Namyalo Challenges Namagabi Old Students To Protect School Legacy

What the report says

Presidential mobiliser Aisha Namyalo has called on alumni of Namagabi Secondary School in Kayunga District to play a more active role in protecting the school’s reputation and academic standards. According to Nile Post, she said preserving the institution’s legacy requires cooperation among the administration, teachers, parents, current learners and former students.

Namyalo made the appeal while presiding over co-curricular activities at the school, including the Late Katongole Cup, a contest involving students from the Kabaleega, Muteesa, Africa and Mbogo houses. She encouraged students to be disciplined, determined and prepared for challenges, saying education should shape responsible citizens who can contribute to their communities and the country.

She also urged students to take their studies seriously and reminded alumni to stay connected to the school and support its ongoing development. Her remarks linked academic performance with discipline and continuity, framing alumni involvement as part of safeguarding the school’s standing for future generations.

Headteacher Yusuf Kasirye said the competitions are meant to identify and nurture student talent through sports and other co-curricular activities. He said such programmes complement classroom learning by building confidence, teamwork and leadership skills, and can help students develop abilities that may later become useful beyond school. More broadly, the report reflects the growing emphasis in Ugandan schools on combining academics with talent development, though the specific focus here was Namagabi Secondary School’s efforts and alumni support.
