Light College Katikamu Swears In New Prefect Council, Emphasizing Life Skills Over Pomp

Uganda – In a departure from the increasingly grandiose trends seen in many schools, Light College Katikamu has once again focused on practical life administrative skills during their recent prefect body elections and swearing-in ceremony. Held on July 14th, the event highlighted the school’s commitment to nurturing future leaders grounded in responsibility and service.

The ceremony was a testament to the school’s philosophy that real-world skills are paramount. Unlike other institutions that have adopted extravagant practices such as pairing students as bridal spouses or even flying them in planes for promotional purposes, Light College Katikamu remains dedicated to instilling a sense of duty and leadership among its students.

The newly elected prefects, who went through a rigorous selection process, took their oaths with a sense of pride and responsibility. Among them was Brenda Juliana Nambatya, who was sworn in as the Library and Information prefect. Her commitment to promoting a culture of reading and information literacy was evident as she took her oath.
