Does being responsible need one to belong to a political party? Patriotism teaches one to be responsible and so in case of learners like these ones, they will not engage in strikes because they know the school and all the property therein belongs to them,\u201d Mr Sseburimage said.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Sseburimage, who urged students to love their country, also asked them to avoid behaviours that might derail them from their target of excelling in academics.<\/p>\n<p>He said acts like pre-marital sex, homosexuality and drug abuse are some of the bad acts that can ruin their future.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Abdul Batambuze, the Kayunga District Chief Administrative Officer, said it is disappointing that many Ugandans had abdicated their responsibilities and obligations to others<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou should keep the discipline they have taught you and you should persevere because if you don\u2019t, you will have no place in this world,\u201d Mr Batambuze advised.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Constantine Kawuma, the school head teacher said patriotism training is one way of instilling discipline in learners and protecting the environment.<\/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.
