BUSHENYI DISTRICT PROFILE

BUSHENYI DISTRICT


Bushenyi District is a district in Western Uganda. Like many other Ugandan districts, it is named after its 'chief town', Bushenyi, where the district headquarters are located.
Bushenyi District is bordered by Rubirizi District to the northwest, Buhweju District to the northeast,Sheema District to the east, Mitooma District to the south and Rukungiri District to the west. The largest town in the district, Ishaka, is located 75 kilometres (47 mi), by road, northwest of Mbarara, the largest city in the sub-region. 











Education Department                                                                                  
Before the split of Bushenyi District (the Greater) the sector had a standing record of one of the best performers in the country as per Primary Leaving Examination (PLE) results ranking and the reports and findings of the National Assessment for Progress in Education (NAPE).  This achievement was attributed to the unity and hard work of all Stake Holders; Political Leadership, Technical Leadership, Head teachers and Teachers, School Management Committees (SMC), Parent Teacher Association (PTA) and foundation bodies.  We salute all of them for making the sector realize that high performance level. 
In the just concluded NAPE findings of the year 2009 Bushenyi District was ranked among the best perfprmers (P3-P6) in numerancy and literacy.  The challenge or carrying this mantle of excellence however lies on Bushenyi District (The new look) as it maintained the name.
We are currently adjusting on approach so as to fit in the new demand and keep the light of success burning.

 PROJECTS/ACTIVITES
  1. (i) THE THEMATIC CURRICULUM
The shift to the teaching using the thematic curriculum approach has not been comprehended by the community.  Many think it means teaching vernacular and in vernacular thus abandoning English which we are used to as a yard stick to measure these who have gone to school.  This approach emphasizes medium of instruction being local language in the lower classes (P1-P3) and a   shift to English as medium of instruction in the upper classes (P4-P7).  At both levels the other approach allows mastery in language and understanding of concepts and content better.  Teachers have been taught how to carry out   instruction using this approach and text books have been distributed to schools by Government.

  1. (ii) CECOD (CONSERVATION EFFORTS FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT) BUSHENYI
The concept of “Education for sustainable development” refers to an expanded Vision of Education guided by the principles and values of respect  for the environment and society.
CECOD-Bushenyi has in collaboration with the sector established an Echo-     schools programme addressing the issues of Environment in schools.  Echo-       schools committees have been formed in all participating schools.  A mobilization/sensitization exercise was carried out in the month of September 2010 with great success.  This exercise was carried out by the programme officer CECOD- Bushenyi and the coordinator.  The schools participating in the programme are:    
  • Kabingo Model P/s                 Kyamuhunga
  • Kyamuhunga Central school   “
  • Kyeizooba P/s                         Kyeizooba
  • Rwentuha P/s                          “
  • Mungonya P/s                         “
  • Birimbi Model                         Nyabubaare
  • St. Andrews Kigoma              “
