Dr. Chrysostom Muyingo issued a warning to schools that are teaching none finalists. He said they risk losing their licenses if caught by the authorities.
Information reached Ministry of Education following the reports from media that there were plans by schools to open for non candidates to complete the syllabus of this academic year.
Dr. J.C Muyingo advised schools to adhere to the Presidential directives regarding the running of schools. He asked them to be patient until school is open to other students as well.
He emphasized the fact that any school that is bringing in other students is actually breaking the law and if caught will dance to the tunes.
The President only opened schools for candidates in primary and secondary plus finalists in tertiary Institutions and Universities. Others may have to wait till next year as solutions to Covid are being devised.
Some schools however decided to adapt to e learning especially for universities. Continuing students study online using available applications like zoom, google duo among others.
However, we can not take away the fact that some schools can’t afford running this kind of system. Most institutions argued and said candidate classes dont produce enough resources to run the school.
This is why they were thinking of opening other classes too. This however seems risky at the moment as cases keep going high plus the death rates. It simply means institutions either adhere to these directives or just wait for things to stabilize.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
