For parents and guardians, this means digging deeper into the pockets to clear fees. For pupils and students, no more holidaying.

KAMPALA - Schools have today opened for the first term of the 2019 academic year.

 

For parents and guardians, this means digging deeper into the pockets to clear fees. For pupils and students, no more holidaying.

 

Just last week, complaints about "unneccessary" school requirements were posted on social media, with many people calling for government intervention.

 

For the taxman and boda boda guy, it is time for business - making endless trips to schools.

 

Meanwhile, some schools wasted no time to roll out class timetables and teachers to get down to business.

 

New Vision photographers visited several schools and captured the moments.
