Do you think the Uganda government should ban primary boarding schools?
BACKGROUND
According
to an article published in the new vision on February 27th 2015,
educationists in Uganda have proposed changes in the education
system, including banning boarding schools at the primary level,
which they say has endangered the family development of children.
Professor Abdu Kasozi, the former executive director of the
National Council for Higher Education said that if the Ugandan
education system is to compete with the changing societal demands and
the highly-technology driven world, a revised education curriculum is
needed. He proposes that the government discourages boarding school
at primary level.
The primary years of a child's growth are
the most important for bonding with family and learning proper social
behaviors needed in adulthood. But while some parents put their
children in boarding school because they are too busy to look after
them, others do it because they do not trust house maids and want to
protect their children from negative influences.
