“Being our pioneer year, we strategically planned for this class,” school head teacher, Mr. Simon Muggaju said in an interview.

“We deployed competent staff who managed the pupils and we constantly screened all levels of content delivery from the word go,” he added.

He said the school employed strategic programmes that help them to spot individuals child challenges.

“Also being that our numbers are manageable, as one of the strategic plans by management, there’s intensive close supervision that is attached to learning. It also gives priority to individualistic learning where each child participate as much as possible in the class instructions.”
