Shilo Nile Star Nursery and Primary Day and Boarding School. Jinja, Njeru.Uganda

Shilo Nile Star Nursery and Primary Day and Boarding school has sucked its headteacher and two other teachers for allegedly failing exercises in subjects they teach.

According to the school director Mr.Okalang Robert, Teachers at the school had been subjected at  the school tests and oral intervies i English, Science,Mathematics and Social Studies which were marked without Bias, but the three  teachers failed to beat the 65% passmark that had been set.

Mr.Okalang Robert said the decision to subject the teachers to the exercises follewd a sharp decline in academic performance at the school. Some two years back, the school could produce candidates with four aggregates but this was phasing out so we consulted education specialists who advised us to assess the exercises for them in the subjects they teach. Some of these teachers scored as law as 20% in the subjects they so we had to relieve them off their duties.

The affected headteacher has been replaced by Mr. James Omongole who scored 96% an almost every exercise that was conducted .

Declinening to name the two affected teachers, the assassment of teachers shall be conducted annually to ensure that high academic studies are maintained.(From DailyMonitor )
