The Chairman Teso Parliamentary Group (TPG) and Usuk County MP has purchased a brand new Riso printing machine worth 16 million shillings to help primary and secondary schools of his constituency in printing exams.
Hon Bosco Okiror who handed over the machine on Saturday 22nd January 24, 2022 said this will help the 22 primary schools and two secondary schools in his County improve academically. He said schools in Usuk have been lacking this equipment hence making learners miss tests and go for final exams only.
Okiror said for education to improve in Teso, leaders must start mindset change education which will enable the communities achieve better results.
The meeting that comprised of opinion leaders, civil servants, elected leaders and head teachers in Usuk County was held at Aojabule primary school in Usuk Sub County.
The District Education officer for Katakwi, Angella Atim promised to deal with errant head teachers like Joseph Apokit, a head teacher of Aparisa primary school for boycotting the MP’s meeting.
‘I saw Mr. Apokit at the trading Centre seated instead of attending a fruitful meeting? I will engage him,’ Atim added.
Atim asked the MP to continue with the same spirit of providing saying, such initiatives will benefit the communities a lot.
Atim revealed the District only lost 3 primary teachers to COVID 19 Pandemic since its inception but encouraged them to work in order to achieve better results.
