Rev. Twemeire Julius, the Reverend of St. Andrews Karire C.O.U, voiced his dismay towards leaders involved in corruption, noting how it hampers the country’s development.
He expressed these sentiments during his sermon at the Thanksgiving event and award ceremony for the top performers in the 2023 Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE) at Karire Primary School. During the ceremony, Rev. Julius highlighted the misuse of authority by some leaders, who divert government funds meant for service delivery.
He commended the head teacher of Karire Primary School for their integrity and dedication, which contributed to the school’s academic improvement despite facing external criticism. Additionally, he praised the school’s boards, teachers, and parents for their unity and cooperation, which propelled the school to new heights.
Alfred Bakutana, the head teacher, shared the remarkable PLE results for 2023, where 10 students achieved first grade, 33 secured second grade, 2 attained third grade, and one reached fourth grade.
This outstanding performance led to Karire Primary School being recognized as the top school in Kebisoni town council and sub-county. Alfred thanked the government for its support and emphasized the importance of collaboration among parents, teachers, the foundation body, and school boards in ensuring effective operations. Encouraging lower-grade students to strive for excellence, Alfred urged them to focus on their education to further elevate the school’s reputation.
Hon. Bob Rugonde, an Aspiring Member of Parliament and guest of honor congratulated the students for their impressive PLE results.
He emphasized that educational success is a gradual journey requiring the combined efforts of parents, teachers, and students. He urged them to maintain this collaborative spirit to achieve their life goals.
