What the report says

Buganda Kingdom and Ugandan government officials have praised educationist Benon Ntambi as Royal Giant High School in Mityana marked 25 years of operation. The silver jubilee ceremony was held at the school’s premises in Mityana District and focused on the institution’s role in widening access to learning, creating jobs and supporting community development.

According to Nile Post, speakers at the event included the Second Deputy Prime Minister of Buganda Kingdom and Minister of Finance, Robert Wagwa Nsibirwa, and the Ssingo County Chief, Deo Kagimu. Both commended Ntambi for investing in education and said the school has helped expand opportunities for young people. Nsibirwa described private education investment as a way to complement government efforts, while Kagimu urged the school to maintain and improve academic standards.

The celebration also drew Ministry of Education representation, with Commissioner for Higher Education Juliet Muzoora Atuhaire attending on behalf of State Minister for Higher Education J.C. Muyingo. She praised the school for supporting education and employment and encouraged continued quality standards and learner development. Minister Kabuye Kyofatogabye used the occasion to call on parents to foster stable home environments, warning that family conflict can affect children’s upbringing.

Ntambi thanked supporters and said the school had reached the milestone despite challenges. More broadly, the event underscored the role of private schools in extending education access in Uganda, especially in districts where community-based institutions help absorb demand for places in the sector.
