Amuru: The Member of Parliament representing Kilak South, Gilbert Olanya, has rewarded the best pupils and schools that excelled in the 2023 PLE from his constituency with mattresses and cash prizes.
Olanya, who also doubles as chairperson of the public account committee of the parliament, says his initiative, which has lasted for eight years, is aimed at promoting positive competition between the schools in his constituency, hence promoting and boosting education in his area of jurisdiction.
The politician notes that the mattress motivates the children to work hard and to help meet the requirements set by parents, while cash prizes are a token of appreciation to the teacher who put effort into ensuring their candidates pass with first grades.
The event that happened over the weekend took place at Olwal Trading Center, where at least 38 pupils from the 13 examination centers in Kilaka South constituency who passed with first grades received the 1-inch mattresses.
Meanwhile, the schools that obtained first grade were given a cash prize of one hundred thousand shillings per first grade. This witnessed Te-Kibur Primary, which hosted Restore Leadership Academy Primary, moving home with a lion share of 1.5 million shillings after they obtained 15 pupils in first grade, followed by Amuru Lamogi Primary School, which got six hundred thousand shillings.
Meanwhile, Otwee modern Lujoro received four hundred thousand shillings, and Lacor Mary Immaculate received three hundred thousand shillings.
Keyo Primary, which hosted Musalabas Dr. Andrew, Jimo, and Parabongo, also received 200,000 shillings, respectively.
Other examination centers, including Pagak, Kaladima, Amuru Rec Kiceke, Otwee Public, and Guru Guru Primary, which hosted the spring ambassador primary school, each received one hundred thousand shillings, respectively.
Amuru districts in 2023 registered a total of 3,462 pupils, of which 81 got first grade, 1068 got division two, 1,027 passed with third grade, 604 obtained fourth grade, 609 failed exams, and 73 missed examinations.
Lamaro prudence Amayo of Restore Leadership, who scored an aggregate of 7 and was the best pupil in the girls category, cherishes Gilbert Olanay for his generosity in offering her a mattress.
She said the donation would reduce the cost of the requirements that her parents should have met.
The function was attended by parents who accompanied their best pupils, teachers, political, religious, and cultural leaders from Amuru, and officials from the Amuru district education department.
