WE’LL ARREST U: WAKISO DEO WARNS HEADTEACHERS AGAINST UNEB NEW DIRECTIVES

BY RICHARD GOLOOBA

SOUNDING strong and determined to implement the new directives of the Uganda examination body to arrest all school directors and headteachers for grading students who have to be registered for final examinations through elimination methods, as residuals and sell them to others schools, the Wakiso District Education Officer Fredrick Kiyingi Kinobe has vowed to take tough actions.

In attendance

He has asked parents of affected students to sue the headteachers for psychological, emotional and financial damage due to their failure to present candidateso in fear of registering failures.
“How can you admit a child for primary one all through to primary seven and then fail to present him or her for Primary Leaving Examinations, fearing that he or she will fail?” This must immediately stop and any school caught stopping students, will face it rough.

This was during the Greater Wakiso District Headteachers Meeting, hosted by Mr. Justus Mugisha, at Standard High Zana Campus.

Kinobe said, “You are busy bulldozing school management committees into signing for the release of government funds like UPE without work plans and budgets. We will not entertain sabotage.”

Deputy CAO Mr Jude Mark Bukenya warned civil servants who have refused to retire after clocking the mandatory retirement age, that there is no contracts at that age.

“What is it that you have not done in all the years of service that you want to do at 60 years? Give space for deputies to become heads.” he echoed.

The meeting was attended by DIS Thomson Kasule, Senior Education Officer William Mutashaba, Municipal Education Officers & Inspectors of Schools and other stakeholders.
Wakiso District Pre and Primary Schools Headteachers’ Association (WAPPSHA) Chairperson William Bwambale praised the unity and cooperation amongst both private and public education institutions in the district, and argued them to strengthen that through nurturing those who under performing in education, athletics, ballgames and MDD to offer holistic education to the communities.

He encouraged all teachers both private or public, retired or practising to register to enable the government screen and root out the infamous ghosts in the payroll and prepare for those effectively.

The FIFA Secretary General lauded FUFA for the hospitality and praised the federation for a commitment towards the development of football in Uganda.

She noted that, “It was an honour for me to attend the opening of the new offices and I would like to express my congratulations to the Federation of Uganda Football Associations for this wonderful building which will no doubt contribute, with the continuous support of FIFA, to the further development of football and its infrastructure in Uganda and Africa.”

The new FUFA headquarter extension houses a number of offices and was fully funded by FIFA through the FIFA Forward Programme(FFP). The new offices are just adjacent to the old building located on plot 879, Wakaliga Road-Mengo which was built under the FIFA Goal I project during the reign of Denis Obua (RIP) in 2003.

Samoura believes FUFA shares the same vision of developing the game of football like FIFA and heaped praise on the federation for the several projects.
She had this to say, “It was also a great privilege to visit the construction site of the Kadiba project in Mengo, a historical playground for many talents and the FUFA Technical Centre in Njeru, a complex that may serve as an example and will contribute to the growth of football in Uganda. Indeed, I was able to truly appreciate that we are sharing the same vision of football and its values and the same commitment of developing football at all levels..”
