Mukuno Nursery and Primary school!
This is Mukuno nursery and primary school located on Kamina fishing village on the shores of Lake Albert, in the mountainous parish in Ndaiga sub-county, just behind Kyaterekere trading centre in Kibaale.
The head teacher of the school, Bright Kito is a senior four graduate. The school has eight teachers, six of them have studied up to primary seven and administer 176 registered learners.
“That’s the only school available for a community of 3,600 people,” says Gerald Mugume, a parent at the school.
The school serves a community of several nationalities, including Batuku, Batooro, Bakiga, Bakonzo, and Alur. Although the school has two nursery levels and primary one to seven, it operates without a license from the education ministry.
According to Kito, only one learner has ever left Mukuno nursery and PS to join another school.
“That pupil went to St Kirigwajjo PS, several miles away from here, and he was made to repeat from P5. He is still there,” Kito said.
Parents with nursery kids pay Shs 50,000, while those in P1 to P5 part with Shs 70,000 per term. Those who are about to complete the learning cycle, from P6 to P7, are required to pay Shs 100, 000 per term.
