Intervention of school administration

Madam Nakawungu Faridah says the administration has provided new garbage disposal systems which have prevented students from littering the surrounding environment. Properly labelled bins can be found at regular intervals around campus, with designated areas for different types of waste.  

Moreover, cleaning staff has increased the frequency of garbage collection, ensuring that any rubbish does not have the opportunity to accumulate in any areas. The washrooms have been fitted with new latrines and sanitary bins, with handwashing facilities to promote good hygiene.

Apart from these measures, students have played an active role in maintaining cleanliness on their peers to participate in initiatives such as litter picking, removal of cobwebs, and sweeping of lecture halls.
