Buganda Queen (Nnaabagereka) Sylvia Nagginda has called on government to uniquely recognize the historical significance and welfare of traditional schools to ensure their continuity in the changing tech-driven education sector.

“We must advocate for government resources to rebuild and refurbish the infrastructure of these institutions while also engaging the private sector to secure funding and resources for educational programmes and technological innovations,” she said as chief guest during the centenary celebrations of Lake Victoria School in Entebbe on Saturday.

The school, where she is also an Old Girl (OG), was started in 1924 by the British colonial government.

“We the alumni can play an instrumental role in transformation of our schools. By organising ourselves effectively, we can collectively contribute to restoration and improvement of the school's infrastructure and educational programmes,” she observed, noting that she had last appeared at the school 49 years ago as a pupil.

The nnaabagereka appealed for dedicated commitment towards mentoring youngsters as a building was named after her.
