In many countries outside Africa, classroom hours are less, but still people learn and develop. Perhaps Uganda is one of the countries where students stay longest in class on a typical school day - especially in boarding schools.
On top of the long class hours, day scholars return home with daily loads of homework. They’re even given more work to carry home for weekends! School books and homework become a nuisance at home! What special output justifies this intensive schooling?
Dear Minister of Education, we really need to do something about this. This kind of schooling destroys brains and wholesome growth of our people. Many grade-obsessed parents can’t speak out, some fearing the blackmail from schools asking them to take their children elsewhere. Classwork is important, but education and life in general are not all about books.
It’s going down tomorrow at Kamwokya TLC.

Mbale Secondary School has awarded Shs1 million to each of the four students who scored 20 points in the recently released UACE results. The school headteacher Moses Buyera, appreciated both the students and teachers for the outstanding performance. While handing over the money to the top students on March 23, 2026, he encouraged other learners to work harder so they too can earn such recognition.

That’s a lot of pressure on the girl. She was put in a fix. The people who pressured her to say “yes” are not going to be in their marriage when things wrong. Girl child, avoid this public pressure from strangers.
