staying at home. Unzimai Ismail, a primary three pupil who aspired to become a doctor asked her fellow pupils to continue revising their books as government decided on safe reopening<\/p>\n

of schools. He told Juba Monitor yesterday that the government should implement their decision which would greatly help them to be future leaders. \u201cWe are<\/p>\n

tired of staying at home, we are happy that we are going back to school,\u2019\u2019 he said. Yusuf Rashid a primary two pupil yesterday appealed to the teachers to continue<\/p>\n

sensitizing school children on the benefits of education noting that some pupils had completely forgotten education. \u201cSome of our fellow children have forgotten that schools exist,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

The Ugandan government in June closed schools to stop the spread of Covid-19. It was not clear when the incoming senior one and senior five students whose<\/p>\n

results were released recently would report to school, given that the official selection exercise had not yet taken place. The recent reports showed that the ministry would review the existing curriculum by extracting content that was core and could be delivered through the shortened school calendar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
