    In a stirring call for compassion in education, the Bishop of the Central Busoga Diocese, the Rit. Rev. Fr. Patrick Wakula, has advised teachers to adopt a more understanding approach to teaching rather than resorting to corporal punishment as their primary means of discipline.

    Bishop Patrick Wakula made this impassioned plea during a recent event at St. John Buyemba C/O in Nawanyago Parish, Irongo S/C, located in Luuka district. The occasion marked the commissioning of 281 P.7 candidates preparing for their final exams in 2023, drawing parents and students from various schools, including Buyemba, Ikonia, Nakavuma, Buyola, Nawandyo, and Lambala primary schools.

    “It is not fair for a teacher to beat a child as a sign of disciplining him/her yet there are some children who need parental words to change their behaviors rather than beat them,” stressed Bishop Wakula.

    His words echo as a powerful reminder of the critical roles parents and teachers play in nurturing a supportive and caring educational environment.

    Additionally, the event featured a confirmation ceremony where 63 children received their blessings. Bishop Wakula used this occasion to encourage these young individuals to steer clear of distractions and focus on their spiritual growth.

    The Bishop’s message extends to the broader Ugandan community, calling for an appreciation of one’s own blessings rather than envying others. “Be proud of what you have rather than being proud of your neighbors,” advised Bishop Wakula.

    In a world where the grass often seems greener on the other side, Bishop Wakula’s words encourage individuals to recognize and be grateful for the unique gifts and blessings in their lives.

    The call for compassionate education aligns with the global trend towards progressive and child-centered teaching methods, emphasizing understanding, mentorship, and communication in fostering students’ growth. Bishop Wakula’s message underscores the significance of a shared responsibility among parents, teachers, and the community in creating a nurturing educational environment where students can flourish.

    Bishop Patrick Wakula’s message has reverberated across Luuka district, advocating for an educational transformation that nurtures students, fosters understanding, and encourages positive guidance.

    “It is not fair for a teacher to beat a child as a sign of disciplining him/her yet there are some children who need parental words to change their behaviors rather than beat them,” stressed Bishop Wakula.

    His message serves as a beacon, guiding the community toward a brighter, more compassionate future in education. It is a reminder that teaching goes beyond academics; it encompasses personal growth and overall well-being. “Be proud of what you have rather than being proud of your neighbors,” advised Bishop Wakula.

    The Bishop’s call for compassionate education stands as a testament to his commitment to providing students with the support, understanding, and guidance they need to flourish in an environment of care and compassion. His words will undoubtedly inspire a more compassionate approach to education across Luuka district and beyond.
