Lugari Member of Parliament and Education Committee member Nabii Nabwera has urged parents to take greater responsibility in understanding and supporting their children.
His remarks follow recent allegations of grooming and harassment at Alliance Girls High School.
Last week, an exposé by Africa Uncensored detailed disturbing claims against a teacher accused of intimidating and sexually grooming students for over two decades.
According to Nabwera, while the government plays a regulatory role in education, it cannot replace the critical role of a parent in their child's emotional and social well-being. "What has happened in this country is that in ensuring we have a seamless education for our children, and I say this with a lot of humility, parents have abdicated their duty," said Nabwera. "The parental and community culture does not allow children to talk about sex or speak up about molestation," he added.
