THE Ministry of Education and Sports is to dismiss and de-register teachers who defile students and pupils, a senior ministry official has said.
Yusuf Nsubuga, the commissioner for secondary education, said this on Saturday at Kasese Secondary School at the school’s celebrations.
Nsubuga was responding to the school headmaster, Benson Baritazale Kule’s report which noted that sugar daddies were targeting “AIDS-free†school girls in Kasese town schools.
The district education officer, Douglas Katemba, in a report delivered for him by the district acting schools inspector, Elisha Muliwabyo, said there was an alarming schoolgirl dropout in the district.
Katemba blamed the trend on defilement, early pregnancy and cultural practices.
He said parents subjected girls to more domestic labour.
Nsubuga wondered why men were ruining the schoolgirls instead of going in for “very many women around willing to be married.â€
“Defilers should hang,†he said, adding that the defilement law was ineffective.
