King’s College Budo has cautioned parents against fraudsters posing as school officials to solicit money promising their children entry into the school.
Shortly after releasing the admission list of successful entrants, the Head Teacher, John Fred Kazibwe, said conmen are already calling and texting parents of the P.7 leavers asking for money for the placements, which he says is a total fraud move and parents should be aware.
“It has come to the knowledge of the administration that some unscrupulous people are calling and texting different parents of primary leavers, luring them to send money to them in the name of securing placements for their children at the school,” Kazibwe said.
According to the head teacher, placements at King’s College Budo are not for sale, and anyone doing so should be ignored or reported to the school authorities.
“We wish to inform the general public that placements at the school are not for sale. Any message or phone call from anyone asking for money on behalf of the school administration should be ignored and treated with the contempt it deserves,” Mr. Kazibwe said.
He added “For any admission into the school, Kazibwe says the only official admission processes are followed,” he added, assuring that the school has already handed over the matter to the police and they are investigating.
“We hope that sooner than later, these extortionists will be arrested and face the long arm of the law,” he said.
Admissions for S.1 students at Kings College Budo are closed, and those who were admitted on merit can collect their admission documents starting on Wednesday, February 7, 2024, upon submission of a copy of the payment slip for school fees.
Parents and guardians are also advised to carry the original PLE results slip and the identity card of the child’s former school.
