In a related story Kyembogo primary school was over whelmed with joy as they welcomed the RIC-NET staff with serious hand claps at an assembly arranged by the school management. The deputy headteacher was grateful and thanked RIC-NET for such an initiative saying this has given the pupils courage to know that their pieces were marked by highly qualified teachers who mark PLE as narrated to them by the RIC-NET represantive.
They were happy and promised to continue participating in whatever other challenge that may come up.
RICNET and RWECO, you have challenged the so many actors who have downplayed the UPE graduands for not being competent enough to express themselves. You have also shown the spirit of inspiring the young generation to participate in policy debates going by the topics that were discussed and or painting of the picture stories by the pupils. Could you make some further steps bring that story to the attention of the leaders!!!
