Uganda bans artistes from performing in schools due to 'erotic' dances

Going forward, the Ministry will provide guidelines on the nature and conduct of co-curricular and entertainment activities allowed in schools.

School heads were also warned against allowing artistes to perform in schools, failure to which disciplinary measures will be taken against them.

"Everybody must always remember that the Ministry of Education and Sports is the custodian of the values and behaviour of the children of Uganda while at school, whether those schools are Government or Private.

"Clear guidelines will soon be issued by the Ministry of Education and sports," read the circular.

It is common for artistes to perform in schools, especially during rallies and other functions. The artistes are often invited by the various leaders of school clubs via their matrons/patrons to create an electric atmosphere during such events.
