Mr. Juma says those final year students have staged a sit-in in front of the office of the ministry of education asking for their diplomas. \u201cThis has created a climate of mistrust between the ministry and students\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The education ministry spokesman also says the legal representative of that school has changed the school name without informing the ministry of education. \u201cHe changed the school name without following the legal procedures. The former Buterere Technical School has become Christa Technical School and the latter is not recognized by the ministry of education\u201d. He calls on parents to be careful and not let their children register at that school which is not legally recognized. \u201cParents have to be careful lest their children be the victims. They won\u2019t receive any document to certify their education because the school is not officially known by the ministry\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iwacu.global.ssl.fastly.net\/englishnews\/headmaster-disguised-as-student-during-state-exam-sentenced-to-5-years\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">In August, the headmaster of Buterere technical school disguised himself as student and sat for the national exam for another registered student.<\/a> After that, the ministry of education tried to get in touch with the legal representative of this school in vain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The legal representative of Buterere Technical School was arrested this December 25, 2018.
