Empower a Girl: For Self-Reliance

Long ago, in Africa and elsewhere in the world; people of the community used to live a communal life; where they used to share a lot of things in common; and there were also similarities in their ways of life styles; however, with growth in technology, modernization, education; in general, the general development; ways of lives of different people living in the same community change drastically.

Particularly in education where Kole Intellectual Forum has interest in; the research reveals that: there is a big gap between the rich and the poor and the opinion leaders. In public schools with privatization of the other hand, public schools in Uganda according to the research indicated that they are entirely for the children of the ordinary people; and the rich and the opinion leaders take their children to the private schools.

To rebuild the past glory, Kole Intellectual Forum is doing all that it takes ensuring that: within its community a sense of togetherness that used to be, is rebuilt; beginning gathering the community together to the relevant education functions and events.     

Performance can improve greatly if research suggestions and recommendations are properly implemented.

Research outcome means the results and conclusions arrived at as the result of particular research activities and these include among others products, processes, experimental methods and supporting data. Typical examples of outcomes in terms of science laboratory are those things like getting cure, clinical worsening, and mortality. In actual sense, the primary outcome is viewed as a variable that is the most relevant to answer to the research question. Ideally, it should be patient-centered, that is, it should be an outcome that matters to patients, such as quality of life and survival

Although, outputs and outcomes may sound similar; but in the real sense, they have distinct meanings. For instance, outputs refer to the results of a specific activity or initiative; meanwhile, at the same time, outcomes are the overall impact or value created by those outputs. Understanding this difference is crucial for accurately measuring and evaluating initiatives.

In real relation to those above (Health matters in Health centers) the issue on the ground is that: Kole Intellectual Forum conducted a research or investigated matters on the issues related to poor performance in public primary schools in Kole District; and regrettable realized a number of courses that brought about also a number of suggestions and recommendations for proper outcomes and outputs. Among the recommendations and suggestions are attempt to revise items and activities that can build the child’s interest in education (generally speaking, the recommendation call for proper support to extra curriculum activities), motivation of teachers and educational stakeholders, equipping the schools with learning aids, and so on.

A single test piloting of one idea of these recommendations supported by the fund from donors of GlobalGiving was done by Kole Intellectual Forum at one of the worse performing school within this district and the output and outcome of the result was very positive. Performance improved greatly.  It was about equipping the candidate class with learning aids as well as equipping the scouting department with uniform and other required equipments.
