Promoting Real Healthy Families: Home Economics

Research to find out problems link to poor performance in public primary schools in Kole District, Northern Uganda

In the continuous research always conducted by the team of Kole Intellectual Forum, the facts reveal that: there are so many factors those are contributing to poor performance in public primary schools and it can be from the complex interplay of issues, including inadequate resources, teacher quality, parental involvement, and school environment. Absenteeism, both teacher and student, also significantly impacts academic outcomes. They further revealed that, these challenges require a multi-pronged approach involving resource allocation, teacher training, and parental engagement; these are some of the factors drawn from the research field from different stakeholders.

Whereas, high pupil-to-classroom ratios was also noticed as that, that can create a challenging learning environment, making it difficult for teachers to provide individual attention; not forgetting issue about qualifications and experience of teachers, particularly head teachers, those are also learnt to have been those that play sa crucial role in school performance. 

Advocating for traditional marriages

At an African Context: traditional marriage that Kole Intellectual Forum is advocating for, is cherished, because, it is treated as a way to extend the family lineage and maintain social order. It is too, consider to be a union of two individuals but also the coming together of two families from different background and they should not be related to each other. Of course, family ties are highly valued in African culture, and marriage is a means of strengthening these bonds.

Although, traditional marriage focused on economic stability, social status, and having kids; modern marriage on the other hand, is more about personal happiness, emotional ties, and fairness. The move from group values to individual ones has made marriage a partnership based on mutual respect and shared aims.
