Uganda: 'City Schools Lack Toilets'

By Lilian Namagembe

Kampala — More than half of the schools in Kampala don't meet the recommended pupil- toilet stance ratio as recommended by the Ministry of Education, the Kampala Capital City Authority executive director has said.

KCCA has a supervisory mandate to oversee education service delivery on behalf of government in 2,000 education institutions in the city. "According to our records, only 43 per cent of KCCA schools meet the recommended pupil - toilet stance ratio while 69 per cent of schools don't have provisions for children with special needs," said Ms Jennifer Musisi at the launch of the NSSF Kampala 7 Hills Run that is due this Sunday in Kampala.

NSSF managing director Richard Byarugaba said the Fund will progressively raise funds to contribute to the improvement of learning conditions in Kampala schools.

The recommended ratio is 40:1 but some KCCA UPE schools have 80:1. The three-year NSSF, KCCA and Kampala Hash Harriers initiative is aimed at raising Shs240 million to be chanelled to more than 40 KCCA schools.

"But this I know, UPC believed and still believes in

very high education. We can call Obote all bad names we have, but the bottom line remains that he got more scholarships for Buganda than all previous Uganda leaders combined. That includes Sir Edward Mutesa, President Lule, President Binayisa, up to and into Ssabasajja Mutebi. Who all happen to be Baganda leaders." Mulindwa
