Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>State Minister for Finance (General Duties) Henry Musasizi has asked students to prioritise the study of science subjects if the country is to have a skilled population.<\/p>\n

According to Mr Musasizi, offering sciences will partly solve Uganda\u2019s unemployment problem since it promotes innovation.<\/p>\n

\u201cStudents in all educational institutions in Uganda should prioritise the study of science subjects if the country is to enjoy a better economy in future. Studying science subjects and promoting skills development will solve the problem of unemployment as it promotes innovativeness in job creation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The minister was on Saturday addressing student leaders under their umbrella body, the Uganda National Students Association, as they held their 33rd council meeting at St John\u2019s Secondary School in Rubanda District.<\/p>\n

This comes as the government recently enhanced salaries of Science teachers. Mr Musasizi, who is also the Rubanda District NRM party chairperson, further asked the student leaders to always be dependable, disciplined and avoid the love for money.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo not accept to be used in fighting other people\u2019s political wars but rather form your own networks through your students associations that will help you to attain strategic national leadership positions in future. Many of us, national leaders, are a product of such student leadership associations. Love your country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Musasizi later officiated at the ceremony for the inauguration of St Charles Lwanga Catholic Parish Kabirizi that was recently curved out of Rubanda Parish. Kabale Diocese Bishop Callist Rubaramira was the main celebrant of Holy Mass.<\/p>\n

St Charles Lwanga parish became the 36th parish of Kabale Catholic Diocese that covers the districts of Kabale, Rubanda, Rukiga, Rukungiri, Kanungu and Kisoro.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are grateful to the Bishop of Kabale diocese and his diocesan administration for accepting to create St Charles Lwanga Roman Catholic Parish because this brings services nearer to the people. Plans are under way to elevate Muko Health Centre IV to a district hospital while many other health centre IIIs will be elevated to health centre IVs with the major objective of bringing health services closer to the people,\u201d Mr Musasizi said.<\/p>\n

Bishop Rubaramira asked Christians to avoid individuals that divert them from serving God.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe created this new parish with an objective of bringing spiritual services nearer to you. Love this parish and its priests if the intended purpose is to be achieved,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

A total of Shs75m was raised in cash and pledges for the construction of the new parish church that is estimated to cost Shs2b.<\/p>\n

Background<\/b><\/p>\n

The government is pushing an aggressive agenda to promote sciences to propel the country forward. President Museveni has on several occasions castigated Arts subjects as \u2018useless\u2019 and that graduates of Arts can hardly solve the country\u2019s problems. But education experts have expressed concern that the government\u2019s policy in promoting sciences has created bias among students on Arts.<\/p>\n
