The deceased\u2019s body was handed over to Orum Health Centre IV pending postmortem as investigations continue,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The school head teacher, Mr Alfred Meri, regretted the unfortunate incident.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was in for my first morning lesson in Primary Two class and one of my staff, Mr Tonny Okello, was in Primary Three class teaching an English lesson. After the English lesson was finished, he was supposed to go in for another lesson which was physical education. I then heard him giving instructions to the children that the time for the physical education lesson was ready and the boys would be the first to move to the field while the girls would move afterwards,\u201d he narrated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe children then started running to the field and the deceased (Omony) was among them. Before their teacher had come out with some other pupils \u2013 the girls who were still in class \u2013 immediately I saw my deputy calling to tell me that one of the pupils had fallen down and was unconscious,\u201d the head teacher said adding that when he rushed to the scene he saw some urine near the pupil.<\/p>\n<p>Ader Primary School is a government-aided school found in Adwari Sub-county.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Francis Abola, the Otuke LC5 chairman, urged parents to always disclose the health conditions of their children in order to mitigate such incidents.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Most parents just take their children and leave them at school without notifying anyone about their health conditions yet the teachers at school may also not be having any medical knowledge,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
