President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni pledged to make education in government schools completely free and expand wealth creation initiatives aimed at transforming households into active players in Uganda’s money economy. 

While addressing a mammoth crowd during a presidential campaign rally at Celecelea Stadium in Moyo District on October 17, 2025, President Museveni said that the next phase of the NRM government would focus on ensuring that no child was denied education because of school fees and that every family will be participating in income-generating activities.
