That much-anticipated meeting with the education ‘big wigs’ from the government has now been rescheduled for this Thursday. Please pray that it happens this time! My main target points are education officials from the Ministry of Education, National Curriculum Development Centre (NCDC) and Kyambogo University teacher trainers who should be attending. I am suggesting a pretty radical change in the teaching of reading and doing a hopefully polite criticism of current reading programs. Prayers appreciated 🙂
