Mahyoro Seed Secondary School in Mahyoro Town Council has held its first site meeting ahead of the commencement of construction works under the Uganda Secondary Education Expansion Programme (USEEP).
The project follows lobbying efforts by the Kitagwenda District Woman Member of Parliament, Hon. Dorothy Nyakato, who engaged the Ministry of Education and Sports to secure the development for the school.
The site meeting was chaired by the Deputy Chief Administrative Officer (Deputy CAO) and brought together key district and education officials, including the deputy Resident District Commissioner (RDC) Benjamin Tumusiime, LC3 chairperson Mahyoro Town Council Joshua Atumanya, an Education Engineer from the Ministry of Education and Sports, Chairperson of the District Social Works Committee Hon. Jimmy Bainomugisha, Headteacher and a representative of the Parents and Teachers Association (PTA).
Under the project, the school is set to benefit from a three-classroom block, a five-stance VIP latrine for boys, a five-stance VIP latrine for girls, an incinerator and a water supply stand.
Speaking during the meeting, Mahyoro S.S. Headteacher Denis Baguma welcomed the project, saying the new facilities would help address congestion at the school and create a better learning environment.
Baguma expressed optimism that the improved infrastructure would contribute to better teaching and ultimately enhance learners’ academic performance.
Meanwhile, in a telephone interview with our reporter, the Chairperson of the Mahyoro Secondary School Board of Governors, Dr. Eric Nzibonera, welcomed the development, describing the construction project as long overdue.
