Ntare School in Mbarara City has suspended 540 Senior Three students following a hunger strike that escalated into violent clashes.
However, the school head teacher, Saul Rwampororo, confirmed the mass suspension, stating that tensions had been building due to “endless fights” between Senior Three and Senior Four students.
The unrest followed the expulsion of a student accused of cheating in examinations, an allegation the protesters strongly dispute. Additionally, they claim their classmate, Kiburura, was targeted for investigating alleged homosexuality at the school.

“We suspended the boy for exam malpractice,” Rwampororo said. “However, they continued to fight with S.4 students during their mock exams; we could not tolerate that.”
Students say the trouble began when Senior Three learners boycotted supper, demanding a full explanation for Kiburura’s dismissal.
Even after the initial tension eased, the school’s entertainment department worsened matters by showing the Super Cup final between Tottenham and Paris Saint-Germain.
Instead of uniting the students, S.4 learners allegedly blocked S.3 classmates from entering the hall, armed with sticks. The standoff ended when the protesting group began hurling stones at school buildings, smashing windows.
In conclusion, Rwampororo said all suspended students will be screened before returning, with ringleaders facing further punishment.
