Re: [WestNileNet] Where are we heading in 2016?
Dear Richard
Thanks so much this forum is more than enough to enlighten our people, but
to be more proactive needs active implementation not like presidential
debate where over 60% will not watch and listen anything because of lack of
social media attention

Re: [WestNileNet] Where are we heading in 2016?
Hey Cliff,
I like your commends. It all boils down to empowerment of people to take
ownership of their lives and decision making process. This empowerment
comes by training and community action on problem solving
- we are all stakeholders in poor performance in schools { Parents,
Teachers, Students, Administrators, PTA, etc.}
- It is true that many parents do not care about what their
child/children learned in school each day. Many parents in that category
are incapacitated by their own lack of education. Many other parents are
preoccupied with everyday struggles. Some working parents head to drinking
joints every evening instead of working or watching their their do homework.
- For many people the job of teaching rests in the arms of school
teacher/s. Whatever they do in the classroom, they do not care. We could
blame everyone in the education system starting from PTA, Head teachers,
Inspectors, Education officers, Ministers, etc.
- My posting is to "stimulate intellectual discussion around the problem
of poor performance in schools". What can we do at local level to turn the
wheel around? There are many practical things we can do without involving
"politicians". These folks spend most of their time either in the
parliament or where-ever or whatever they do. We only see most of these
folks every five years when they need our votes.
- We can discuss this topic in many circles: at work with friends,
drinking joints, at church, Talk show on radio/TV, etc. Let's figure some
way to reach at the grassroots level where the the impact of this problem
lives every day. We may not fix every problem.
- Sharing positive ideas is the way we learn from each other. This is
human phenomena of learning. There are things I may know that you do not
know or vise versa.

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.

Re: [WestNileNet] Where are we heading in 2016?
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?. *Sadadi* On Tue, Jan 5, 2016 at 9:41 PM, Gatre Patrick wrote: > Dear Mr. Ojoatre, > Ur analysis about mindset of the locals suites local situation.

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 the same district? The same to the neighboring districts service commissions of Arua, yumbe koboko etc you can't be interview on merit or do business easily moreover the same people being split bse of self gain?

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

Friends Am wondering to date as to why we are desperately glued on politicians as if they bring food into your plate. We have available land not all politicians are professionals who can change your life . we just need security to all life and business competition only. Most politicians are poor and you will see an MP over spending beyond his capacity after retirement he can't even understand how they can advice a poor person to cope up. It's the poor who vote wrong people eventually they suffer with poor services. Parties have become like soccer funs and a way of sourcing external funding to manage campaigns and satisfying one self.

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.

Re: [WestNileNet] Where are we heading in 2016?
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 Regards Data Emmanuel On Jan 5, 2016 5:25 PM, "Peter Odama" wrote: > 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.

Re: [WestNileNet] Where are we heading in 2016?
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 On Jan 5, 2016 8:04 PM, "JohnAJackson" wrote: > >- 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.
