IWA gives scholarships
KAMPALA
The Indian Women Association in Uganda (IWA) has given out scholarships worth sh17m to seven students of Kitante Hill School and four students of Mengo Senior Secondary School. The scholarships were awarded to needy, but brilliant students. The association chairman, Niruben Patel, handed, over 11 cheques to the students during the association’s annual general meeting at their offices on Lumumba Avenue recently.
Bishop warns teachers
KAMPALA
The Archdiocese Auxiliary Bishop, Christopher Kakooza, has asked teachers to avoid reckless conduct when doing their work. He said students, especially those in primary schools, had a tendency of copying their teachers behaviour. “Teachers pass on their mannerisms to their students unknowingly. We should, therefore, be mindful of the way we talk, walk, or even dress,†he advised.

The performance of many primary schools in the district has remarkably deteriorated, the senior inspector has said.
Stephen Katankula blamed the decline on lack of inspection among headteachers, deputies and classroom teachers. He said abrupt inspections in a number of schools led to the discovery of many anomalies. He cited teachers’ failure to make schemes of work and lesson plans. Katankula said many teachers do not keep records of their work and hardly give pupils revision tests as well as home work.
Politicians blamed
