School proprietors in Hoima City have been asked to emphasize co-curricular activities so that appropriate skills are imparted into the children.
The call was made by Johnson Kusiima Baingana, the principle educational officer Hoima city, during an education meeting graced by head teachers of public and private schools in Hoima City held at St Bernadatte Model primary school in Hoima City.
He has noted that combining co-curricular activities with academics helps children develop different skills beyond knowledge of subjects and can help to improve teaching techniques at school.
He says every activity in school plays a significant role in the development of students and children and are essential part of school life that helps in enhancing learning processes.
“If we have organized ball games, music dance and drama, you are not so special not to participate in government organized activities,” says Kusiima.
He has also vowed to penalize schools that do not take part in such activities yet they are recorded on the academic calender.
