LDC STUDENTS PETITION

I support the commencement of online teaching. Our education matters

It is incumbent on our National leaders to first research about something before tabling it on the follow of parliament, thus it is on that note that Hon Okupa did not take time to get views of the LDC student leaders as regards to online studies. I therefore disregard the submission of Hon Okupa that LDC as an institution is collecting 20,000shs for the online studies, no it's a mere sham and the public should treat it with the highest contempt. Being a postgraduate institution, students have the abilities of financing their online studies, and also the students have adhered to government guidelines of social distancing by staying at their respective homes. I therefore urge the Parliament of Uganda through the Right. Hon. Speaker to give leverage to LDC students to finish their course basing on the fact that they are finalists. ©Wanda Benard LDC student

Online study is the best during coviid19 pandemic season, Parliament Please,

Mps should applause Ldc management and assist it to effectively have the online system reach out to those students that can't access it.

Let LDC continue with its initiative. I takes a practical mind to find a solution. We urge other institution to borrow a leaf from LDC.

These mps should stop sticking their noses where they don't belong,aren't they supposed to be misusing the covid money...leave LDC alone coz we are fine with the online classes

We want back our online program

It is high time we embrace the new normal or we shall keep backward for ever and perhaps the courts of Uganda have embraced the same through efiling and holding court sessions on zoom. So why not for the upcoming advocates

I am in support of online studies

This is strictly my opinion. Online teaching is honestly a good initiative for education at LDC to continue. However, believe it or not this was bound to happen. I will start by saying that the email that was sent by the Director did not state that online learning had come to an end. It simply stated that it has been temporarily put on hold to give the Ministry of Education and Sports an opportunity to come up with guidelines that will facilitate a better learning experience for the students. This will only go on for one week if I read the email correctly. There is therefore no need for all the noise that I see that seems to suggest that online teaching has been stopped permanently. Secondly, when online teaching was starting, there were a few minority views of some of the students that were of the view that online teaching should be properly structured so as to enable every student attend. Some of the challenges included data, network and failure to access gadgets to facilitate online learning. These challenges were raised and because they were raised by a few, they were not really considered. LDC continued saying that they were talking to service providers and meanwhile attendance is compulsory. Students, whether 2 or 10 cannot raise pertinent points like these and be ignored and simply be told that their failure to attend will lead them to be pushed to the next academic year. In my opinion, that is arrogance. Every student's voice matters even if it is 1. Cavendish university made it a point to make sure that EVERY STUDENT and I mean EVERY STUDENT was able to attend class. Those who didn't have gadgets were given gadgets. The data issue was dealt with. They tried to make sure that everyone had an opportunity to attend online classes. I think LDC should pick a leaf. You can't be too sure that everyone can attend because students have various challenges. I believe this is an opportunity for LDC to revise the system and make sure that EVERY STUDENT can actually att

I support this petition because it has been enabling me to study while keeping social distance and not delaying the institution's program

Let's embrace the new normal of handling things especially in all aspects of life..for now it's education

I'm in support of online learning

We must comply to covid demands... We must not let covid slow us down when we have a way out... Parliament should desist from interfering in well intentioned projects just for the sake of politics

The New Normal must stand

Let’s us study online

LDC Online Classes must go on. We LDC students are not complaining,we have no issues with it.

We need to finish school...there has been a lot of laxity in opening schools. Regardless we have tried to accept the new normal that is even helping in avoiding covid 19 spread. Please allow us to continue with online study...we need this to happen now.

In these unprecedented times, we must embrace change positively to progress. We can't simply fold our hands and watch our dreams and hope subside. Online learning is widely practiced for situations that prevent people from physically assembling in class, such as covid 19, among others.. i support it!

When man learnt how to aim without missing,the eagle learnt how to fly without patching. Online studies should continue since they offer the best solution to study while social distancing. We need to adapt!!
