Gulu School closed again over floods

By Vision Reporter

Barely a week after Pawel Ayiga Primary School in Patiko Sub County Gulu district was re-opened, the school has again been closed due to floods.

Andrew Lamola Odong, the Head Teacher of the school said the school was first closed on October 28, 2013 following a directive from the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) after floods rendered the school unhygienic for pupils and teachers.

Lamola said the school was re-opened on Monday and when it rained heavily, its latrines were affected by the floods causing wastes to flow on the school compound.

He said requested the CAO to have the school closed since the situation there posed a health risk to pupils and teachers.
