How do you grade the classrooms and toilets in your child's school?
BACKGROUND
According
to a story reported by Uganda Radio Network (URN) in February this year, Pupils
at Kitoma Primary School, Kibaale district are being forced to study under
trees in the school compound for lack of enough classrooms. Kitoma Primary
School is a government aided Universal Primary Education (UPE) school.
The lack of classroom space has forced teachers to conduct lessons under mango
and avocado trees. Teachers argue that this learning environment is partly
responsible for the poor performance of the pupils. It is not
unusual to also find private schools with poor structural facilities like
toilets and classrooms. In June alone, 97 schools in Lwengo were closed, and 13
in Mbarara for having poor infrastructure, like lack of toilets, unsafe toilets
or crumbling classrooms.
