NEWS- Nyakinama seed school students on Friday 10th Nov, 2023 stormed the office of the Kisoro Deputy Resident District Commissioner over school administration denying them food for a week.
The School head Prefect Ivan Iraguha told this reporter that other classes have been getting lunch with an exception of senior three classes and others have not yet cleared to zero balances. Additionally, the school head girl Victoria Kushemererwa revealed she was annoyed by the deputy head teacher Ayebare Emmanuel Biganja who has made it clear that senior three students will be denied end of year examinations.
The school head teacher Mukiibi Abdu pointed out that the students made a wrong decision of not visiting his office if his deputy failed to solve their issues and called students for peace talks. However, the deputy denied allegations of denying students meals but rather put the blame to the teacher who was on duty.
Deputy Resident District Commissioner Robert Tukamuhebwa and Kisoro District boss Abel Bizimana asked the head teacher and his authorities to ensure that through all procedures, students are given examinations because they are pioneers of the school so that they can pay the remaining balances later.
