Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The Aga Khan and Muni universities have launched a retooling programme for primary school head teachers and their deputies.<\/p>\n

The Diploma in Education Leadership and Management programme will see Muni University in Arua training the head teachers, while Aga Khan University will provide the scholarship.<\/p>\n

Launching the programme at Muni University at the weekend in Arua City, Associate Prof Fr Epiphany Picho, said the training will improve the leadership skills of the head teachers in the West Nile Sub-region.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a befitting programme for our headteachers because it has been developed arising from a needs assessment from the field. It\u2019s a product of research, not guesswork,\u201d Fr Picho, the deputy vice chancellor of Muni University, said.<\/p>\n

He said the National Council for Higher Education has approved the programme.<\/p>\n

At least 35 head teachers across the sub-region will be trained in the first cohort.<\/p>\n

Ms Sally Adania, the headteacher of Niva Primary School in Arua City, and one of the students, said the programme will guide her on effective teaching and learning.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn many of our schools, we look at examinations as a basis for the learners to pass, forgetting what we give out to learners at times hasn\u2019t been taught before. This programme has come to enrich us, before we assess learners, we need to have thorough teaching,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Dr Jane Rarieya, the dean of the Institute for Education Educational Development, East Africa at Aga Khan University, said a year ago, they commenced a similar programme in Tanzania and Kenya, and it has been helpful to the schools.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhilst many leadership programmes focus on developing leaders\u2019 administrative skills, this diploma programme aims to develop school heads as leaders of learning,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The Arua City Education Officer, Mr Raymond Ombere, said the training will also address the country values, which are cherished but diminishing at the moment.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the sad realities….is that many of our educational leaders don\u2019t know that the functions for which our schools exist. This is why in some schools, the head teachers focus more on doing exams. Some give from 15 to 20 exams to one class and you wonder when these children learn what you are examining,\u201d Mr Ombere said.<\/p>\n

He said the course will benefited primary school heads and their deputies.<\/p>\n
