“I feel sorry for the family, but I urge them to remain calm pending the investigations. The good thing is that the guardian was informed in good time before her demise. Let us patiently wait for the post-mortem results and then focus on the way forward. Amen.”
Mollyson Mage:
“Before a child is admitted to a school, parents are required to submit a medical report from a recognised doctor. Nowadays, some parents tend to overlook this and simply seek a rubber stamp without the child undergoing the necessary tests. Some also fail to disclose chronic illnesses affecting their children.”
Alex Miheso Ageyo:
“The government should consider making all schools day schools so that parents can help address many avoidable and preventable issues affecting learners.”
