Just Like My Child Foundation is continually keeping their eyes peeled for the highest quality schools in Uganda. One reason is to gather information and gain perspectives on what the education system currently has to offer in order to make certain that Just Like My Child has reasonable goals for their own education programs in Uganda. Another reason is to ensure that the Just Like My Child Scholarship Program recipients are attending the very best schools that the country has to offer. Time and time again I have heard about a primary school in Wobulenzi with a stellar reputation claiming extremely high performance levels of their pupils. I decided to go check it out. The Director of the school, Edward Canon gave me the ultimate tour. I found Wobulenzi Parents School to be very impressive by Ugandan standards. Certainly one of the best schools I've seen in the country.
Wobulenzi Parents School proudly advertises their motto.
They have a computer lab, which is a rare opportunity for children in Uganda.
The school teaches English, Kiswahili and Luganda to all of the children who attend.
The teachers at Wobulenzi Parents School pride themselves on their ability to make learning aids out of local materials.
This teacher has a degree in graphic arts. She spends a great deal of her time working in the teacher's staff room that is set up in a way to ensure ample space and materials for creating learning aids.
The director of the school, Canon Edward proudly shows me volumes upon volumes of newspaper articles that have been archived by year, so that pupils and teachers will have a reference for past events in Uganda and the rest of the world.
Wobulenzi Parents School has a fish pond that provides a source for income generation and also supplements the diets of the children. The pond is populated with Talapia and Catfish. Last year the students fished over 1,000 fish from it.
The kitchen staff at Wobulenzi Parents take great care in ensuring the children are provided ample and nutritious meals in a clean environment.
Wobulenzi Parents has a sick bay where ill children are sent to get medical treatment from a qualified nurse.
The dorm rooms at Wobulenzi Parents are kept clean and organized. The children have ample space and the rooms are designed to ensure safety in case of a fire or other emergencies.
A matron stays in each of the dorm rooms to ensure the children are kept safe and their immediate needs are met.
New classroom structures are being built to accommodate the growing number of children who wish to attend this exemplary school.
