Parents Urged to Take Full Responsibility for Children’s Education

Rukungiri: Parents have been urged to take full responsibility for their children’s education to ensure better results and a brighter future.

This message was delivered by the head teacher of Kinyasano Boarding Primary School, Benard Tumushangye, on August 21, during a Parents and Teachers Association (PTA) meeting held at the school premises in Kinyasano, Western Division, Rukungiri Municipality.

Tumushangye encouraged parents not to rely only on government support but to actively support their children’s learning. He also appealed to parents to help their children with remedial work during the holidays so they can catch up on missed lessons. 

Tumushangye further advised them to keep their children engaged and productive during the holiday period.

Ngabirano urged parents to also teach their children domestic work at home and encouraged them to attend school meetings to discuss issues such as school fees for the sake of improving education standards.
