Education and Sports Minister Janet Museveni has asked teachers across the country to embrace the covid-19 vaccination that is underway for selected groups of people.

Opening the 3rd National Teachers’ Symposium, themed: A digitally competent teaching force for the 21st century”, Janet said no teacher should miss out on this opportunity for their own safety and that of the learners under their care.

She however says that teachers should not abandon the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) set by the government after being vaccinated saying they remain crucial even after immunization.

Janet Museveni urged teachers to find ways of compensating learners with the content they missed out when institutions of learning were closed due to the covid-19 pandemic.

She said government would invest heavily intoICT to digitalize education system.

In separate news, the Health Minister, Dr. Jane Ruth Aceng said in an interview with journalists that initial vaccine doses will go to the most vulnerable. This is because they face a higher risk of contracting the virus.

‘’The priority groups to receive the COVID-19 vaccination in a staggered manner are all health care workers, teachers, security personnel, adults aged 50 and above,’’ Aceng noted.
