A mob comprising parents of pupils at Kamiigo Primary School, in Buyengo town council of Jinja district yesterday stormed the head teacher’s office with the intention to lynch him over poor results from last year’s Primary Leaving Examinations -PLE.
The parents who had been invited for the beginning of year meeting with the teachers, accused the school head, Godfrey Namuyoga of exhibiting poor performance for the past five years, which has since led to the poor quality of learners, with most of the school’s pupils failing to qualify for universal secondary education.
The parents came along with empty jerrycans which they drummed, demanding the forcefully eviction of Namuyoga from their school over failure to exhibit acceptable academic performance.
Led by the chairperson of parents and teachers association-PTA, Charles Kasayi, they decided to first lock up Namuyoga in his office.
Kasayi charged that of the 64 pupils registered for last year’s PLE however no first grade was registered, with over 14 of them failing completely.
Sam Buyinza, the area L.C.1 chairperson also says that the pupils of Kamiigo Primary School are often found collecting water from boreholes during study hours, yet the school administrators have been reluctant to address these concerns. END.
