The Independent Uganda: You get the Truth we Pay the Price
Wakiso, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | Government is going to reward the best three performing primary teachers with land titles for their exceptional work in promoting learning in government funded schools.
The three will be part of 58 teachers that will be awarded during the 2nd National Primary Teachers Conference that is scheduled to to start on September 5,2019 in Manya in Wakiso district.
Those who will emerge best at the national level will receive the land titles in one of the Jmayi Real Estates.
Rosemary Sseninde, the Minister of State for Primary Education says they are awarding teachers to show them that they are valued.
The best performing teachers were selected by a national selection team comprising different members from UNATU, District Educational Officers, Education Ministry Officials and regional head teacher’s leaders.
David Ssegenddo, the national chairman of the head teacher’s association says one of the indicators that are going to be followed is the performance of learners at Primary Leaving Examination.
“We looked at how many pupils have passed a particular subject over a given amount of time. Teachers with records of learners passing highly will made it to the list,” he said.
The teachers will be awarded for their level of professionalism, relationships with members of the community and the way they promote learning within a classroom.
Dr. Tony Mukasa Lusmabu says they decided to award primary teachers because they are the biggest work force of the country that is often left behind.
He says the awards are to encourage the country’s biggest workforce to continue building the country.
Some of the teachers that will be awarded in Kampala and Wakiso include; Irene Busingye from Kalinabiri Primary School, Kibedi Waiswa from Buganda Road Primary School, Nalukwago Elenor Martha from Budo Junior School and Ddamulira John from Kikusa CoU Primary School.
