According to Bitamazire, much as the ministry had made tremendous achievements in the tenure she has been in this office, there is a lot that needs to be done in the area of inspection especially on private schools to ensure quality education.

Handing over the office to new minister Jessica Alupo, Bitamazire noted that late coming, absenteeism and drop outs are still big challenges to the sector and therefore urged the new minister and her team to ensure that such problems are solved to achieve quality education.

Meanwhile, Alupo said that her emphasis is going to be on ensuring that each sub-county gets a government secondary school while each county gets a government vocational training institute.
