Kisubi Mapeera Senior Secondary School in Entebbe used its 27th anniversary celebrations to encourage candidates preparing for the Uganda Certificate of Education and Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education exams to balance study with prayer and discipline. The event drew students, parents, teachers, religious leaders and government officials, and included a Mass and performances by the school choirs.

According to Nile Post, the main speaker was the Chancellor of Kampala Archdiocese, Rev. Fr.
