RUKUNGIRI: As Senior Four candidates across the country sit for their Uganda Certificate of Education (UCE) exams, the Rukungiri Assistant Resident District Commissioner (ARDC), Mirembe Mabel Karazarwe, has urged parents of day school students to allow their children more time for study during this crucial period.
Speaking at her office at the Rukungiri District Headquarters on Monday, Karazarwe highlighted that many parents engage their children in domestic chores, particularly in the evenings, which reduces their study time. She pointed out that this places day scholars at a disadvantage compared to their peers in boarding schools.
Karazarwe called on parents to offer the necessary support and resources to enable their children to concentrate on their exams without added pressure, especially since these students are the pioneers of the new curriculum.
She also applauded teachers for their dedication and hard work, wishing all candidates success in their exams.
