The Vice President, Hon. Jessica Alupo has asked parents to shun taking requirements for their children in schools under universal education as term one opens next week.

Alupo said the parents should instead prepare to take back their children to school on the first day because the government has provided everything in the said learning institutions.

She was speaking during her visit to Mayuge district where she toured the government demonstration farm and launched a fundraising drive for the construction of St Joseph’s Catholic Church, Bukooba in Kityerera sub-county, organized by the Third Deputy Prime Minister, Rukia Isanga Nakadama.

Alupo said even school uniforms should not be a stumbling block to taking these learners back to school on the first day since parents can get them later.
