Finding out whether there was a correlation between high school graduation and joblessness in Kisoro Municipality's Northern division Kamonyi Village was the study's main goal. Other goals included determining the patterns of unemployment as well as the trends of educational levels in Kisoro Municipality's Northern Division and Kamonyi Village. According to Krejcie, Robert V., and Morgan, Daryle W. (1970), the study used a mixed quantitative and qualitative design and simple random sampling of probabilities and purposeful sampling approaches to obtain a sample size of 203 respondents from Kisoro Municipality's Northern division Kamonyi Village. In Kisoro District, Uganda, it was discovered that there was a very strong, positive association between educational attainment and rate of unemployment. According to the data, this link has a Pearson correlation score of 0.701 and a significance level of 0.000. This is taken to mean that there is a meaningful and favorable connection between the two characteristics. This further suggests that educational levels and joblessness in Uganda have a favorable, significant association. This demonstrates that a person is more likely to be jobless if they do not possess higher school credentials. The study recommends that for education institutional learning to further penetrate and reach out even to the poorest of the poor in both rural and urban areas whose income cannot favor them to afford payments in schools or higher learning institutions. The government of Uganda should consider appropriate policy reforms in regard to employment so as to minimize on the levels of unemployment.

The following goals served as the foundation for the study, which focused on academic achievement and instructing in the Kisoro district: to determine the level of schooling and achievement qualification at Kisoro Vision Secondary School, to determine the level of teaching there, and to determine the connection between schooling and achievement certification and imparting knowledge there. 19 of the entire population's 20 responders made up the study sample. The educational qualification variable is a significant predictor of the quality of instruction in the school, as evidenced by the standardized coefficient (beta) of 0.506 for the study. The educational background variable's t-value was 5.018, and the matching p-value, which was less than 0.05, was 0.000. This demonstrated that the coefficient was considered statistically significant, indicating that the level of education and the caliber of instruction at Kisoro Vision Secondary School were significantly correlated. When the educational qualification is zero, the unchanging term's value of 5.687 indicates the typical teaching quality score. With a p-value of 0.035, the value of the constant term was likewise statistically significant. For instructors to perform better, the ministry of education and sports should encourage them to participate in sharing information events, online journals, research seminars, workshops, webinars, workshops, online lectures, online assignments, digital libraries, online exam systems, and online discussion forums.

The study aimed at the effects of grammar on learner’s academic performance in English subject in secondary schools in Uganda with a case of Luwero district and it was guided by the following objectives; To examine the relationship between the use of grammar learning strategies and student achievement in English subject, to evaluate the effect of grammar on student writing skills and to establish the effects of grammar on student’s attitude towards English subject. Keeping other factors constant, a percent increase in the use of grammar learning strategies would on average lead to 0.758 percent increase in student’s achievement in English subject. This is statistically insignificant at 95% confidence interval since the P-value (0.067) is greater than 0.05 level of significance and therefore we accept the null hypothesis and conclude that that there is no relationship between the use of grammar learning strategies and student’s achievement in English subject. The Rsquared (0.627) is greater than the adjusted R-squared value (0.568) because it imposes a harsher penalty on the linear regression model. And hence a good fit. Teachers should emphasize the use of English modeling approach in their word problem content, to change pedagogy and to provide assessment that focuses more on understanding than on mastery of language. Students need more time to understand grammar word problem concepts, and this study was unable to correctly answer some of the questions because they required a deeper level of understanding.

The study aimed at the effects of physical education on the learner’s academic performance in secondary school and it was guided by the following objectives; To investigate the relationship between physical education and students’ performance in kabojja secondary school, to analyze the contributions of physical education to the students’ performance in kabojja secondary school and to examine the relevance of physical education to the academic performance in kabojja secondary school. The results of the descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were displayed via tables, figures, and proportions. Utilizing an analytical methodology, the qualitative information was examined for any emerging patterns in the responses given by the participants. From the findings, it was found that learners and their skeletal muscles are at ease and their minds are enhanced by the exercises that they practice in middle and high schools, as pointed out with 27% of the teachers, while the greatest number of educators said that pupils are apprised of athletic endeavors during physical schooling this has been demonstrated with 32%, while it was also noted throughout the survey that learners have learned to relate science lessons with wellness as shown with. Engaging in physical activities during physical education classes can enhance cognitive functions such as attention, memory, and problem-solving skills. Schools should design physical education programs that include activities that stimulate the brain and require critical thinking.

