Bishop Kagodo Raises Concern Over Government Handling of Education Matters.

The Bishop of Mukono Diocese, The Rt. Rev. Enos Kitto Kagodo, has expressed concern and disappointment over the way some government officials are handling education-related matters, saying this has left parents unable to fully meet their responsibilities, including providing lunch for their children at school.

He said the situation has also created uncertainty among school administrators and the wider public over the handling of education matters, adding that the fear among teachers could be contributing to poor performance among some learners.

"I will not remain silent until the intimidation and actions against the heads of our Church-founded schools stop. Why don't you first investigate before arresting the heads of these schools?” the Bishop said.

Bishop Kagodo urged parents to recognise that providing education for their children is their responsibility and cautioned them against being misled by politicians or individuals pursuing personal interests who may seek to prevent them from fulfilling their parental responsibilities.

“Whoever neglects his children will suffer for a long time without anyone to help him. Therefore, fight for your children,” he said.

The Bishop made the remarks in Kangulumira Archdeaconry, Kayunga District, during his pastoral visit to Bukeeka C/U Primary School and St. James Bukeeka S.S.S., where he dedicated P.7, S.4 and S.6 candidates and encouraged them to remain committed to God as they prepare for their final examinations.

He urged the learners to be careful about what they see and hear, noting that not everything presented to them is necessarily good or right. He cited various influences, including music that does not uphold Christian values, which he said are contributing to the moral decline of society, particularly among the younger generation.

In a report, the Head Teacher of Bukeeka C/U Primary School, David Mwirusi, said the school faces several challenges, including inadequate teachers' accommodation and some parents' reluctance to provide essential requirements for their children, such as school uniforms.

He added that the school plans to construct a perimeter fence around the entire school compound to prevent theft and protect school property. The school currently has more than 600 pupils.

Meanwhile, the Head Teacher of St. James Bukeeka S.S., Rev. Fred Kato, said the area has a high number of learners who drop out of school before completing their education.
He attributed the school dropout rate to factors including early marriage, child labour, drug and substance abuse, and poverty among parents.

Rev. Kato added that efforts are being made to have the school integrated into the government system so that it can access support to strengthen and improve its operations.
