Dear Editor, this is a response to your story, Pregnant student stopped from filling in University forms, which appeared in NV 5th/12/08. Am concerned about this girl whose education is about to be ended, simply because of a mistake she committed. I feel that the headmaster of the school has a grudge on her. I don't see the reason as to why he has blocked her from filling the Joint Admissions Board's forms (JAB) if the ministry of education allowed her to sit for her papers.
We know that every person has a goal in life and if in pursuing our goals we slip, it does not mean that we should not get up and continue walking. If Fatuma Nansamba wants to join the university, it is her right and no one should take it from her.
The university is a place for mature people, some are married, others have children and no one questions that. So, if the headmaster allowed her to sit for the exams, he should let her apply for university since this is a right of every Ugandan and she has not committed any crime against the state by becoming pregnant.
I dont agree with u,let her act as an example to others
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you. I think what the headmaster did was one of the most primitive things to happen in the 21st century and i realy doubt if he qualifies to be a headmaster in the first place. By the way pregnancy is not a crime! She may have chosen it and no one should purnish for that!
