In a surprising turn of events, Ntare School, one of Uganda’s prestigious institutions, has suspended all senior six candidates just weeks before they were set to sit for their Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education (UACE) final exams. The reason behind this unprecedented decision? Property damage.
The school, renowned for its academic excellence and discipline, took this drastic step following an incident of vandalism that occurred on the school premises. Several students were found to have been involved in the destruction of school property, leaving the administration with no choice but to take stern action.
According to school authorities, the incident took place last weekend when a group of senior six candidates allegedly engaged in reckless behavior, damaging classroom furniture, and defacing school buildings including newly installed CCTV cameras.
This decision comes as a shock to both students and parents, as the UACE final exams were just around the corner.
Mr. Saul Rwampororo, the school’s headteacher, expressed his disappointment in a statement, saying, “The school management has today, 03 October, 2023 decided to indefinitely suspend the entire Senior Six because last night they exhibited a high degree .of indiscipline- they deliberately destroyed school property including the recently installed CCTV Cameras around the school.”
The decision to suspend all senior six candidates is not without controversy. Parents and guardians are now faced with the challenge of finding alternative educational arrangements for their children with the UACE exams fast approaching. Many are expressing their concern over the impact this will have on their children’s academic future.
