President Yoweri Museveni has strongly appealed to Head Teachers of Universal Primary and Secondary schools to stop the practice of charging learners.
Museveni reveals that the strategy to socio-economic transformation is to remove obstacles that prevent children from poor families from attending school.
President Museveni was this afternoon addressing 514 Secondary School Head Teachers from Central Buganda as well as regional and district coordinators of Patriotism Clubs who are attending a 10 day Patriotism and Ideological training at the National Leadership Institute in Kyankwanzi district.
The training will end on the 14th January 2023.
He stressed that society can change through correct education and that relevant education will cause transformation in society.
He was however dismayed to learn that the completion rate in UPE schools is now at 32% caused by the expulsion of pupils from school because of non-payment of the so-called lunch fees.
