Apac- More than 400 students involved in the
violent strike at Aduku Secondary School, Apac District, will pay a fine
for the damage they caused to the school property.
Two weeks ago, students destroyed school property
worth more than Shs100m as they protested a ban on wearing mini-skirts
and skin thight trousers.
In a board meeting on Tuesday, it was resolved that the students who were identified as ringleaders in the strike would pay Shs180,000 each as compensation for the destruction.
Other students who protested because they were influenced by their colleagues will each pay Shs150,000, while girls will pay Shs100,000 for pouring water on the school gate.

The board chairperson, Bishop Charles Odurkami, of
Lango Diocese confirmed the development, adding that 16 students had
been identified as ring leaders.
“We have also realised that a total of 394
students were forced by their colleagues to join the strike and because
of that, we have resolved to punish the culprits,” Bishop Odurkami told
Daily Monitor after the Tuesday meeting.
The deputy head teacher in- charge of academics,
Mr Patrick Gira, said: “We are not going to suspend any students but
ringleaders will be required to pay a huge amount of money for what they
did.”
