The Resident District Commissioner (RDC), Emmy Ngabirano, commended government’s commitment to education, noting that 259 seed schools have so far been constructed across the country in phases. He also urged the school administration to uphold inclusivity.
“This school should admit learners from all religious backgrounds without any form of segregation,” Ngabirano said.
