KITEBI, WAKISO – Parents and education providers have been urged to strengthen their commitment to early childhood education as a foundation for nurturing responsible citizens and building Uganda’s future workforce.
The call was made by Hajjat Hadijah Namyalo Uzeiye, Manager of the Office of the National Chairman (ONC) and Senior Presidential Advisor on Political Affairs, while presiding over a graduation ceremony at Cambridge Kindergarten and Daycare in Kitebi.
Namyalo highlighted the importance of investing in young children during their formative years, noting that quality education equips learners with essential knowledge and skills needed to navigate future challenges.
She applauded the management of Cambridge Kindergarten and Daycare for its contribution to nurturing young learners and laying the groundwork for their academic and personal development.
According to Namyalo, supporting educational institutions is part of the broader effort to develop Uganda’s human resource and prepare the next generation to participate meaningfully in national development.
“This school’s investment goes a long way in mentoring and developing Uganda’s human resource,” she said.
The ONC Manager also recognised the role played by President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni in creating an environment that supports the growth of the education sector.
She called upon parents, teachers and other education stakeholders to complement government efforts by ensuring that children have access to learning opportunities.
“President Museveni has established a conducive environment. We must work hard to ensure that children receive an education without difficulty,” Namyalo added.
She further applauded parents for the sacrifices and financial commitment involved in taking their children through school, describing family support as an important pillar in a child’s educational journey.
The ceremony brought together parents, teachers, invited guests and members of the school community to celebrate the children’s transition to another stage of learning.
For the graduating pupils, the occasion represented an early milestone in their academic journey, as they received recognition for completing their kindergarten education.
The event also highlighted the importance of collaboration between families, schools and government in strengthening the foundations of education and preparing children for future responsibilities.
