May 31, 2011
PARENTS should care for their children by providing food, clothes and medical care when they are sick. They should talk to them about the advantages of education and the challenges that come with illiteracy.

Parents should also inculcate a reading culture in their children by buying them textbooks and advising them to read those books both at home and at school.
Parents are also advised to pay school fees in time. Fees should be paid directly to the bank or at school since some children are fond of squandering their school fees.
Some parents force children into hard labour instead of giving them ample time to revise their notes and complete their homework. Such parents should know that the little money that comes from child labour might force children to drop out of school.
Parents are advised to monitor their children’s . Many day scholars do not get enough time to concentrate on their books because they spend time fetching water, going to the market at odd hours which is dangerous especially for girls who can easily fall prey to boys and men’s advances, leading to poor performance.
Parents and teachers should also avoid dodging meetings and visitation days.
Some teachers give parents who wish to inquire about their children’s academic standing a hard time because some children lie.
Unfortunately, the fact that good teachers do not want to teach in rural areas has compounded the problem. Parents, children and teachers should work hand in hand with the Government to improve the quality of education in Uganda.