The study aimed at guidance and counseling as a tool for management of students’ discipline in secondary schools with a case study of Alero senior secondary school in Nwoya district Uganda and it was guided by the following objectives; To establish disciplinary problems experienced in Alero senior secondary school in Soroti district and their effects on the performance of students, to establish how guidance and counseling was used in the management of various disciplinary cases among students and the methods used to maintain them and to establish the factors that hindered effective guidance and counseling in the management of student’s discipline in Alero Secondary School. From the findings, the weighted average for the two categories of respondents was calculated. It indicated that main factors that hinder effective use of guidance and counselling were lack of policy framework for implementation, too much workload for teachers hence no time for counselling and the students do not take guidance and counselling seriously had a weighted average of 20. From the recommendations, school administrators should provide facilities such as counselling offices, magazines, audio and video tapes to be used during guidance and counselling.

The major objective of this study lied in finding out whether there was a relationship between ICT teaching and learning of biology at Mutorere secondary school in Kisoro district. Other objectives included; to find out the level of ICT teaching at Mutorere secondary school in Kisoro district, to find out the extent of learning biology at Mutorere secondary school in Kisoro district. A simple random chance sampling strategy was utilized to produce a sample size of eighty participants from the intended sample of 100 people who participated using Solvin's formula for the study, which used a mixture of a descriptive and empirical method of inquiry. The investigator discovered that there is an extremely positive correlation among ICT Teaching and Learning of Biology at r = 0.704, and since the sig. value (.000) was much less than 0.01, which is the highest possible level of importance required declaring an important connection between ICT Instruction and Understanding of Biology, this suggests that when the level of ICT Being a teacher is high, the different levels of comprehension of biology is high, whereas when the level of ICT Instruction is low, the level of learning biology is low. This is because integration of ICT Teaching in learning biology involves use of projectors, videos, slides and power point presentations which motivates students and gives deep-insight into the subject content, hence making learning easy.

This study was done to find out the factors affecting academic progress in government schools, with a focus on government-aided schools in the Kabarole District. The specific objectives of the study were to ascertain the effects of methods of instruction and learning, parental control in school activities, and policy decisions on academic achievement in public schools. This study used a crosssectional survey design with a sample size of 266 respondents and combined qualitative and quantitative research techniques. Snowballing and deliberate sampling techniques were employed to reach out to the respondents, while surveys, questionnaires, and group discussions were used to collect the primary data. The findings indicate that more work needs to be done in this area even though the administration has been helpful in giving academic resources and employees to schools. Additionally, it was demonstrated that in order for students to conduct up to the expectations, both the home and school environments must be improved. The researcher's findings show that all stakeholders must participate in and contribute to an open system in a school in order to achieve the intended goals.

This project was about the effect of mother tongue (L1) on the English subject outcome in secondary schools in Uganda from selected schools in Kanyum sub county, Kumi District. Questionnaires were designed and used to get secondary data; where by respondents were required to answer the questions. The researcher conducted face to face interviews with students and teachers on issues pertaining the influence of mother tongue (L1) on English Subject outcome in secondary schools from selected schools in Kanyum Sub County. A number of languages had been advanced about the need for a second language. In the context of this study, English was the language stressed mostly. English was a language which was widely spread and in Uganda it was the major medium of communication and instruction in a classroom situation with an exception of the Thematic Curriculum. David (1997) in his encyclopedia of language said that; children learn to speak in a popular view by copying the utterances heard around them and by having correct responses strengthened by the repetitions, corrections and other reactions that adults provide.

Everyone wants to see the change of children from pre-primary to primary level go as smoothly as feasible so that a child can achieve the maximum academic development and advancement through an effective teaching learning process. Nevertheless, there are a number of difficulties that students and teachers must overcome in order for the transition to go smoothly, and these difficulties are entirely dependent on the affordability of teaching learning methods and materials. On the basis of this context, the study investigated the creation and application of multidimensional learning aids in the lower primary section at Joy and Jolly Nursery School, Namugoona. The three research questions what materials are ideal for generating 3-dimensional learning tools? were the foundation of the study, which was inspired by Pieget's theory of cognitive development, which recognizes the importance of educational the supply of resources in the teaching and learning process. What use do multidimensional tools have for the lower primary section? What effect does employing three-dimensional tools serve on primary school students' learning? Data from 76 participants, including students, instructors, and school officials were gathered via questionnaires. The collected data was tabulated and analysed with numbers and percentages. The results of the study showed that multidimensional teaching and learning tools are not used to their full potential, and they advised using recycled and locally available materials as an alternative to purchasing basic three-dimensional interactive manipulatives (IMs) for use in classrooms, particularly at the primary level. Teachers have a responsibility to create easy-to-use tools that can help students learn and comprehend subjects covered in lower primary school.
