The Kasese District Education Officer, Ernest Bwambale Thabugha has discouraged the parents to shy away from the vice of changing their children from one school to another over the same period of time.
Mr. Thabugha sounded the discouragement today afternoon at the commissioning of a two-classroom block at Kyondo Primary School in Kyondo Sub-county, Bukonzo County East.
The District Education Boss explained that the act of changing learners to different schools does not only retard their performance but also leaves the parents blame the teachers for their children’s poor performance.
He used the same podium to appeal to the parents to equip their children with enough scholastic materials to facilitate their learning.
The Kasese Resident District Commissioner, Lt. Joe Walusimbi who presided over the commissioning ceremony hailed the district leadership for the proper use of the government resources.
Lt. Walusimbi used the same platform to warn the people against the act of practicing politics of identity and advised them to vote candidates who have ideologies.
The Kasese District Chairperson, Eliphaz Muhindi Bukombi commended the Byaruhanga Kaida Construction Company Ltd that contracted the work for showing value for the money totalling to shillings 105 million.
He revealed that the government was committed to improving the infrastructural development in Kyondo sub-county through the extension of safe and clean water and rebuilding Uganda Martyrs College Kyondo in partnership with ENABEL.
Jocknus Bwambale, the School’s Head teacher reported that the institution was lacking a female teacher.
Bwambale also revealed that the school being located in the hard-to-reach area, faces a challenge of absenteeism of teachers, appealing to the government to construct staff quarters at the institution as a way of curtailing the vice. ENDS
