The Ministry of Education and Sports has warned all schools preparing to conduct coaching during holidays to stop it with immediate effect.
This follows a holiday notice from an Entebbe-based school, informing parents and guardians of Senior Three, Four, Five and Six students to prepare for a three-week “Term X” coaching that will be conducted at Shs200,000 per student.
However, the Ministry of Education and Sports spokesperson, Dennis Mugimba, noted that the Ministry school calendar does not include anything called Term X explaining that there is a reason school holidays are scheduled.
Mugimba said schools should let parents to mobilise resources for next term and also allow learners to rest.
According to the Ministry of Education and sports academic calendar, the First Term is expected to close on May 5th and the Second Term opens on May 29th.
