The NRM Deputy Secretary General, Rt Hon Rose Namayanja Nsereko, has applauded investors in the educational sector for taking good advantage of the government’s policy of liberalizing the sector by creating jobs for Ugandans.
Schools have created jobs for teachers, support personnel, service providers, and suppliers.
“This has supplemented the government’s efforts to transform Ugandans into the money economy,” Rt Hon Namayanja said.
The celebrations were marked with a range of activities, including exhibitions where students showcased various skills ranging from music, dance, poetry, and the goose march.
She added that education is important if a nation is to develop. She thanked the school administration of the St. Lawrence Schools for organizing the activities that were “beautifully” exhibited by the students, something she said would positively impact the lives of the students in the future.
On his part, Mujumba John Bosco, the President of the Private Schools Association, applauded the NRM government for creating a working environment in the country that has enabled many private schools and businesses to prosper.
