Makerere University enters Bobi Wine age saga
March 16, 2021 Bobi Wine
City lawyer Male Mabirizi now wants former presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine s diploma in Music, Dance and Drama (MDD) from Makerere University recalled over alleged fraudulent admission.
According to Mabirizi, Makerere has availed him with details of Kyagulanyi s admission in 2000 which indicate that he was not yet technically mature nor qualified for the diploma in MDD program. Makerere University has written to me giving me the policy for admission of mature entry for 2000 and it actually proves that Kyagulanyi was illegally admitted for a diploma course in 2000 because contrary to the policy availed to me Kyagulanyi was below 25 years in 2000 - that is 20 years because he said he was born in 1980. At the same time, he had not yet spent 5 years without formal education - him having sat his A-level in 1998. That means Kyagulanyi’s ad

Special needs pupils at Spire Road Primary School in Jinja City are struggling to implement the standard operating procedures (SOPs) because the more-friendly pupils who act as their guides are in lower classes which have not been cleared to return.
The school has about 54 visually-impaired pupils and the administration and parents, with support from Rotary Club of Jinja, has constructed a boarding section for them.
As schools reopen for sub-candidate classes today, many teachers will not return to classrooms due to low salaries and poor working conditions worsened by the one-year closure due to the COVID-19 lockdown.
This comes as semi-candidates are set to return to school today.
Many of the non-returning teachers mainly in private schools, faced with no payment and other challenges of the lockdown, ventured into alternative income-generating projects.
However, others in government-aided schools, despite having been receiving their monthly salaries, have also abandoned teaching after discovering better-paying enterprises.
In Kabale District, for instance, Mr Moses Muhangi Tweyongyere, a secondary school geography teacher, who was earning Shs300,000 per month in a private school, is not returning to teaching.
