Early this week, the Deputy Speaker of parliament asked the Ministry of Education to jump into action and regulate the hiking schools fees and requirements as the new term for this year has began.
The speaker was in parliament and reacting to cries of parents who were complaining of the sky rocketing schools fees especially in private schools where some are charging schools fees and requirements more than what universities are asking from Degree students.
Now in a rather dramatic turn of events, there’s this school which has included chicken among the requirements to be brought by new students, not a piece of chicken but a live chicken. Child Care Nursery and Primary School in Kabale District is where every learner is required to take a hen which is one of the requirement for those reporting for first term.
According to the Director Innocent Mbiine, parents resolved in 2019 to start up a poultry project to improve on the diet of their kids at school and they so far had 20 birds at the farm but needed more to kickstart this project and would also help management to rise some ka money.
Well, some schools ask students to report with a Wheel burrow, spade, a bag of cement, hoes among other requirements which every one perceives as weird but well more will be asked because the new curriculum has a lot to offer in terms of projects by students. A lot will be asked including piglets because New curriculum students are trained on project based education.
