NGOs rapped on condoms

New Vision (Kampala) December 6, 2005
Robert Kalemba


THE commissioner for primary teacher education, Margaret Ochen, has asked teachers to prohibit NGOs which distribute condoms to pupils without permission from the education ministry.

"I would like you teachers to prohibit any NGO which wants to distribute condoms to pupils in your various schools against entering your premises unless it has first sought permission from the Ministry of Education and Sports," Ochen said.

She was on Friday opening a Presidential Initiative on AIDS Strategy for Communication to the Youth (PIASCY) Phase 11 ordinary workshop which was aimed at spreading awareness and prevention of HIV/AIDS among the youth.
