Pupils who are about to join secondary schools, have been warned against engaging in acts of homosexuality, that has recently become rampant in the country.
The call was made by Reverend Rev. Peluce Kajumba Akiiki of St. Steven Kasiisi Church of Uganda on Tuesday while preaching to pupils, teachers, parents at the Thanksgiving service for Kasiisi Primary school, following the good performance in the just released PLE results by the Ministry of Education.
Rev. Kajumba, noted that homosexuality is now rampant in churches, schools and homes, hence called upon parents, teachers, religious and local leaders to openly come out and fight the vice.
She further asked parents to stop discouraging their children who have not performed well in the 2022 PLE results, noting that such children often become successful in the future
She however asked pupils to observe discipline when they join secondary and tertiary schools and in the next step of their lives.
Kasiisi P/s performance
Moses Musinguzi, the Head teacher Kasiisi Primary school, said that of the 216 candidates who sat the exams at their school, 34 got first grade, 181 got second grade and 1 candidate was absent.
He also emphasized pupils discipline in secondary schools and warned pupils to avoid bad peer groups when they join secondary school.
William Mutembuzi, the inspector of schools Kabarole District, thanked God for the good performance for Kasiisi Primary school in the 2022 PLE exams and said that the education department, is set to continue supporting the school.
According to Mutembuzi, 3840 candidates who sat the PLE exam in the district, 1000 came in first division and this puts the district in the ninth position country wide.

While chairing the Tuesday plenary sitting, Tayebwa said he had been receiving ‘painful’ stories about how students are getting forced into homosexuality and lesbianism.
I am getting painful stories about homosexuality and many people are dying in silence. It seems our schools have been infiltrated and recruitment centres are open. It’s extremely sad. Our children have been grabbed and sodomized. We must tackle this issue head-on without fear. pic.twitter.com/VlwwI8hITm
