Several parents in Kampala and other parts of the country are heaping praises on Kampala Parents School (KPS) for unveiling very affordable Online Study rates, which have enabled their children attain education despite the Coronavirus (COVID-19) lock down.
KPS, which is owned under the Ruparelia Group of Companies, announced in May that they were rolling out online study programs for pupils from Primary One to P.7, in a bid to help them continue with their studies until government reopens the schools which were closed in March as a result of the COVID-19 lockdown.
KPS studies kicked off in phases, whereby the Management of the School led by Daphine Kato, the School Principal, started with P.5, P.6 and P.7 pupils, before the second phase which included P.1 to P.3 pupils was rolled out.
After realizing the fruits of the Online study programs, parents have started appreciating KPS for coming up with such a brilliant idea of enabling their children study during the COVID-19 lockdown.
One of the parents, only identified as Bryt City Baba, expressed his gratitude to the management of Kampala Parents School by writing thus on Sunday;
“I Have Been Stressed By My Children Not Going To School Despite The Fact That They Get One Zoom Class Every Week.
I Just Found Out That You Can Join Kampala Parents’ School Zoom Classes For Only 340k Per Month Per Child.
If You Do The Maths, It’s More Affordable And Flexible Than Taking Your Child To School. Let Us Do The Maths Together. 3 Months In One Term On Average You Spend 1.7M In Kampala. This Includes; School Fees, Transport, Uniform.
For 3 Months Doing Zoom Classes Will Cost You On Average 1.3M. This Includes Zoom Class Fees And Data For 3 Months.
There Are Telekom Companies Offering 50GB At 45k A Month.
Kampala Fiber Is Offering Unlimited Data 10 BPM At 100k Per Month.
ROKE 40GB At 100k Per Month Free Night And All Weekends Data.
I Strongly Think Government Should Consider Children Studying From Home Only For Those Who Can Afford It.”
