Counsel Isaac Atukunda, the Rukungiri Municipality hopeful Member of Parliament has asked old students to keep in touch with their former schools and give them due support.
He said that former schools made most of the people what they are and thus have the responsibility to keep in touch with them and also participate in their development programs.
Atukunda made the revelation yesterday Saturday while addressing as the guest of honor during the fundraising towards the construction of three classrooms, six stance-latrines and purchasing of computers at Kyatoko Primary School in Eastern division Rukungiri municipality.
Speaking to the audience, Counsel Isaac Atukunda explained that individuals should work together to raise the educational standards of the next generation rather than having the pitiful belief that the government is the only entity that needs to support their schools.
