Luweero, Uganda — Efforts to strengthen supervision and service delivery in Uganda’s education sector continue to gain momentum as Waswa Abdulkarim Tamale, the Greater Luweero Coordinator for the Office of the National Chairman (ONC) and Personal Assistant in the office of Dr. John Chrysostom Muyingo, conducted a monitoring visit to several schools in Luweero District.
The visit reflects the continued commitment by the office of Hon. Dr. JC Muyingo, the Minister of State for Higher Education, which remains actively involved in day-to-day supervision of education institutions across the country to ensure quality learning and improved service delivery.
During the visit, Tamale inspected a number of schools in Katikamu including Abusha Junior School Boarding Campus and Bombo Muslim Secondary School located in Nemagaza. The inspection focused on evaluating the learning environment, teacher performance, and the overall progress of education in the area.
While interacting with teachers and school administrators, Tamale conveyed appreciation from the office of Hon. Dr. JC Muyingo for the dedication of educators who continue to support government efforts aimed at improving education standards. He observed that learning in Katikamu Subcounty is progressing well and that many teachers are carrying out their responsibilities with commitment and professionalism.
The visit also provided an opportunity to interact with parents and members of the school management committee at Abusha Junior School. Tamale commended parents for their strong involvement in the education of their children and encouraged them to continue prioritizing education while nurturing children with strong moral and religious values.
During discussions with the school’s director, Hajji Kalume Abubaker, the leadership highlighted a challenge concerning the shortage of Muslim teachers in schools that were founded on Islamic principles. According to the school administration, this situation sometimes forces them to recruit teachers from other religious backgrounds due to the limited number of trained Muslim educators available.
Tamale noted that the concern will continue to be raised through relevant government channels, emphasizing that the office of Hon. Dr. JC Muyingo remains committed to ensuring that education institutions receive the necessary support required to improve service delivery and teacher development.
Uganda’s education sector continues to benefit from the policies of the government led by Yoweri Kaguta Museveni and the ruling National Resistance Movement, which has created an enabling environment where both private and government schools are able to thrive and contribute to national development.
The Ministry of Education and Sports under the leadership of Janet Kataaha Museveni continues to strengthen supervision, policy implementation, and infrastructure development in the education sector.
At the same time, the Office of the National Chairman (ONC), led by Hadijah Namyalo Uzeiye, continues to play an important role in monitoring government programs and ensuring that national initiatives reach communities at the grassroots level.
Education stakeholders in Luweero welcomed the inspection, noting that such supervision from the office of Hon. Dr. JC Muyingo and ONC leadership helps identify challenges early and supports continued improvement in education standards across the region.
