{UAH} Luweero - Verge of A New Revolutional Era

Children go fishing - as wazelendo go farming.

He says most of the pupils have resorted to selling bananas and fishing, leaving the classes almost empty. He says the most affected is the primary one class which had 73 pupils at start of this year but now boasts of only 14 pupils, P2 has seven out of 46, P3 has eight from 51 and Primary Five with five pupils up from 62.

Ujima explains that they have tried to sweet talk parents to encourage their children to stay in school in vain. He says that a large number of his former pupils pass by the school each day to go fishing at River Mayanja. Ujima says that although the school was established in 1986, only two of its former pupils have become grade 3 teachers, which has created a negative attitude amongst the community towards education.
