Sam,
I agree with you on issue of data. I believe I should be able to extract
some data for three or four years for O and A level. I will ask our
librarian to compile it for me and I will email it to the group by Tuesday
this week.
Let us keep the candle burning.

Dear Fr. Rofino,
Thank you very much for sharing with us your emperical discussion with the
folks. In a way you were carrying out an ethnographic study on this
important subject of the persistent decline of education in west Nile. It is
one way of gaging peiople's perceptions on the problem. The approach you
have adopted is very good to open people's.
However, from a professional point of view i would like some one to really
volunteer and help us in systematically documenting the performance in some
selected number of both primary and secondary schools across WestNile for
the last five or ten years to let people especially our leaders to realise
the gravity of the problem of death of education in the region. Talking
about the problem without basic facts and figure is making our people become
complacent. Can you imagi i was told on phone from Arua this morning that in
the whole of Arua district hardly 10 candidates passed in grade one in PLE
in 2008. Surely what are the elite and leaders in westnile doing? What are
we paying the people who sit in district education for? Why do we continue
to pay the headmaster in these schools? What are the so called Board of
Governors doing in these schools when the policy and law gives them a lot of
powers?
Surely, enough should be enough! Just as every liquid has its boiling point
there must be a limit to our patience! I am sick and tired of our inaction!
This is too much!

Yes Alaka
Greetings from Ombaci. I hope all is fine there.
This morning I went to celebrate Mass at Ewadri (between Abi Farm and
Oriajini). It was nice to wish women Happy Women's day.
I asked these people at the end of Mass what (according to them) are causing
poor results in schools these days. Out of six people who talked five were
women.
a) the first woman said this could be attributed too much liking for night
dances, eating of marungi which makes their interests to be divided
b) another said she heard on the radio that teachers are poorly paid and
they dont teach.
c) another blamed the UPE USE where children are not to be punsihed
thesedays. Children misbehave, they dont respect teachers and even insult
them
d) one stated that today freedom is free. I dont know what she meant
exactly. But she continued observing that they buy kersone for these
children to study and they leave the lamps on while they have sneaked out.
Some elderly people see these children out at odd times and no body cares
about such a situation
e) another woman said that they parents cant even offer some lunch for these
children. What they could use for preparing food for them are instead sold
in the market for cash which is not used for the children.
f) the only man who spoke pointed out to the children, parents and teachers
all on the wrong.
I wish you a good sunday, happy women's day to our sisters
