RE: PROBLEM STATEMENT OF NAMUTAMBA DEMONSTRATION SCHOOL

On behalf of the S.M.C, teachers, pupils of Namutamba Demo School and on my behalf, let me extend my thanks and appreciation for the development strategies you have for the renovation of our mother school, indeed the entire community of Namutamba is very thankful for your love you have extended.

On this note, let me forward to you the stand of Namutamba Demonstration School.

This school has been in existence for quite a long period of time of over than 73 years. This is an indication that there is depreciation of some infrastructures, so new strategies, ideas that have been laid down for its development is very essential.

The current situation of the school stands as follows:
1.0. Buildings:
1.1 Classrooms:
 The first buildings have cracks and one of them has been demolished because it was too dangerous to life of children.
 Another classroom block is incomplete it needs plastering, flooring and shutters.
 There are classrooms which had glasses almost all of them were broken, the wooden shutter-flames were eaten by termites.
 Floors and walls of some classrooms need renovation i.e. painting and re-flooring.

1.2 Teachers houses:
 Some are too old and eaten by termites
 There is a house which almost was crashed by a tree.
1.3 Kitchens:
We have tried to build them using local materials. Unfortunately they don’t last long due to the damage caused by the termites.

1.4 Toilets for pupils and teachers.
On the side of pupils, the toilets we have are not enough to be used by the school population so there is a need to construct two more toilets.

On teachers’ toilet, walls were locally built and are ever being disturbed by termites.

1.5 Library/ Book store
Among the buildings which are badly needed is the library. We have a lot of books but we don’t have anywhere to expose them for reading by our pupils.

1.6 Dinning hall.
We are urging parents to make sure that our pupils take lunch at school on this note we have realized that we need a serving place which can even instill table manners in our pupils.

2.0 Furniture
2.1 Pupils seats
The desks and benches we have are not enough. Here some of the pupils sit and fail to have where to write from. We try to repair but most of the broken desks are beyond repair.

2.2 Teacher tables / chairs
There is need for provision of tables and chairs in classrooms for our teachers with drawers where to keep their books.

3.0 Office equipment

3.1 Type writer and cycle styling machine.
In order to reduce the expense we meet in buying already printed exams, or taking our materials to someone to cycle style for us, there is need to have our own machines. This has an advantage in that we can test our pupils more often, in time thus reducing costs.

3.2 Computer:
Uganda has gone modern so we need to have a modern way of storing data and printing readable materials, as one of the strategies there is a necessity for a computer.

4.0 Water Supply i.e. Water tanks, we have so many building which could enable us get water during the rainy season. Unfortunately we don’t have tanks. So there is a need for at least two tanks of 10,000 litres each.

5.0 School projects:
We are of the view that our school engaging in money generating activities/ projects. Such projects may include the following:
- Agriculture- Maize growing.
- Poultry
- Growing
The only task a head of us is how to start because there is need of some money to initiate any identified project.

We are looking forward and eager to see that Namutamba Demonstration School rise and shine again.

Yours faithfully,

KATAZA JOHN. L
HEADTEACHER
