A well-rounded collection of qualified teachers has once again enabled Kampala Parents’ School achieve impressive results for the Primary Leaving Examinations.
Kampala Parents’ School principal Daphne Kato speaking at an exclusive interview acknowledged that quality teachers were a winning tool that helped them record a 100 percent pass rate in the 2015 primary leaving examination released on Tuesday.
“Dr. Sudhir has provided everything that a child needs to study and excel. We have also got qualified teachers who love what they do. As a school we work together with our teachers, parents and pupils to see that our children do well in and out of class.”
Capacity building of their academic staff is a key programme for KPS management. The school not only aims at recruiting the best teachers but also ensures they evolve with the changing times and adapt to different pupils’ needs.
Mr. James Makanda, the head of Social Studies department added, “Our teachers worked hard and finished the syllabus in second term so we used the 3rd term to revise. We worked as a team and also carried out continuous assessment meetings to know up with our pupil’s performance trends. We then did revisions with our pupils.”
Kampala Parents managed to attain 178 first grades and 80 second grades (out of 258 pupils). The highest honour, aggregate four was achieved by 02 pupils, while aggregates five, six, seven and eight were attained by 06, 15, 25 and 32 pupils respectively.
Kato added: To us as a school, the way children are prepared is vital and we take it serious by insuring that our pupils have everything they need to study.
We did all we had to do. Parents and pupils worked hard and the teachers put in a lot of effort to see to it that the learners do well in PLE. We expected better performance and we know we are going to make it better this year.”
