  • Music Meets Mission as EICA Holi Festival Raises Cancer Awareness

    Music Meets Mission as EICA Holi Festival Raises Cancer Awareness

    Music, culture, and a shared commitment to social impact came together at Kampala Parents School as the East Indian Cultural Association (EICA) hosted its annual Holi musical festival, a two-day celebration held as part of the wider Holi festivities in Kampala. This year’s event carried a powerful message of community responsibility, with the festival dedicated to raising awareness about cancer and supporting outreach initiatives that take awareness campaigns to villages across Uganda.

    Cancer remains a growing public health concern in Uganda, with many cases still detected at advanced stages due to limited awareness and delayed screening. Health advocates continue to emphasize the importance of community education in addressing the challenge.

    Through its outreach initiatives, EICA has been supporting awareness campaigns that travel to rural communities, helping families understand the importance of early detection, regular medical check-ups, and timely treatment.

    By linking the Holi celebrations to this cause, the association, in partnership with Plascon and other stakeholders, sought to use the power of culture and community gatherings to spotlight an issue that affects thousands of Ugandan families.

    The evening began shortly after 8:00 PM, as members of the Indian community, invited guests, and cultural enthusiasts streamed into the venue. Many arrived dressed in vibrant traditional attire, reflecting the festive spirit associated with Holi celebrations. Families exchanged warm greetings while children moved excitedly through the grounds, as anticipation built for the night’s performances.

    Opening the programme were energetic performances by children’s cultural dance groups, whose colourful costumes and lively choreography immediately captured the audience’s attention. The young performers drew enthusiastic applause from the crowd, setting the tone for a night that blended cultural pride with community celebration.

    The highlight of the evening was a captivating performance by celebrated Bollywood playback singer Shraddha Pandit. Taking to the stage to loud cheers, Pandit delivered a dynamic musical set featuring a mix of beloved Bollywood classics and contemporary hits. Her powerful vocals and engaging stage presence quickly transformed the atmosphere into a lively concert, with many in the audience singing along and dancing throughout the performance.

    Kansai Plascon continued the company’s longstanding commitment to supporting cultural initiatives and community engagement within Uganda’s Indian diaspora by stepping in as a main sponsor.

    The festival was attended by the company’s Managing Director, Santosh Gumte, who was recognized by the East Indian cultural Association with an award in recognition for his and Plascon’s valuable contribution to the country and society towards community development.

    He in his brief remarks reaffirmed the company’s pride in supporting an event that not only celebrates culture and unity but also contributes to meaningful causes. He highlighted that Kansai Plascon’s involvement reflects its broader commitment to community development and social responsibility, particularly initiatives that create awareness around important health issues such as cancer.

  • Champion Ogudo Blessed With A Scholarship At Kampala Parents School

    Champion Ogudo Blessed With A Scholarship At Kampala Parents School

    The Ruparelia Foundation  has offered a scholarship for Tik Tok sensation Champion Ogudo for his entire primary education at their elite Kampala Parents’ School.

    Champion Ogudo is a Tik Toker, rapper and self styled bodyguard to rapper Alien Skin. The trending rapper Alien Skin has been criticised for keeping the minor Champion Ogudo out of school and instead having the boy accompanying him to night performances in bars and other entertainment spaces.

    In fact State Minister for Gender and Culture Hon. Peace Mutuzo had threatened to intervene to ensure that Ogudo goes back to school.

    In one of the trending videos, Ogudo was asked by a news reporter why he wasn’t in school and he asked the reporter whether she would meet his school fees.

    At least the question  of school fees has been solved as the Ruparelia Foundation has offered the scholarship.

    Ogudo’s situation came to the attention of the Ruparelias after child rapper Felista Di Superstar, a beneficiary of the Ruparelia Foundation scholarships alongside another child rapper Fresh Kid appealed to the foundation to help and fund Champion Ogudo’s education.

