Uganda has ended the world’s longest school closure, ordering millions of students back to the classroom after a gap of nearly two years.
Some fifteen million pupils have not attended school in Uganda since March 2020 when classrooms were shuttered as COVID-19 swept the world.
Education Minister, Mr. John Muyingo said all students would automatically resume classes a year above where they left off.
Mr. Muyingo warned that any private school demanding fees above pre-pandemic rates would be sanctioned.
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni lifted the bulk of COVID-19-related restrictions in the country in September last year, but he left schools shuttered.
