Anthony officially handed over the licence for the Buhunga Nursery School section and emphasized government’s ongoing licensing exercise aimed at raising education standards. He cautioned parents against wasting time and resources on schools issuing unrecognized certificates.
Representing the Chief Guest, Frank Arinaitwe Rukanurwa, Ms. Perusi Tushemerirwe urged parents to closely monitor the movement and safety of children during the festive season and to train them in homestead activities that can benefit their livelihoods.
Presiding over the mass, Fr. Frank Atuzarirwe, Chaplain of Rutooma Parish in Nyakibale Denary, Kabale Diocese, encouraged parents to nurture Christian values in their children and guided the learners to maintain discipline and good conduct.
The head teacher, Bernabas Beinomugisha, called for stronger cooperation between parents and teachers, noting the school’s commitment to improving standards.
PTA Chairperson Robert Bataringaya praised the dedication of the current staff and expressed confidence in parents’ continued support towards the development of the school.
The colourful ceremony marked a major milestone in strengthening early childhood education in Buhunga Subcounty.
