Member of Parliament for Isingiro South, Alex Bakunda Byarugaba, has urged students to focus more on their studies and stay occupied to avoid participating in school strikes, which he views as destructive and unproductive.
Byarugaba emphasized the importance of discipline and cooperation both in schools and at home for students to achieve success in their current and future lives. He highlighted findings from national research in Uganda, showing that most student strikes occur within the first month of the second term, urging learners to steer clear of such activities.
He warned students to stay focused and reform their behaviors to prevent disruptions in the teaching and learning process, which also imposes financial burdens on their parents if students are expelled.
Byarugaba also encouraged school administrators to enhance communication with students, staying closely connected to identify and address their needs in advance to prevent violence and conflicts.
