Madam Minister of Education and Sports, how will some of these approaches benefit the rural students /Pupils ? can they afford ?

The self- Study pull outs will be published in the New Vision and Bukedde Newspapers as follows:
Fri: P4&P5
Sat: P6&P7
Sun: S1&S2
Mon: S3&S4
Tues: S5&S6
Wed: P1
Thurs: P2&P3

Am seeing discrimination in most approaches :

TV lessons
Radio lessons
Printing media
Online registration of candidates.
There are millions of parents who don't have or can't afford either of the above making it impossible for their children to access.
I kindly seek for patience with the rural poor Ugandans who are challenged in this lockdown.

Dear
Minister of Education and Sports,
HE,General Yoweri Museveni
I am concerned with contradicting directives specifically in Education sector,
1.How effective is the online registration for candidates especially at rural settings ?
2.Do you believe that rural parents have registration fees for candidates with this lockdown?
3.Why halt the UCU online examination and you okay UNEB online registration of candidates ?
In my opinion, life first and the rest will follow and besides there should be a grace period to rural parents to meet their obligations.

On a personal note ,I appeal to Government to pay for all rural candidates in Uganda, examination registration fee in order to avoid drop out of candidates failing to register timely as a result of economic impact.

My opinion

I now doubt whether members of parliamentary committee of discipline are disciplined members.

The speaker and members of the parliamentary committee of discipline should instead appear before the poor Ugandans for justice.

Dear Mr. President and Ministry of health, millions of Ugandans are faithfully observing the directives, thousands of businesses are in stake, thousands of people will lose their jobs, lives are lost in the shutdown because of hunger silently.
My concern is about the cargo drivers and border cases rising day by day, should Ugandans pay the price of Kenya and Tanzania?
What is the standard rule on a crisis like this by the East African community?
I pray for a quick and fast decision on this matter to avoid most Ugandans becoming 'idiots' because of unbearable economic terms and unnecessary extension of lock down because of careless neighbor(s)

My opinion.

The disabled are part of us, we can not exclude them.

The following are various disability-specific barriers that the government and other stakeholders need to understand and appreciate while planning and managing COVID 19 response in Uganda.

1. Persons with disabilities are at increased risk of developing more severe symptoms and dying due to weak immune system, inaccessible health care institutions, homelessness, neglect, experiences of discrimination and traumatisation in the systems.
2. Persons with visual impairments, for example, are susceptible to contracting COVID19 since they heavily rely on third parties such as guides/helpers to in their day to day lives. As we are practising social distancing of at least 4 meters, this is hard for persons with visual impairment since they have to depend on support persons while carrying out their daily duties.

3. Communication gaps such as lack of sign language interpreters at the health centres make it hard for deaf people to access proper health facilities since they are not able to effectively communicate with the health workers. The requirement of calling RDCs on phone in case of emergencies will be difficult especially certain categories of persons with disabilities such as the deaf. This implies such categories may go unattended too hence worsening the fight against This situation would be helped by allowing the use of sign language interpreters to accompany them in such circumstances.
4. The inaccessible health centres and facilities make it difficult for the person with disabilities to access the services due to the limited ramps and some of the ramps available do not meet the accessibility standards that are in the Building Control Act. This makes it hard for persons with mobility challenges to access health services especially during this pandemic with the stringent guidelines in place.
5. There exist barriers in accessing health information on how to protect themselves against the virus and how to manage it in case of anything. Some disability categories are disadvantaged for instance the deaf, blind and the Deafblind persons when the information is disseminated inaccessible modes.
6. There is no standard operating procedure or circular on how to deal with vulnerable members of the p***c such as persons with disabilities and specifically pregnant women with disabilities in the COVID 19 response.
7. All the COVID 19 response such as mitigation plans and COVID 19 committees are not having representatives of persons with disabilities to provide expert opinion on disability management.
