First Lady and Education and Sports Minister Janet Kataaha Museveni has dismissed reports that she was considering postponing the reopening of educational institutions to candidates and finalists as directed by the President in his recent plan to ease the lockdown.
While updating the country of the status of implementation of the National Resistance Movement (NRM) government manifesto for the education sector at State House Entebbe on Saturday, Ms Janet Museveni said there was no way she would contradict the president’s position because it had been approved by Cabinet in which she is a member.
On when the Ministry will issue the revised calendar for schools opening up to candidates and finalists, Ms Museveni said: “It has to be soon, I can’t tell you exactly when. We are discussing and we have many concerns now like I am sure more than ever. Before these children go back to school, we need to have all the answers ourselves so that we can guide the schools.”
