EDITOR: The New Vision of Wednesday carried the story of Oluka of Serere Secondary School, who teaches biology and chemistry.
Following the introduction of the e-learning initiative by the Ministry of Education and Sports, this village teacher has stood against adversity to ensure that the well-intentioned Government programme succeeds.
He has, using very local resources, eased teaching of sciences in a rural setting. What is the most fascinating about Oluka's story is the highest degree of innovation and resilence a teacher can exhibit in helping out Serere Secondary School.
The school stands out in the Teso sub-region as the hub of e-science learning notwithstanding the modest facilities the school had at the beginning. In view of the now emerging regional and continental opportunities in the science sector like the craze for Ugandan IT graduates in Mauritius; e-learning should be emphasised across the country so that we can address the technological divide between countries like Uganda and the developed world.
Such initiatives can, in foreseeable future, address effectively the challenges of unemployment in Uganda given that the regional success at university level in IT training so far; can further be pushed into a global success story in the developing world. E-learning should be introduced at a tender age across the country. Well done, New Vision for bringing to us change agents like Oluka!

EDITOR: The story of Oluka, a chemistry and biology teacher at Serere Secondary School is very captivating. It is unfortunate that teachers like Oluka are not recognised nationally.
