Well spoken Gilbert like the career economist. You have highlighted the
broader context in which our education system operates and particularly the
possible factors impacting performance of WN Schools in National Examinations.
The situation is quite grim and I guess our generation should grab the
opportunity to act on the broader spectrum that Gilbert has outlined. We
probably need discussions, expert support, advice, refining and right-sizing
the ideas to our capacities or capabilities but the sadly un-deniable fact is
we must act or else the geneartions to come will keep fire-fighting the same
way we are. How, where or on which point we start to act on these issues can
be determined upon agreement. WNF could possibly be one of the spring boards
for such action.
Good day.

Great Observation,
?
WestNile needs a total re-think as to how we can forge growth and development
in the region; we need to act on key success drivers and be shrewed there,
something similar to what the Businessmen are doing,?branded as "Arua Boys". We
have to creat that numbers and impact in the follow areas
?
1-Agriculture- lets lilt towards commecialization; agric success was
traditionally; tobbacco, coffee, cotton, Tea and to some extent cattle keeping-
that was Westnile, then in commercial sense. They need to be revived, bit by
bit and monitor progress
?
2- Education-Westnile has had good brains in this sector-? Can't we make these
brains 'invade'-good schools in the country; Budo, Namagunga, Ntare, Kitende,
Nanugogo etc, in big numbers and demonstrate results at home? Not forgetting
that these can generate sufficient trickling effect...but critical mass, or
better still great numbers are needed e.g many doctors , engineers, Lawyere,
Accountants, Influential Politicians, Corporate Managers-CEO's, MDs and more
guys in influencial positions- ready to creat impact and earn hefty sums e.g
UGX 5Om per month...Not for the faint hearted and excuses but work for them. We
have great work attitude but we need to drive to its complete end. THE BENEFITS
MUST BE PLOUGHED BACK TO CREATE AND ENABLE WEALTH IN THE REGION. This can
twigger so many things; high incomes-which can be used to pay school fees in
not only good schools but can also boost the local schools..the adage is' where
ever there are resources-issues
flow quickly.
?
3-Business- Proximity to boarders can a good load of benefits to be exploited;
Sudan, Congo etc..WestNilers need? to take advantage inoreder to exploit
resource & skills gaps- I can see some WestNilers in South Sudan, Congo etc in
businesses, corporates etc. Kenyans have exploited this tendency-in Congo,
Rwanda etc...they have a strong solidarity and leave a womnderful landmark
?
4-Industries and Other Service sectors- We had Adrikos and many must be
encouraged and sustained.
5-ETC
?
note: a) Need to have develop & growth agenda- disseminate to? win people's
hearts and thus preach- periodic evaluation programs.
???????? b)Above all, we must learn to channell funds more to productive
ventures rather than to promote our consumption egos.
?
and-list is endless...what is is important is to start, in our small bits, get
more pragmatic and stop lamenting...we need to show positive results my
brothers and sisters
?
Best rgds

Brethren,
I have gone through the today's Monitor list(pg 8) of A-level rankings one by
one(1-273) without seeing our prominent schools in West Nile apart from Mvara
SS which is ranked a whooping no. 187!!! I don't see Ombaci, Muni, Nyapea ?and
others and they happen not be listed - probably my eyes are getting old!!?
Tabu Butagira should probably clarify if another list exists - otherwise I see
the performance as already pathetic not withstanding the fact that the best P7
Pupil in West Nile got an agg 7.
I am very angry and annoyed. What is happening? Are we not engaging our
youngsters enough!!
