| Summary: | The study focused on the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on school dropout in selected primary schools in the Nyarusiza sub-county Kisoro district. The study followed research objectives, which were to determine the effects of COVID-19 on school enrollment in primary Schools Kisoro district, to explore the challenges facing pupils at PLE due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and to suggest a possible solution to the challenges facing the pupils at PLE due to COVID19 pandemic. The research was conducted using a descriptive research design and included both qualitative and quantitative data. A sample size of 30 respondents was drawn from schools in the Nyarusiza sub-county Kisoro district. The findings of the study revealed that male respondents were highly represented in the study by 56.7%; married respondents were also highly represented by 64%; and 33.3% showed that Reduced pupil ration in Countries which forced to adopt quarantine measures was the major effect of Covid-19 on school enrollment., The recommendations of the study included the following: The government should increase spending for immediate
health-related expenditures such as supplies including masks, gloves, and other personally productive
equipment, in addition to ICU beds (as Uganda currently has only 55 functional ICU beds, resulting in approximately 1.3 ICU beds per million Ugandans) and ventilators. Also, the government should ensure that some of this health sector budget reallocation is also earmarked to support non-coronavirus health concerns, from basic to emergency healthcare. Large-scale testing is necessary to address the pandemic and treat the sick. Without this, the economic and social impact is likely to be prolonged and compound the problem. Innovative approaches could be used such as applications of artificial intelligence in high-risk/high-traffic sites to enhance COVID-19 detection efficiency while protecting medical staff and the general public from cross-infections The government should establish a physical and automated platform for coordination and resource mobilization for support to the poor pupils and the most vulnerable groups affected by COVID-19-related lockdown. |
