By Editorial,
Speaker Anita Among has reiterated the necessity for the Ministry of Education and Sports to clarify the circumstances surrounding Ignatius Koomu’s decision to subject teachers to a PLE mock exam, given the Ministry’s failure to provide a statement when the issue was initially raised in March 2024.
Allan Mayanja, representing Nakaseke Central, raised concerns about the Ministry’s lack of response, noting that Koomu proceeded to release the mock exam results despite parliamentary concerns.
Mayanja highlighted disparities in the results, with the lowest-scoring teacher achieving 27% in Mathematics and the highest-scoring one reaching 92%, though he admitted not having received a copy of the results.
The Speaker advised Mayanja to obtain the results from Koomu for future reference.
Last month, Ignatius Koomu Kiwanuka, the LCV chairperson of Nakaseke district, administered PLE mock exams to 40 P7 teachers at Nakaseke Technical Institute following poor PLE 2023 results from their students. Failure could result in demotion. END.
