The Rukungiri District LC5 Chairperson, Geoffrey Kyomukama, has called on committees overseeing public facilities to prioritize safeguarding them rather than exposing internal challenges.
Speaking at the swearing-in ceremony of the Management Committee at Kebisoni Seed Secondary School in Nyeibingo Parish, Kebisoni Sub County, Kyomukama condemned the act of revealing administrative struggles and institutional secrets, emphasizing that such actions undermine development.
“Public facilities should be defended and strengthened, not weakened by unnecessary exposure of their challenges,” Kyomukama stated.
The ceremony, presided over by Rukungiri Court Grade One Magistrate His Worship Gonzaga Mbarangu, marked a significant step in the school’s governance. Mbarangu urged the newly appointed committee to uphold their oath with integrity, fostering a conducive environment for academic excellence.
“Your role is to nurture and protect this institution for the benefit of both present and future generations,“ Mbarangu advised.
Rukungiri District Secretary for Education Clare Musimenta congratulated the committee and called on parents to take an active role in sustaining and expanding schools, given the government’s limited capacity to provide all necessary resources on time.
“For schools to thrive, parents must step up and support their growth,” she noted.
Newly appointed Chairperson of the Management Committee, Retired Rev. Charles Bitaine, assured stakeholders of his commitment to upholding student discipline and fostering unity among staff for the school’s progress.
“We are here to work together, instill discipline, and create an environment that encourages success,” Rev. Bitaine affirmed.
Kebisoni Sub County LC3 Vice Chairperson Frank Mabwa echoed the need for strong parental support, stating that students’ academic performance depends on a collaborative effort between parents and educators.
Meanwhile, the school’s headmistress, Kyomugisha Kellen Charity, commended the Ministry of Education and Sports for establishing a quality school in a rural setting. However, she highlighted the urgent need for classroom expansion and additional land to accommodate the institution’s rapid growth, with enrollment surging to 606 students in just 18 months.
“This school is growing fast, and we need more classrooms and land to meet the rising demand,” Charity appealed.
With new leadership in place, Kebisoni Seed Secondary School embarks on a path of development, aiming to provide a stronger educational foundation for the students and the community.
