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.

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.
MAN-POWER (HEADQUARTER)
Current office bearers are as follows:
We are currently understaffed lacking an Inspector of Schools and an Education Officer (Special Needs).
FIELD STAFF:
There are 127 Government Aided Primary Schools in the new Bushenyi District. The schools are manned by a strength of 1129 trained teachers. The schools enrolment is spread as follows:
PROJECTS/ACTIVITES
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.
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:
The Eco-school programme is currently on course.
(iii) SECTORAL PROJECTS
District Stadium- We have embarked on completion of phase 1 including construction of a drainage channel, pitches and planting grass during Fy 2010/11.
VIP LATRINES:
These are being constructed under the schools facilities Grant (SFG). The construction which started in Fy 2009/10 has been carried forward to this financial year due to challenges in the procurement as well as project implementation processes.
JAPANESE GRANT (GGP)
Schools constructed under this project were completed and handed over to the communities by His Excellency Ambassador Keichi Kato of
