Dokolo, Uganda | Parents of The Grace Nursery and Primary School have adopted new measures to enhance learning standards, promote digital skills, and ease the financial burden on families with many children.
The resolutions were made during the school’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on Friday, 3 October, at the school premises in Agwata Town Council, Dokolo District.
One of the main decisions reached was to introduce computer lessons beginning next academic year for Primary Five pupils.
Although some parents had suggested the program start from Primary Four, most agreed that learners in Primary Five were better prepared to handle computer studies effectively.
The meeting also approved a bursary initiative to support parents with several children, especially those with five or more pupils enrolled at the school.
The plan aims to make education more accessible and reduce the risk of school dropouts caused by financial hardship.
It was further resolved that educational tours for Primary Six and Seven learners would continue as usual, given their importance in supplementing classroom learning and promoting exposure.
During discussions, one of the parents, Anyait Jane, commended the school’s positive influence on her children’s academic progress.
She explained that one of her children, who previously performed poorly, had greatly improved since joining The Grace Nursery and Primary School and was now performing well in secondary school.
She noted that she had found school to be among the best schools in Northern Uganda and intended to continue sending her other children there.
Rev. Haggard Emuny from Adok Anglican Church, who represented the Archdeacon at the meeting, urged parents and teachers to work closely in nurturing children both spiritually and academically.
He emphasized the biblical importance of raising children in a disciplined and faith-based environment.
The meeting was chaired by Geoffrey Opio Ekong, the PTA Chairperson and NRM District Chairperson for Dokolo, who highlighted the school’s consistent record of producing quality learners making a positive impact in their communities.
He noted that the election of new PTA officials would be the next priority to strengthen the school’s governance and leadership structures.
Deputy Director Caroline Adongo expressed gratitude to parents for their continued trust and cooperation, promising improved results in the forthcoming academic term.
The school director assured parents that management was fully committed to implementing all resolutions made during the meeting, pledging to uphold the standards that have made the institution reputable.
The meeting concluded with a shared commitment among parents, teachers, and school administrators to sustain The Grace Nursery and Primary School’s reputation as a center of academic excellence and moral integrity in Dokolo District.
