FRIDAY February 18 will be a public holiday to enable Ugandans elect their leaders, information and national guidance minister Kabakumba Matsiko has said.
Today, secondary schools break off for holidays, ahead of the polls. The education ministry last week said the short holiday was to allow students who registered at polling centres in their home area to leave school on February 16 and return on February 21.
If some or all students in a particular school registered at its campus, head teachers should, according to the Government, declare February 17 to 20, a half term holiday.
Senior One students are expected to report to school on Monday next week, and those of Senior Five on Friday February 21.
Francis Lubanga, the permanent secretary of the Ministry of Education, said they extended the Senior Five start day to allow students vote for district leaders.
