She urged all the students to concentrate in their studies and avoid getting into early marriage.
MP Robert Singira, who chairs the education committee in the State Legislative Assembly, encouraged the students to be smart both in mind and body.
State Director General in the Ministry of Education Gibson Francis Waru blamed the students for their poor performance at secondary school leaving exams.
