About Lubiri SS
I am very proud of my school because it is the best performing school in
the region. There is a lot of team work to achieve this, however team teaching
and co-teaching is perceived very differently as you will observe. It is seen as
a teacher standing in for another when they are absent. Rarely do 2 or more
teachers go to a class for the lesson.The school has the highest population in Kampala 4500 students, this attributed to it good performance that many parents want to enroll their children. The higher the enrollment the better the standard of living for teachers. Students and Teachers are provided with free meals so there is no need to pack.
It is a government (public) school however students pay tuition. This means that the teachers are paid well compared to other schools that do not pay school fees at all.
Lubiri SS a prestigious school because it was founded by a king from one the strongest kingdoms in Uganda. The name "Lubiri" means palace.
Students are very disciplined and they respect teachers.
I was inspired to make changes when i returned home because i learnt so
many things in the USA. i am struggling to implement group work, discussion and
a number of student centered methods but they seem weird here. We do a lot
theory lessons because we have few laboratories and equipment compared to the
number of students. We use a lot of teacher centered methods versus student
centered methods. Note taking is commonly used because it is an indicator of
content coverage. I am very interested together with the TCG team to demonstrate
student centered methods to teachers here.
I have shared about the TCG program and many teachers are interested in
interacting with you.
We are looking forward to meeting you,