    “The bursary I was given helped me complete my primary level and I immediately acquired another bursary at Kisaasi College School from S1 to S6. Have you seen the power of talent! So in that direction, I kindly call upon my former sponsors that is Mr Rajiv and the Ruparelia Foundation to also lend a helping hand to this other talented young soul Champion Ogudo Ug such that he can access such a wonderful and quality education at Kampala Parents’ school. I know you have a kind heart that you can look into my humble request sir,” Felista posted on her socials.

    While appearing on Baba TV, Prof. Lawrence Muganga, the Vice Chancellor of Victoria University one of the Ruparelia Group’s education ventures revealed that the Ruparelia Group has granted Champion Ogudo a scholarship.

    My directors have come across this post and I would like to say that Dr. Sudhir Ruparelia, through the Ruparelia Foundation has granted a scholarship to Champion Ogudo at Kampala Parents’ School for his entire Primary education. Felista should reach out to him,” Muganga said.

  • Kampala Parents School parents protest 1.85m online fees set by the school

    Kampala Parents School parents protest 1.85m online fees set by the school

    Parents of Kampala Parents School have strongly protested the proposed charge of 1.85m for online classes.
    In a letter addressed to the school’s director, Chairman, Principal and Board of Directors, the parents have voiced their concerns and called for consideration on facilitation fees to continue accessing online teaching as of July 2020.

