Eastern Uganda Teachers Demand Answers Over Missing Kyambogo Diploma Results

Primary school teachers enrolled in Kyambogo University’s diploma in education outreach programme at St John Bosco Core Primary Teachers’ College in Nyondo Sub-county, Mbale District, have raised alarms after discovering their academic results missing from the university portal.

The group, who started the two-year course in 2023, completed all requirements including exams in 2024 but found no records of their first or second-year performance when checking recently. Many are serving government primary schools and worry this will hinder their upgrade to bachelor’s degrees by the 2029 National Teachers Policy deadline.

Robert Ogutt from Lumuli Primary School in Busia District noted that inquiries at the college led nowhere, with officials directing them to Kyambogo. ‘Some results are completely gone, and names have vanished from the system,’ he stated, highlighting delays in semester result releases that only surfaced now.

Rodgers Walyaula of Nabitsikhi Primary School in Namisindwa District and Ronald Nayele echoed frustrations, confirming cleared tuition and coursework yet no results. They contrasted their plight with peers at private institutions who have graduated.

St John Bosco principal Rose Mary Akullo confirmed the complaints but deferred to Kyambogo. University spokesperson Reuben Twinomujuni said colleges handle marking and results, while Academic Registrar Anne Begumisa referred back to PR. Reports indicate at least 189 students affected.

The teachers urge swift action to trace records and safeguard their career progression.
