Aura, Hope and Unquenchable energy is exactly how you feel upon entrance of EMUSUGUT PATRICK's P2 class in St. Balikudembe Primary School at the far stretches of Buikwe district in rural Central Uganda. Patrick's classroom embodies a strategically depicted Class Motto ‘‘We are the Conquerors, We Conquer Everything’’ that reminds every learner's of their potential in pursuit of quality education on a routine glance as they settle to pay loyalty to their teacher's execution. His teaching approach sets students as the pivot of learning leveraging on learner group dynamics for cross student supportive Learning, student reflection and self evaluation before his guidance and a self study-learner aided environment where learners have instant access to locally developed learning aids that they incidentally drive their own learning even in Patrick's absence! We are committed to grooming teachers like Patrick and many others through Our Teaching as leadership fellowship to ensure that one day all children in Uganda will attain access to equitable and quality Education. #TeachForUganda #WorldTeachersDay
