The poor performance of pupils in
the P.L.E mock exams in Arua Municipal has been attributed to the incompetence
of teachers.
Speaking during teachers’ conference on P.L.E mock results on Saturday, the
chairman Arua Municipal Academic Board, Mansur Ramadan blamed the teachers for
not believing in themselves and their incompetence citing an example of a
teacher who applied for marking and failed to answer English examinations as a
pre- test for Markers.
The center coordinating tutor for
Arua municipal council, Loice Andema said the poor results exactly reflect the
weakness of the district, teachers and all stakeholders in the education
sector.
She said there is a lot of
commitment by teachers in completing the syllabus but the poor results indicate
that something is lacking which must be fixed before the forthcoming final
P.L.E exams.
On the official release of the mock
results, the Principal Education officer Arua Municipal council Joachim Ozimati said the
general performance was not very good, with the same private schools leading.
Out of 1985 students who sat for mock in 21 schools, 37 passed in Division 1
which gives a percentage of 1.86% ,270 in Division 2, with 13.6%,147 in
Division 3 with 7.40 % and 327 in Division 4 1with 6.4% while 85 did not
sit for the Mock. Over 50% of the students got grade U which he said has been
translated in Division I, come the finals and these are among the total
failures.
The best performing schools were
Christ the King primary school passing over 99.9% with 10 in Division 1, 37 in
Division 2, 2 in Division 3 and 2 in division 4 with a total of 51
students, followed by Bright Horizon with 97.5% with 7 in Division 1,13 in
Division 2,9 in Division 3,6 in Division 4 and 6 in U with a total of 36
students ,the Third was Corner stone primary school 96% passing in division
1,30 in Division 2,8 in Division 3,6 in Division 4 and 2 in U with a total of
53 pupils.
The worst performing schools were
Najjah Islamic primary with no pupils in Div 1,2,3 3 in Division 4 and 51
in U with a total of 57 constituting 7.7%,Arua parents with no pupils
from Div 1 to 3,4 pupils in Div 4 and 77 in U with a total of 98,4.1%.
The least school was Asuru primary
with no grade 1 to 3.2 in Division 4 and 47 in U,4 in X with a total of 53
students 3.80 %.
The best performed subjects were English, followed by
Mathematics,SST and Science was the worst.
The municipal inspector of schools,
Mr Ombere Raymond said it is unfortunate that the private schools are the best
performing schools which he said translates what is going in the schools.
Ombere said the government is
pumping money in schools through the UPE but the results are showing negative.
He however concluded that there is
still time to improve and this needs a lot of Commitment and tasked the P7
teachers to be focused, concentrate seriously and revise with the pupils from
lower primary and give necessary tips for the learners.
There has been a drastic improvement
in results of schools within Arua Municipality since 2009 according to records,
in 2009, the performance was 7.6%, In 2010 it rose to 9.1% and last
year it was 10.9 % and this year the target is 20 % according to the
Principal Municipal Education officer.
