By Francis Nizeyimana  

Dr. Leo Mfitimana, has donated food items worth millions of shillings to cater for P7 candidates’ lunch while they write their exams.

Two cows, four sacks of Irish potatoes, four bags of rice, tomatoes, onions and 1,200 bottles of soft drinks were yesterday received and distributed to eight examination centers in Kisoro municipality.

These include Seseme Primary School, Bright valley, Kisoro Hill, Kisoro Demo, Real Quality, Shalom Primary school and St Allen’s primary school.

Dr Leo said many parents are already struggling to raise money to keep their children in school therefore this is a motivation to them.

Over 700,000 candidates from 14,000 Examination centers countrywide are set to begin their 2023 Primary Leaving Examinations today.

The Primary Seven candidates will write their final exams from 8^th to 9^th of November 2023 while the Senior Six candidates are expected to sit their UACE exams from November 13^th to December 1^st, 2023.

CUE IN… Dr. LEO ON LUNCH…

Educators including the Acting Municipal Principal Education Officer Sabiti Mugema said the decision is commendable and his support to the pupils will never be forgotten.

Head teacher of Seseme Integrated Primary School Samuel Baker Munyantwari thanked Dr Leo for supporting the pupils with a hearty meal for the two days.

According to the Government guidelines, Primary Seven Pupils are not supposed to leave school to go and have lunch and then return to write the afternoon exams.
