The parish priest of Munyeganyegye Church of Uganda parish in Nyakagyeme Archdeaconry, North Kigezi Diocese, Rev. Obed Tumwebaze, has challenged school authorities to use the little time remaining to prepare learners in candidate classes for their final exams.
He made these remarks on Sunday during the farewell function for primary seven pupils at Nyabugand Parents Primary School in Masya Parish, Nyakagyeme Sub County, Rukungiri District.
Rev. Tumwebaze emphasized that during this crucial time, teachers should be more accessible to students, especially during revision periods, to ensure that they grasp the material and are well-prepared for their exams. He also urged candidates to engage in revisions and form discussion groups where they can ask questions and support each other in their exam preparations.
Okiza Steven, the head teacher of Nyabugand Parents Primary School, stated that 2024 will mark the first year the school’s pupils will sit for the Primary Leaving Examination (PLE) since the school’s establishment in 2016. He explained that they have 18 candidates and have equipped them with everything necessary to succeed. He revealed that the school has already completed the semester and is waiting for the PLE.
A section of primary seven pupils at this school expressed their readiness and confidence in sitting for the PLE, as they feel well-prepared for success. They mentioned that they are engaged in revisions and forming discussion groups to prepare for the final exam.
