WORST PERFORMING BUSHENYI-ISHAKA MUNICIPALITY SCHOOLS

The municipality’s worst school of the lot of 35 is Bushenyi Primary School where nine (09) out of the 17 candidates failed — were ungraded or simply scored Grade U — and will not proceed to Senior One.

Nyakatooma II Primary School also had three of its 15 candidates fail. Other schools with failures were Ishaka Town School and Nyamiko Primary School. But these two do not appear on The Pearl Times list of worst performing schools because they managed first grade scores — this publication’s yardstick for performance in this analysis.

The Pearl Times ranked six schools — which did not have a single first grade — the worst performing in Bushenyi-Ishaka Municipality. For these primary schools, the fewer the second grades, the worse the ranking.

From worse to the worst, Kaburengye PS, Bushenyi Demo PS, Rwenjeru PS, Kanyamabona PS, Nyakatooma II PS and Bushenyi PS are at the bottom of the The Pearl Times rankings.

The municipality education office had not received results for Premier Preparatory School and Bushenyi Municipal Primary School by the time this publication filed this report.
