I have had an opportunity to discuss with one of the top education stakeholders as far as the drama festival is concerned. He informed me that the theme of this year's drama festival for secondary schools was ‘Leveraging Technology to Nurture Talent while Inculcating National Values for Socio- Economic Development.’ It was about leveraging technology to nurture talent. Looking at the excerpts of what is purported to be the drama play by Butere Girls High School, it has nothing close to technology. At one point you hear the girls saying, “Kasongo must go.” At another point you hear them saying, “We want our rights.” If indeed it is true that the students were chased out of the compound, we condemn such action although that is not confirmed by the authorities. However, we must also speak as parents and say that we are encouraging a rebellious generation, which is not fair. We are raising a generation which believes whatever they say, even if it is wrong, they should not be redirected. That is very wrong. This play does not have any rightful word to praise it. If there was a gap within the education administrative structure that led to the admission of a play that does not align with this year’s theme, even if it is a politician, it should be dealt with. Parents need to ask themselves this question: Why are you clapping that a politician drafted a script for your students in a school? Why should you take pride in a politician who is said to have not gone to any university just because he is creative? His papers are questionable. He is the one who drafts The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
