President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni expressed strong concern over what he described as a persistent and “illogical” imbalance in the distribution of government primary and secondary schools across several districts in Busoga Sub-Region, calling on local leaders to correct what he said was undermining equitable access to education.

Speaking while campaigning in Kaliro District on Tuesday November 18, 2025, President Museveni, who is also the NRM presidential flag bearer, said he was disturbed by reports showing that despite the existence of a clear national policy, some parishes have multiple government schools while others have none. He said the trend reflects either negligence or deliberate failure by district leaders to align school construction to population and administrative units.