    The disgruntled Parents said it’s unfair for the school to charge yet other similar schools are offering same service at no cost.
    They copied the letter to the Minister of Education and top officials in the ministry,
    The parents also said the term one school fees was fully utilized because the schools were closed midway through the term. Below is the full letter by parents;
    To The Director, Kampala Parents School
    The Chairman, Kampala Parents School
    The Principal, Kampala Parents School Board of Directors, Kampala Parents School.
    18th June 2020
    Dear Sir,
    RE: PARENTS’ CONCERNS AND CALL TO CONSIDERATION– KPS DEMAND FOR FACILITATION FEES TO CONTINUE ACCESSING ONLINE TEACHING AS OF JULY 2020
    On behalf of the many disgruntled parents of Kampala Parents School, we write in response to a circular/invoice-dated 17th June from the financial controller which has been handed over to parents today and is making “waves” on social media in which Kampala Parents School is demanding for a FACILITATION FEES equivalent to 100% school fees to enable pupils to continue with the online learning from July 2020 onwards. For perspective, the school is demanding for a range of 1,750,000shs (Lower primary) to 1,950,000shs (Primary 7) per child to facilitate online classes without fully exhausting similar fees that had been paid up 100% of the 1st term.
    As we are all aware, the COVID 19 PANDEMIC (global) has for the past 4-5 months brought the world to a standstill. Ugandan Schools including Kampala Parents School complied to the call by the President of Uganda to close on March 20th, 2020 as a means of mitigating risks of contracting COVID by our learners while in school. This led to our children forfeiting 2 months of classroom education despite having paid 100% school fees at the start of that term!
    While other schools of the same caliber e.g.- Greenhill Academy quickly organized online Classes for all their learners over 6 weeks, provided support and notes/revision during the COVID lockdown at no extra charge, Kampala Parents School made very limited effort to engage with their overall learners or parents/guardians. A few televised lessons were undertaken targeting mostly Primary 7 pupils (which now appear to have been more of an advertisement for the school) leaving the rest of the lower classes out. No extra workbooks or revision notes were provided by the school (beyond the one provided at close of school on 20th March).
    We were very frustrated as parents to learn that we had to pay extra fees to access the Kampala Parents School ZOOM online classes which were to commence on 25th May 2019. It was only after parents made a lot of noise that the school allowed all learners to access these classes. Bearing in mind that our learners had only studied full time for only a month (in financial terms averaging out at 1,850,000shs per child multiplied by the over 2000 KPS Pupils, at worst case scenario with 70% fees payment- generated at least 2.5 billion Uganda shillings in Term 1, 2020.
    Since our children spent only a month out of the mandatory 3 months term 1 period prior to lockdown – only a little fraction of the Term 1 fees was used.
    It is appalling to learn that the school has not bothered to call a parent’s engagement meeting to alert parents on the new FACILITATION FEES requirement for continuing with online classes.
    Our main concerns;
    – We are cognizant that this is a private institution, but IT IS STILL REGULATED by the Uganda Ministry of Education and Sports which HAS NOT pronounced itself officially on the opening of Second term, 2020 and the acceptable fees structures for distance/online schooling.
    – We strongly believe that Kampala Parents School made a significant saving off 1st Term school fees which should be sufficient to pay their teaching & support staff salaries while facilitating free access to Zoom classes for paid up learners until the MOES officially declares the 2nd Term!
    – We would like to inform you that many long/short term customers of this school (parents and guardians) have lost income/business during the just concluded COVID lockdown. Where do you expect them to get the 100% FACILITATION fees by July 2020?
    – We as parents and guardians of Kampala Parents Learners, have already exhausted our savings to procure Computers/Laptops, suitable working environments-desks/chairs, Internet to enable the ongoing Zoom lessons, let alone bearing the costs of Food, Stationary, Utilities (water and Electricity), Extracurricular, Medical- all of which are usually catered for in school fees ! We cannot bear this ongoing cost and still an extra FACILITATION FEE for online studying.
    – Whereas the directors feel entitled and empowered to demand and threaten parents as they wish, we would like to remind them that this ONCE MIGHTY school existence depends on the good will of its short- and long-term customers/stakeholders who are us- parents and guardians of Kampala Parents School. You have not made any effort whatsoever to reach out to the parents’ community to engage them on this issue.
    – The Parents Advisory Board has provided guidance advocating for the parents but instead, you have threatened and continue to order parents through circular and invoices.
    With the above said, we would like to call the school directors and management to reconsider their harsh stance;
    1- Await for the official pronouncement of 2nd term opening by the Ministry of Education and Sports before asking for any further school fees.
    2- The online learning should continue for all learners who fully paid Term 1 fees with no extra FACILITATION FEES demanded.
    3- That the School Directors and Management uphold values of Honesty, Empathy, Integrity and Transparency (open and non-discriminatory communication) whilst dealing with the parent’s fraternity and desist from threatening us but seek to engage with parents body ( Parents Advisory Board & LARGER PARENTS FORUM) on a ZOOM call or in a meeting at school to reach an agreeable position.
    As parents, we hope that Kampala Parents School which is mandated to comply with the rules and regulations of the MOEs can give our concerns due consideration in-order to reach an agreeable position. Otherwise, we are being forced to escalate this matter beyond KPS.
    Sincerely,
    P7 Parents,
    On behalf of ALL Kampala Parents School Parents 18th June 2020
    C.C The Minister of Education and Sports
    C.C The Minister of State, Primary Education, Ministry of Education and Sports C.C The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education and Sports
    C.C The Commissioner Basic Education, Ministry of Education and Sports
    C.C The Director Basic Education, Ministry of Education and Sports.

    Rage as Kampala Parents School charges 1.85m for online lessons equivalent to termly school fees

    Some parents of Kampala Parents School are planing to quit the school for what they termed as unfair charges.

    Some parents who talked to this website revealed to us that it is unfair for them to be charged 1.850.000 for online lessons.

    Although the schools are closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the amount equals to the school’s fees for second term.

    “This is so unfair, i am planning to shift my kids to another school because i can’t stand this unfairness,” an angry parent said.

    Parents wondered why they are charged such amount yet the kids are not using any school facility.

    The school’s management has not commented on the matter.

