The Chairperson of Head Teachers for Islamic primary schools in both private and government-aided sectors in Mbarara City and Mbarara District, Musoke Uzair, who is also the headmaster of Biharwe Muslim Primary School, has announced that head teachers from Islamic primary schools gathered to exchange ideas on enhancing academic performance.
Musoke urged Islamic parents to prioritize quality education for both boys and girls and to move away from the outdated practice of marrying off girls at a young age. Instead, he emphasized the importance of focusing on higher education.
Musoke made these comments while addressing the head teachers of both private and government-aided Islamic primary schools at Kariro Muslim Primary School in Rubindi during a peer general meeting (PGM) held at Kariro Muslim Primary School, Rubindi, Kashari North, Mbarara District.
The Chairperson of the Mbarara District Head Teachers Association and the head teacher of Rubindi Boys Primary School, Rubindi Mugarura Robert, who officiated at the closing of the meeting, praised the head teachers of Islamic primary schools for their cooperation with parents, which fosters teamwork to improve academic performance.
He noted that when teachers collaborate with parents, students benefit more, as problem-solving and achievements are addressed collectively.
Ms. Tumuhairwe Alice Hafisa, head teacher of Kariro Muslim Primary School Rubindi, reported that the quarterly peer general meeting for Islamic head teachers was conducted successfully, with a focus on evaluating teacher and head teacher performance.
Additionally, Ms. Tumuhairwe Alice Hafisa announced aid from the Turkish government, facilitated through the Uganda Muslim Supreme Council, for the construction of a borehole to help address the water scarcity issues at the school.
