OKORE SEED SECONDARY SCHOOL,OKORE SUB COUNTY — The recruitment of teachers for newly established Seed Secondary Schools has signaled a major boost for education access and service delivery in rural Uganda, with Okore Subcounty in Katakwi District emerging as one of the notable beneficiaries.

The recruitment exercise, announced by the Minister of State for Education and Sports (Sports) and Ngariam County MP, Hon. Peter Ogwang, targets qualified secondary school teachers to serve in Seed Secondary Schools across the country. Applications close on January 10, 2026.

Katakwi Secures Four Seed Schools

Katakwi District has secured four Seed Secondary Schools under the programme, placing it among districts expected to significantly expand secondary education access. The schools earmarked for teacher deployment include Okore Seed Secondary School, Getom Seed Secondary School, Akoboi Seed Secondary School and Okulonyo Seed Secondary School.

The development is expected to ease long-standing challenges of distance and school congestion, particularly for learners in remote communities.

Okore Seed School Marks A Milestone

While addressing residents at the newly completed Okore Seed Secondary School,Hon. Ogwang described the institution as a turning point for Okore Subcounty, noting that it will keep more children in school and reduce dropout rates linked to long travel distances.

He observed that with education infrastructure now in place, the focus must shift to complementary services such as a health facility, electricity, piped water and household income improvement.
From Villages to Services

Hon Ogwang also reflected on the administrative growth of Okore Subcounty, crediting the creation of new villages and the upgrading of parishes as key steps in bringing government services closer to the people.
“Okore Subcounty now has 43 villages and eight parishes, which has improved access to government programmes, especially the Parish Development Model,” he said.

Development Beyond Classrooms

Local leaders welcomed the teacher recruitment as more than an education intervention, describing it as a catalyst for wider social and economic transformation. With schools operational, residents expect improved literacy levels, job creation and increased participation in government programmes.

As teacher recruitment gets underway, Okore’s Seed Secondary School stands as both a symbol of progress and a reminder that education remains central to rural development.
