Retain Teachers in Uganda School for 650 Students

Schools are closed for a second time but good news reached Bishop Comboni.  The exam scores for the  2020 UCEs (National Exams for the S4 level/high school level) were published.  Bishop Comboni is the #1 school in the District.  This is a tribute to all the dedicated teachers and hard-working students that they inspire.  During a pandemic, this is a huge feat!

The top students were sitting in their home villages when this was announced.  The administration made certain that the results were delivered to them.  The joy was amazing!  It was inspiration to wait a bit longer to pursue the next steps in their education.  Students are now confident that this wonderful school has served them well.  Their hard work and the excellent teaching skills at Bishop Comboni have paid off.

These excellent teachers have even more reason to rejoice.  They have the evidence of the care level at Bishop Comboni in the foundation of the future teachers residence that is in the ground.  They chose the site and now await the construction.  This pandemic will end.  Schools will return to normal and they will be rewarded with an even better situation - when those housing units are ready for occupancy.

The unfortunate scene of lots of schools being offered for sale in Uganda points to the peril education is facing.  We are very grateful for the solid footing of Bishop Comboni.  These teachers will return to the classroom (hopefully soon), dedicated to making the 2021 academic year as good as the 2020.  We hope that the erection of housing will make it even better.  Kudos to all for a fine performance during the 2020 academic year that is finally ending.  It is closing on a very positive note!
