TWENTY-ONE primary school head teachers in Ukerewe District have been demoted for various alleged acts of misconduct, negligence and poor performance in last year’s examinations
Fifteen were stripped of their leadership roles because their schools were found to have swindled millions of government funds through ghost pupils while six suffered the same fate for failure to build classrooms and latrines as per government directives.
Announcing the decision in Ukerewe yesterday, District Executive Director (DED) Frank Bahati said negligence by some of the teachers led to the closure of five schools in the district for lack of latrines and classrooms.
In the 2016 primary school national examinations, the island district was the last in Mwanza Region and 137th nationally, a fall from the number one position it registered regionally in 2015 and 5th nationally.
Speaking in Ukerewe District, Bahati was not amused by head teachers he accused of failing to oversee the building of classes and latrines because he personally prepared the strategy for implementation of the same and circulated it to all heads of schools in the district.
He said that the teachers had failed to spearhead development in their schools from academic to school projects as well as discipline.
According to Bahati, there were some schools which were closed for two months due to poor management by head teachers, a situation that made students to learn in a very difficult environment.
He named the schools as Chankamba, Mitimirefu, Malegeyahii and Kamasi, noting that six head teachers were demoted due to poor management as well as incurring the government a loss of millions of shillings during the students’ verification exercise.
He directed responsible authorities to take serious discipline measures against those who were behind the loss.
Ukerewe District Council is made up of 38 islands with 123 primary schools, 1,600 teachers and 102,114 pupils. Last year, the council recorded poor results for Standard Seven National Exams to the extent of being ranked 137th at the national level.
In 2015 the council was the first at the regional level and fifth at national level.
