The Math Debacle in Oyam District

Oyam is a district in the Northern Region of Uganda. It is one of the districts that make up Lango sub-region.

According to the PLE 2022 results, 59 schools of the 69 that had candidates in the district had 50% of their students failing math as a subject. This translates to 86% slightly higher than the 85% of 2020.

As we await the yearly Report published by UNEB to schools showing the break down of individual subject questions performance, the following may be the discussion

Do students lack foundational skills in Math? Do they get a strong grasp of the basic mathematical concepts?
Is there enough teacher student engagement to make the subject easier?
Do the learners have enough support materials? Did they receive the government holiday work package?
Are the teachers using the right teaching methods?
Are the students interested in learning?
Are those in the educational offices of the district interested?
Are the parents concerned?
The questions go on an on until when everyone attached is involved deeply, there will be a high failure rate in Math in Oyam

Worth to note is in 2022, 60 schools had a 100% Math failure rate in the entire country!, one from Oyam.

Failure rate in this case is total percentage of students scoring P7, P8 and F9
