Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>More than 600 pupils of Amun Primary School, Apoi Sub-county in Apac District have been sent back home after a strong wind blew off part of the school roof on Monday.<\/p>\n

The disaster left one classroom block and the office of the head teacher in ruins.<\/p>\n

Mr Denis Nengo, a parent, said that children were sent home on Monday. He said those who went to school on Tuesday and Wednesday were also sent back home.<\/p>\n

\u201cI returned from the garden and found my children at home and when I asked them they said the deputy head teacher told them to come home and return on Friday with their parents,\u201d he told this publication on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Mr Thomas Oloro, the head teacher, confirmed that learners were sent home to give them time to reorganise and rectify the problem caused by the disaster.<\/p>\n

\u201cI closed the school immediately after the incident for fear of electric shock because our line that connects the building is exactly where the iron sheets landed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Patrick Opyene, the school Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) chairperson, said the stakeholders\u2019 meeting is scheduled for Friday to forge a way forward following the disaster.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn that meeting we are expecting to come up with measures of putting back the roof which has been blown off by the wind,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Apac District Education Officer, Mr Bosco Elyak, said there was no need of closing the school.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will be attending the meeting scheduled for Friday, and I will make sure that the school is reopened immediately so that normal lessons can resume,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
