The same pass out has been done in different schools like; Asinge SSS, Malaba Seed School, and St. Mary Assumpta Mella seed school all in Tororo District.

According to Tororo Deputy Resident District Commissioner  Amula Albert, the main purpose of this training is aimed at boosting and equipping them as responsible and resilient citizens especially Patriotism for a social transformation and modernisation.

The RDC called upon the new patriots to implement what they have been taught during the patriotism training so as to be responsible and resilient citizens. He reminded them to provide security and vigilance at their homes so as to improve on security in their areas.

Amula further urged parents to send their children to school since the turn up at schools is very low because parents are neglecting their role of educating their children.

The patriotism coordinator for Tororo district, Luke Emuron, who is the Head teachers of St. Peter’s College Tororo urged the patriots to remain patriotic to the nation, and uphold patriotic values at all times.

He also urged the head teachers to support patriotism clubs in their schools.
