Officials in Soroti District are calling on parents and head teachers to revive co-curricular activities, particularly scouting, to enhance children’s learning and upbringing.
The appeal came during the 2026 Head Teachers’ Planning Meeting, attended by representatives from the Soroti District Education Department and head teachers from government primary schools.
Soroti District hosts 69 government primary schools, yet participation in scouting has dropped alarmingly.
Historically, fewer than 20 schools consistently sent pupils to scouting events, and in 2025, only 12 schools participated, highlighting a concerning trend of neglect. Over the years, many head teachers in Soroti have largely abandoned co-curricular activities, even though the Ministry of Education and Sports provides quarterly funding.
Richard Etidu, Soroti District Sports Officer, urges head teachers to follow Ministry guidelines.
