In Kasese—-

A section of leaders in Kasese district have courted parents and guardians to prioritize sending their school going children back
to school when schools reopen in January.

Schools will officially re-open for all classes on January 10, 2022, according to the schools and other institutions calendar that was officially released mid this month by Education and Sports Minister
Janet Museveni.

The new calendar covers all primary, secondary technical and community polytechnics, many of which have been closed for almost two years which saw over 1.5million learners remain redundant within their communities.
Schools in Uganda have remained closed for over 80 weeks, the longest school closure recorded across the world.

However, last week, Ms. Museveni announced that the closure, which started on March 20, 2020, was ending and all learners would report back at once.
Speaking to our reporter shortly after addressing a section of students during a career-guidance day on Wednesday at Kahokya Primary School in Kahokya Sub County, Kasese District Woman MP Florence Kabugho emphasized the need for parents and Guardians to support all their school going Children when schools reopen in January.

Kabugho who also noted that the district is also grappling with a high rate of teenage pregnancies, encouraged parents to endeavor to take the daughters and sons who have become victims of the same back to school

She also strongly warned the parents from marrying of their daughters at a tender age saying that the act exposes the young girls to a number of dangers.

The woman legislator also urged students to become ambitious and pick up role  models who will always inspire them to becoming persons of responsibility in the future.
