Parents are often confused by the changes and diseases children are diagnosed with during the first days of reporting back to school for a new term. This is in most cases physically seen among children losing weight.
A child who weighed, for example, 60kgs when in holiday suddenly cuts weight to 55kgs. This is often attributed to change of diet and also the new environment which may affect them immediately. The argument is that at home they get enough food and drinks which may not be the case with boarding schools.
Agnes Kimushabire, a mother of three girls in primary school in Namasuba, a Kampala suburb shared her ordeal. "When I see them get sick at the beginning of the term instead of catching up with the school term activities, I get disappointed in the school and the rest of the parents who can't ensure personal hygiene for their children and keep school premises clean so that they shouldn't have such cases when the term has just begun," she added.
The parents encourage fellow parents and school administrators of any school out there to ensure that the students live in a clean environment and to clear the bushes around their schools and clean the areas around them to reduce infections.Royce Atukunda, a nurse at Jekov Medical Center, Kansanga, says many students report with typhoid and malaria when from home.
