Kabale: Grace Ankunda Bekunda, aspiring for the woman MP seat in the 2026 elections in Kabale District, urged the youth to prioritize education for a better future.
She made this call yesterday while addressing Christians at St. Emmanuel C.O.U. Parish Bunyonyi on Bwama Island in Kabale district during the induction of Rev. Dickson and Mrs. Gift Mushabe.
Bekunda encouraged the youth by stating that the current world is different from the past, where one could rely solely on assets like land and animals.
She explained that with the shortage of land for farming and rearing animals, education has become an essential tool for success.
She appealed to parents to prioritize educating their children, emphasizing that education is the best legacy they can leave for their loved ones.
During the ceremony, Bekunda underscored the importance of moral values for youth and called for collaboration between teachers and students to improve primary school performance. She also advocated for the implementation of practice exams to aid students in their revisions.
Furthermore, Bekunda highlighted the significance of preserving Bwama’s historical structures to attract tourists, citing the area’s rich vegetation and historical impact.
