Retaining teachers and inspiring students to become teachers is an impressive feat. Over the thirteen-year period that Bwindi Community Program has been sending students to Bishop Comboni College Kambuga, many students have followed their role models into the field of Education. Notably, the most recent of those joined the BCCK faculty in March of 2023.
James is an outstanding artist who acquired a Bachelors degree with a double major in Education and Art. After practice-teaching on his former campus, he has been hired as a teacher. The hurdle he now faces, shared with many of the faculty, is to find housing. Steadfast in his commitment to the school, he is renting in an unstable condition; not knowing if he may face the situation so many of his colleagues faced when their landlord chose to change the purpose of their apartment building to a more lucrative use.
Teachers are known to value housing stabilty over many facets of their careers in education. Teacher retention is also known to be a huge factor in the quality of education at any facility. For now, James is a perfect example of the wonderful kind of teachers that are at Bishop Comboni. They are there because it is a fine institution and they would be even happier with on-campus teacher housing!