  • Godfrey Kuteesa foundation to enrich primary leavers with developmental skills

    Godfrey Kuteesa foundation to enrich primary leavers with developmental skills

    According to recent statistics, youth in Uganda mostly The Central Region has the highest rate of unemployment due to lack of skills in what they study in schools. Most of our schools provide a lot of theoretical classes leading to kid’s failure in selecting their right path to what can be vital to their development after school. A senior six (6) leaver can’t handle a skills job at a local factory or inventory store to raise a little portion for their tuition come the next University intake which can be very helpful for them to lend a hand to their parents when it comes to financing some simple requirements like notes and transport costs through campus.

    The Youth deeply affected by rampant unemployment and low access to jobs due to lack of hands-on skills drives me to ask you parents with young school leavers, “What is your P7 son doing in this vacation that adds value to his nurturing and development?”
    Children are particularly vulnerable in these contexts with very little opportunities to come together to express their thoughts and feelings and learn from one another. Well this holiday “The Boys Mentorship Program is under the “Godfrey Kutesa Foundation” In Partnership with Kampala Capital City Authority – KCCA – LANDSCAPING DEPARTMENT have something we as parents should look at investing our time in if we are to fight the low levels of unemployment for the new generations to come for this starts with us;

    The second phase (WEEK TWO), Job Placement Week.
    The Boys will be placed in different organizations to learn basic of work. Such organizations include but not limited to; Supermarkets, Bookshops, Cafeterias, Coffee Shops, Banking Halls, Radio Stations. By placing our boys to work in such influential places a few days, (Mon-Sat), our boys will be able to learn one of the most important but a rare skill in life, The People Relations skill.

  • Interview: Kasole confirms selling Kampala Parents School to Sudhir willingly

    Interview: Kasole confirms selling Kampala Parents School to Sudhir willingly

    ‘Sudhir paid my money fully’ – Kasole

    Former Kampala Parents School owner, Edward Bwereere Kasole has spoken out on the latest rumour surrounding his former school’s ownership.

    Kasole said he sold the school willingly. He said he went out looking for a buyer and he got Sudhir who he said paid him fully and went out of the school. His interview has settled the ongoing rumours about the school’s ownership.

    Kasole

    He revealed that he has no issues with Sudhir saying the school is fully owned by the tycoon.

    “Sudhir is my great friend, we sorted ourselves out”, Kasole said.

    Sudhir

    Below is his interview;

    “I went out as a willing seller and I found a willing buyer. We sat and negotiated and we agreed and the man paid me fully and I walked away.

    I think they are based on two, three factors.

    One, parents in Kampala loved Kasole very much.

    They could not believe that I was to leave.

    My relationship with Mr Sudhir is excellent.

    I love him very much. I like him. He is a good man. He paid me my money fully.

    You see,I don’t have any issue at all.

    Because I went out looking for a willing buyer and he bought the school.

    And that’s why, for your information, may be you didn’t know, after I had sold the school, Mr Sudhir requested me to stay behind as an advisor. On request. And I stayed for a year. And he wanted to renew my contract and I said, ‘no’. I have trained you.’

    He said stay behind and you train me. And for the whole year after selling the school, when holding parents’ meetings, I used to be the chairman.

    Mr Sudhir used to sit in a certain corner. And I was only introducing him as the next owner of the school for a whole year.

    And I said, bye, bye. He had wanted to give me a contract and I said, ‘no, no, I am going.’

    I did not even have an account in Crane Bank. I didn’t have. Not even a savings account in Crane Bank. Never

    I had not even met him before. It’s only the late Mr Kassaga Zzimwe, because he was apparent in my school, I am the one who inspired, I am selling the school.

    Then we all went out to look for buyers.

    Then we came with Mr Sudhir. We sat and agreed and he paid me cash and I walked away.

    They have good reasons because there is a difference between Sudhir and Kasole. For example, I used to arrive at my school, KPS, at 6:30am, January to December for 23 consecutive years. Does he go there?

    Parents were used to use their looks for someone they know.

    I was shaking the hands of every child; looking at every child’s handkerchief, shoes and greeting parents who brought the children.

    Those differences are still ringing in parents’ heads,” Kasole said.
