As most government-aided schools grapple with a frailly-motivated human resource machinery and an ill-funded physical infrastructural-setting, to contain the ever-increasing volume of students’ enrolment every year; Two secondary schools in Ntungamo District namely; Kyamate Secondary School and Rubaare Secondary School have put to proper office their Parents-Teachers Associations (PTA).
This PTA magic wand has been crafted out a re-energized and well organized engagement between school administrators and parents.
In the last academic year, all PTA members were called upon to contribute a paltry Ugshs 20,000 for each academic term and this financial pool has enabled Kyamate Secondary School to put up a fully-equipped Computer lab and a Boys’ dormitory recently commissioned by the First Lady Janet Museveni and Rubaare Secondary School has built a set of self contained staff quarters, a boys’ dormitory and a girls’ dormitory recently commissioned by the Ntungamo RDC Fred Bamwine.
The self-drive within these up-country folks to “walk the talk” of creating a conducive academic and physical environment for today’s child is a lesson the government and other key-stakeholders in the Education sector should pick, and the fact that it has been done under a year is totally amazing.
