Welcome to our first news blog. The title of this news blog post is Talk of Entebbe.
I am writing this from San Diego, California, on a Sunday morning just before I go to church. And, to tell you the truth, I am doing it as a test...have been putting it off for weeks since first week of May [that's why you see the original publication date as May 5] until I decided "so be it, am doing it today..."
You will be getting news on education and education-related topics from The United States, mostly San Diego and California. Feel free to post comments whenever you're touched by some topic.
On this particular Sunday morning, the 27th of May, 2012, the hot educational topic in San Diego is graduation. All elementary, middle-school, and high schools are graduating next month. Actually graduation ceremonies have already started. So, imagine the excitement!
When you come to think about the organization it takes to have more than 200 schools have successful ceremonies, majority on the same day, then you understand how thorough and well-organized the education system has to be.
Hot topic number two: Budget cuts, staff and faculty losing jobs due to "re-trenchment" (lay-offs), elections in November. Economy in serious, serious, reverse-gear.
Talk of Entebbe will look into those issues, from time to time, next time...
For now, I have to go. To church. Hope all is well with you. Greetings to our people in Uganda.
Till next time.
God bless you all! K. Lwanga, Principal and writer
