite image over the
West Nile region for 2 different time periods, Year 2000 and 2010, the land
cover has really changed. The natural forest has disappeared. The
vegetation index is very low. That means most of the times the land doesn't
have something green/vegetation/crops etc. consequently, this signifies the
likelihood of long term severe food insecurity.

This coincides with rampant taking of drugs i.e Miraa, Marijuana, Alcohol
etc which is a social problem. I therefore really expect the Politician to
come together and work with technocrats in order to curb some of these
looming issues rather than politicizing irrelevant issues.

​Happy New Year all of you.​

Re: [WestNileNet] Where are we heading in 2016?

[Ojoatre Sadadi]

Dear Peter and Friends,

Very good question about why we're glued to Politicians. We're not glued to
Politicians but they are one of the key decision makers. Just look at the
current situations, the Politicians bring people together in the name of
changing their welfare; people listen to Politicians but not teachers,
lawyers, foresters etc. People spend time gathering for Political
Campaigns. But try to Organize a technical workshop with you vast
knowledge, they will not turn up in the numbers we are seeing on paper
these days.

Based on this obvious reasoning, I still hold them responsible for the
decisions that frustrate socio-economic development.

Ojoatre and friends

Politicians divide and rule see how hatred across  West Nile and update due
to creation of districts and constituencies eg Maracha can any one easily
get employment who is not from the same district? The same to the
neighboring districts service commissions of Arua, yumbe koboko etc you
can't be interviewed on merit or do business easily moreover the same
people being split bse of self gain? No no no the ordinary people are too
green.

 I too like you elaboration. I just looked at a satellite image over the
 West Nile region for 2 different time periods, Year 2000 and 2010, the land
 cover has really changed. The natural forest has disappeared. The
 vegetation index is very low. That means most of the times the land doesn't
 have something green/vegetation/crops etc. consequently, this signifies the
 likelihood of long term severe food insecurity.

 This coincides with rampant taking of drugs i.e Miraa, Marijuana,
 Alcohol etc which is a social problem. I therefore really expect the
 Politician to come together and work with technocrats in order to curb some
 of these looming issues rather than politicizing irrelevant issues.

Dear Peter and Friends,


Very good question about why we're glued to Politicians. We're not glued to 
Politicians but they are one of the key decision makers. Just look at the 
current situations, the Politicians bring people together in the name of 
changing their welfare; people listen to Politicians but not teachers, lawyers, 
foresters etc. People spend time gathering for Political Campaigns. But try to 
Organize a technical workshop with you vast knowledge, they will not turn up in 
the numbers we are seeing on paper these days.


Based on this obvious reasoning, I still hold them responsible for the 
decisions that frustrate socio-economic development.

Patrick and friends,

I am not really surprised for the comments about my stance that politicians
should be partly responsible for the challenges our local communities are
facing. It would be prudent if proper system analysis is done. I have been
talking from atleast obvious point of view. Look at how NAADs, NUSAF etc
who are/were the decision makers on how these projects are implemented?.
