Kitgum: The management of Global View Preparatory School in Pager division, Kitgum Municipality has initiated school gardening for its pupils in a bid to embrace practical learning.
According to Ms. Namalike Lucy Onekalit, the school Co-Director, demonstration gardens have been established for each class, with students planting and caring for specific crops until harvest.
For example, the primary seven class has planted cabbage, while the primary six students are engaged in tomato planting.
She added that this initiative aims to promote practical learning and produce citizens who can exhibit the practical skills they have learned.
