Gumisiriza Obadiah, Kajunju Primary School head teacher outlined how low school enrollment is caused by parents’ practice of moving their children to different schools.
Gumisiriza stated that they hope to see an increase in pupils’ enrollment because the government built a structure in addition to the four classroom blocks that will be built.
Over 100M shillings was raised during the function and the big portion was contributed by “Abanya Ruhinda ba Rujumbura”.
