Which of the following is the best way to promote patriotism?
BACKGROUND:
Government
is in the final stages of drafting a law on patriotism. Minister for
presidency Frank Tumwebaze said that the patriotism bill instructs
citizens to love and defend their country.
The
minister was appearing before the committee to account for the 2.5
billion shillings Parliament allocated last year to the Patriotism
Secretariat in the office of the President.
According
to Minister, patriotism seems to be declining among the citizens. He
cites run-away corruption and endless strikes in schools and protests by
people as possible reasons.
Minister
Tumwebaze proposes that under the new law, the ministry of education
will have to include patriotism on the schools syllabus from primary
level.
Currently,
government runs a patriotism secretariat in the office of the
president.
The secretariat officials routinely visit schools to run
patriotism classes. Critics say patriotism is inborn and cannot be
taught; they therefore see this as waste of taxpayers' money.
