More than 1,688 students from different schools in Bulambuli District have been urged to be ambassadors in fighting indiscipline in schools by embracing patriotism clubs.
The Senior One and Five students, who were drawn from 15 secondary schools, were Tuesday commissioned into patriotic cadreship.
Amir Kamba, the Bulambuli deputy Resident District Commissioner (RDC), while passing out the graduates at Bulegeni SS and St Peters Clever SS, noted that lack of patriotism fuels indiscipline among Ugandans.
“People are not patriotic and only resort to practicing evil acts such as corruption. We need to love our country and live in harmony,” Kamba said.
At the two schools in Bulambuli Districts, students were tipped on ideological orientation, mindset change, principles of patriotism, theory of military drills, among other topics as a foundation for education and professional development.
“This shouldn’t stop only here but more students in other schools should be trained to be patriotic. We need to create awareness so that people should embrace this programme,” Kamba said.
