First Lady and education minister Janet K Museveni has warned students against immorality, saying it distracts them from their studies.

Mrs Museveni denounced older men and women who are distracting learners, noting that that they are causing problems like the rising HIV/Aids prevalence rates and unwanted pregnancies.

“Some of the young ladies are getting attracted to getting phones, laptops and all sort of things from some older men. Young girls, if you see those men please run, don’t think that to get a phone is important than your life,” Ms Museveni remarked during the closure of the 6th youth regional summit at St. Henry’s College, Kitovu in Masaka City.

The summit, which attracted over 3,200 students from several schools in Greater Masaka was themed “My life is my responsibility.”

Mrs Museveni further advised students to choose friends wisely and avoid those who don’t value or honor the advice of their parents, guardians or school administrators.
