Abstract

Pupils and students in Kasese especially in rural areas have, for seven years, been performing poorly at primary leaving examination (PLE) and universal secondary education (USE). Despite Compassion International in the Kasese district, various reports reveal that there is still a problem of poor performance of pupils. The problem of poor performance is deeply rooted in inadequate facilities: lack of teaching and learning resources, Absenteeism, Continued missing of classes which results in stagnation and falling behind in content and knowledge learning, lateness to school by pupils, quality of teaching and learning in the classroom, short-term hunger while at school and the inability for households to provide food to the school going children are reported as most assuredly related to poor performance of pupils in the school. However, the extent of its contributions has not been satisfactorily highlighted. The purpose of this research was to find out the role of NGOs in Kasese district.
