Hon Muyingo is an educator and currently an Mp representing Bamunanika Constituency (Luweero District) for his second term. He is the current State Minister for High Education who was appointed to the position on 6 June 2016 after previously serving as State Minister for Primary Education from 2011
Muyingo was born on 22 February 1960 to John Chrysestom Ssekidde of Kakoola Village, Bamunanika County, Luweero District and late Victoria Nakiwala. He attended Mulajje Primary School, Kisubi Seminary, and Makerere College School, before joining Makerere University in 1983. He graduated in 1986 with a Bachelor of Science and a Diploma in Education from Makerere University.
On top of that he has a Masters of Arts in Educational Management 1996 and a Doctorate of Philosophy obtained in 2004 from Makerere University. Muyingo started his teaching career at Ndejje Secondary School where he taught chemistry and mathematics. He later taught at St. Joseph's School Nsambya where he became Director of Studies. He was then transferred to St. Joseph Secondary School Naggalama, in Mukono District.
At Naggalama he became headmaster and during his administration, he initiated a boarding section for Boys alone at Naggalama Hill. He then started an A-Level section at the school. From Naggalama, he was transferred in 1992 to Uganda Martyrs' Secondary School Namugongo, At the time of his arrival at Namugongo, the teachers would go home on Friday and return on Monday, leaving students on their own over the weekend. The infrastructure was poor, the classes inadequate, there was no serious science lab and the performance was alarming. The School's Board of Governors had little interest in the school. Gradually, the new headmaster's efforts paid off.
The year before he joined, the school had registered 5 first grades at O-level. In 1992, the number rose to 32, then 58 in 1993, 64 in 1994 and 90 in 1995. Henceforth, the numbers steadily rose with some years registering a 100 percent first grade pass rate. He served in that capacity from 1992 until 2010.
While at Namugongo as head teacher in 1996, he was appointed by His Royal Highness the Kabaka of Buganda to serve as his Minister for Education in the Buganda government until 2003 when he resigned to join active partisan politics. During this capacity, he was twice voted as the best performing minister for the Kabaka.
While serving at Namugongo, he established his private Seeta High School at Seeta. The school he has built in just a decade to a national status now competes with the traditional secondary schools such as Kings College Budo, Gayaza High School, Ntare school.
In 2011, Muyingo entered active politics by contesting for the parliamentary seat of Bamunanika County in Luweero District, as an Independent candidate. He won that seat with 92 percent of the votes cast and is the incumbent Member of Parliament for that constituency.
The educationist is married to Rosemary Namayanja, since 1992 while at Namugongo. To date, they have six children. Namayanja is the Director at Seeta High Schools; their Seeta schools company has 5 schools, 3 for secondary, 1 being a primary and the other being a kindergarten with a total of approximately 45,000 students. His real name is Miyingo, but it was wrongly registered as Muyingo back in his early school days.
