So, teaching is in my DNA,\u201d the 59-year-old teacher-cum-politician says.<\/p>\n<p>She says while at Parliament, she used to spare time every month and conduct lessons at the school.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Temulanda says her main drive is to boost the school enrollment and improve its performance.<\/p>\n<p>Mpigi Parents Primary School has an enrolment of 560 pupils, a figure she says is lower compared to the number of pupils the school used to have before the Covid-19 lockdown.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Umar Sekakozi, the school director of studies, describes Ms Temulanda as a good administrator, \u2018although some teachers panic whenever she is around.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course, we don\u2019t find any problem working with her [Temulanda] because she minds her business, after teaching she enters her office as a director. It is us who handle visitors and parents because that\u2019s not her role,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Molly Kesiime, the head teacher, says Ms Temulanda is a down-to-earth person and some visitors mistake her for an ordinary staff.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur director is probably the most down-to-earth person I have ever met. She interacts with everyone and listens to staff concerns and addresses them accordingly,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Temulanda, a ruling NRM member, served as Mpigi District woman representative for two terms [2011-2016 and 2016-2021] and lost to National Unity Platform\u2019s Teddy Nambooze in the January 2021 General Election.<\/p>\n<p>She hopes to bounce back to Parliament in 2026.<\/p>\n<p><b>READ MORE:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
