Take children to schools you can afford, Nabbanja tells parents

Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja has advised parents to enroll their children in schools they can afford.

“The government has established secondary schools like Namagabi SS, which are well-equipped and staffed with teachers to provide quality and affordable education. However, some parents continue to send their children to expensive schools beyond their means, leading to student dropouts,” Ms Nabbanja said.

Her remarks were delivered by the Third Premier, Ms Rukia Nakadama, during the 40th anniversary celebrations of Namagabi SS in Kayunga Town on Saturday. The event was attended by several dignitaries, including State Minister for Finance Amos Lugoloobi, State Minister for Energy Ms Phiona Nyamutoro, Presidential Advisor on Creatives, Mr Edirisa Musuuza alias Eddy Kenzo, and Supreme Mufti Muhammad Galabuzi.

Highlighting the government’s commitment to ensuring every child has access to quality education, the Prime Minister emphasised the vital role education plays in shaping the nation’s future.

“We have made strides in expanding access to schools, but we must also focus on improving the quality of education to equip our children for global competition,” she stated.
