NEWS-The Minister of Education and Sports, Janet Museveni will hold a press briefing on Friday 1, October 2021, to address several areas of public interest in the education sector.
This was announced by the Education Ministry Spokesperson Dennis Mugimba on Twitter saying that the address will be televised on most television and radio stations at exactly 4:00pm.
The speech comes at a time when a number of education stakeholders are still reacting negatively to the government decision on reopening schools.
In a speech last week, President Museveni said that schools will re-open in January 2022 when a substantial number of teachers, learners above 18 and non teaching staff are vaccinated.
However, the President’s decision has since attracted mixed reactions from the public with some stakeholders saying schools need to re-open as soon as October 2021 to shake off the effects of Covid-19.
