The Vicar of All Saints Church, Rev. Amos Musunguzi, has called on parents to actively support the education of their children to ensure a well-educated generation of Ugandans in the future.
Rev. Musunguzi made the remarks during the end-of-term two Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) meeting at Kinyasano Boarding Primary School, which focused on strategies for raising funds to complete the ongoing construction of a storeyed building aimed at addressing the school’s overcrowding challenge.
He emphasized the importance of parents providing essential learning requirements, meals, and contributing to initiatives that improve learning conditions. Commending the parents’ unity, Rev. Musunguzi noted that their collaborative effort since the project’s inception in 2022 has brought it to its current stage.
“Parents should prioritize investing in their children’s education. While some may believe that children belong to the government, parents also have a role to play in improving the schools where their children learn,” he said.
Head Teacher Tumushangye Barnard highlighted that the construction of the storeyed building, initiated in 2022, is nearing completion, with plans underway to add a third floor. He praised the progress made, particularly in improving pupils’ accommodation.
He further assured parents of the school’s strong academic performance. In the recent Diocesan mock exams, 141 out of 151 P.7 candidates achieved Division One, with the remaining ten in Division Two. In the municipal mock exams, 101 candidates attained Division One and 50 achieved Division Two.
The school administration urged parents to continue supporting the project, emphasizing that their contributions directly enhance learning conditions and academic success.
