RE: [WestNileNet] Task -force- Short term efforts for consideration
Hi Robert,
Thank you for your soft but analytical response to Jesca's and Titus'
submissions and most importantly the humour you injected into the discussion.
Once in a while we need such humour to lubricatebthe hard stuff some of are
used to. Once again thank you but do not be addicted to the white spirit lest
you drawn in it.

Dear All (Ladies and Gents),
The amount of discussions and preparations regarding performance improvement in
WW is getting impressive. The exchange can only be described as collosal. Jesca
B has some quite interesting points below. To me it sounds like the quest to
move faster. Bingo. SJOCO has been on motion before. The positive responses
from the suggested task force especially led by Father Ruf could be on motion
already. Members I believe Jesca's bullet points 1 and 3 can easily be set on
motion faster like SJOCO is going to.. Relatively easier activities start for
the benefit of Candidate classes.. And then bullets 3 and 4 equally need to
start atleast for the benefit of such schools like Maracha SS
whose students may be at home now. Jesca, the time "before end of year" may not
be be right. I would rather say "BEFORE MID OF YEAR 2009".
Disco's, Vedio and Waragi - Titus, don't ban or even suggest banning of
anything, for you and I still love UG Waragi. What happens if we have to visit
Alikua in August and get the thirst to sit with one or 2 PTA members. Plus our
people do not understand the word ban and it's enforcement. It gets mis-used
with so much force that loss of life and property always occur like the one you
just stated in Alikua and now the Koboko style of events. The plan has to get
grand on this matter. If we can get simpler ways of getting communities
involved in agreeing how to regulate teacher and pupil behaviour. Get them
understand the benefit of setting education as priority for their Children, i
believe it will be alright. I am not the best in suggesting how easily this can
be done. But Jesca's bullet points point at avenues to reach a wide range.

Dear Colleques,
I wish to appreciate all the efforts and ideas shared and to this I will
endevour to add my voice. Iam in no position to estimate the number of
candidates in primary and secondary , all over West Nile,who will be sitting
for their exams this year.Some of the survey and research processes will
probabaly take some time to conclude , be analysed and used to design
strategies/approaches. I want to believe that if this trend of poor performance
continues, we shall be experincing a near future, 5-15 year period with no
persons from the region in key decision making positions in this country. We
can all guess what that would mean for the development of West Nile.
Based on the performance issues already highlighted by various contributers,
What is it that we can do for the canditates who have only two terms to make a
difference? Iam glad Ombachi has St Josephs day, a great opportunity to reach,
students, parents, teachers and all the other stakeholders.Some wild
suggestions for consideration:
At lease one visit to each school before the end of year by role models and
some key figures
Utilizing School special days e.g St Joseph's day
PTA meetings, as an opportunity to discuss performance
Places of worship, need to continously remind all parents, students, etc of
their obligations and the importance of an educated generation
Events:
Special programs: e.g radio talk show, dedicated with all stakeholders taking
part to discuss the issues.
etcThis will call for sacrifice and voluntarism
Thanks
Jesca Bako Anguyo

Dear All, I want to add my voice to Jesca anguyo's own. i think it is impotrant that the core team discusses the posiibility of some short term interventions as the more complex research based infromation may likely take some time.
