When it rains, the lessons are halted because the chalkboard becomes wet. We have the fear that the entire building may collapse on our pupils anytime, we need help,\u201d Mr Ssemanda said in an interview on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Flavia Kabagabe, a Primary Four teacher, said that whenever it rains, they all converge in one of the corners of the classroom to avoid getting soaked in water.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll our classrooms are appalling, apart from the broken roof, they have no windows, and doors,\u201d she complained.<\/p>\n<p>Mr David Ssegawa, the Lwabenge Sub County chairperson, said that pupils studying in such an environment can hardly get good grades and appealed to the government and other well-wishers to help the school get new structures.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wonder why government builds new schools yet it has failed to rehabilitate the existing ones,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Kalungu District Education Officer Ms Grace Sylvia Nakanwagi in a telephone interview said she is not aware of the current sorry state of classrooms at St. Charles Lwanga Primary School.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI cannot report on what I don\u2019t understand, it seems the person who took you there wanted to make news, but I don\u2019t think there is anything you can report about,\u201d Ms Nakanwagi said on phone before hanging up.<\/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.
