A 35-year-old woman is among the 148 pupils at St Peters and Paul Day and Boarding Primary School who has just finished doing her Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE).<\/p>\n

Ms Moreen Kyobutungi, who is a mother of three joined St Peters in primary six last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cI came to study because over time I had a dream of coming back to school. But because of many responsibilities at home I could not realise the dream. I told my children about my decision [of going back to school] and they told me not to go back because I\u2019m old,\u201d Kyobutungi said.<\/p>\n

Kyobutungi\u2019s first born is currently sitting for senior four exams, her second born is in senior two and the last born is in primary three.<\/p>\n

She says she had stopped in primary five after the death of her parents and later got married and had three children.<\/p>\n

After getting married, she joined a group of women under the Kabarole health women initiative that encourages people to test for HIV and she was elected as executive director.<\/p>\n

She said the appointment motivated her to go back to school.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou cannot lead people when you are not educated.\u00a0 My fellow women encouraged me to go back to school and I hope I will continue until I become nurse or lawyer,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI approached the school and they [teachers] allowed me to start in primary six. I was performing well and I hope I will get first grade,\u201d Kyobutungi said.<\/p>\n

Kyobutungi\u2019s teacher Mr Moses Musigunzi said she has been a good student who likes to associate with pupils and is passionate about reading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
