Teaching And Learning Programmes
Iganga High School has a well structured teaching and learning programme, constantly under review. The Deputy Headteachers charged with the office of Academics; Mr Nkwanga Chris, Mr Baganzi Paul and Mr Nabongo Simon Peter, coordinate the Academic programmes and activities with the two Directors of Studies; Mr.Tigawalana Eriot and Mr Mulungwa Fred, together with the Heads of Department, and Subject Teachers monitor and carry out the teaching activities in the school. The class teachers and subject teachers account for the students’ academic performance at every level of the stream. We normally demand for this accountability during organized academic assemblies.
Our new approach to instruction paired with high level of a sense of good discipline inculcated into our learners has enabled them attain high quality education leading to improved academic performance at both ‘O’ and ‘A’ Level in both Arts and Sciences.
We have committed a lot of resources in improving academic performance. We however need more qualified and experienced staff, given our enrolment. We offer extra lessons in an attempt to complete the syllabi in time and continuously invite resource persons from other schools to help our students on question answering techniques. We are optimistic that the academic performance will steadily improve. Nothing will divert our commitment to the Struggle for Progress.
Remedial support programmes
Teachers continue to assist students with revision by going over marked exercises and tests. Class meetings have been introduced. They will continue to be held termly and parents are invited to check on their children’s academic progress and discuss with the teachers the students’ academic, discipline and general welfare. All parents are urged to attend class meetings in person for better discipline and academic performance of our students.
The termly assessment and evaluation programme consists of three sets of examinations, the beginning of term, middle term and end of term examinations. The promotional mark for ‘o’ level is 50% and that of the current S.5 class is under review to suit the number of subjects currently being offered at “A’ level.
In 2015/2016 we introduced and we are still emphasising the Accademic parenting programme where by each student choose atleast one teacher to be the school parent and in case of any problem like indiscipline cases, some inquiries and other matters arising the teacher chosen is the first to handle and provide solutions or way forward.
We are committed to doubling the 2011 performance this year.
