Primary Seven Candidates in Kasese district have been encouraged to put their faith in God as they prepare to sit for the forthcoming 2025 Primary Leaving Examinations.
According to the circular from the Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB), candidates will attempt their papers on Monday with Mathematics in the morning and Social Studies and Religious Education in the afternoon before attempting Integrated Science in the morning and English in the afternoon on the following.
While leading a dedication service of 192 candidates at Kamaiba Primary School in Kasese town today morning, Ven. Gerison Baluku Kibethe, the Assistant Sub-dean at St. Paul’s Cathedral encouraged them to always trust in the Lord in order to register success.
Quoting the Biblical Book of Proverbs 16:9, the Man of God explained that it was a good idea for one to plan and set gaols, urging the Christians to accept that God was the one who establishes and blesses everything.
He noted that whereas success comes as a result of collaboration among the teachers, parents and pupils, God is the only giver of knowledge.
In his remarks, Godfrey Kule Kiwede, the Executive Director at the Centre for Hope and Life In and After Prison Initiative (CHALAPI), who was the Chief Guest, encouraged the learners to have dreams of what they ought to become in future and stay focused towards achieving them.
Mr. Kiwede also asked the parents to take care of their children during the forthcoming long holiday, stressing that most school-going children sometimes get disrupted during the holiday breaks.
Benon Dan Masereka, the Head teacher at Kamaiba Primary School lauded the parents for their support extended to the institution during the teachers’ industrial action.
