BCET students boycott classes

The students ran out of patience after the school management kept giving the Student Representative Committee (SRC) empty promises.  The BCET minister of accommodation and refectory, Daniel Nsiiwa, said that in 2014 their hostels were closed due to renovations. He said last year, the college management informed them that the renovations were almost complete and were only awaiting installation of fire alert alarms.

“We were told the renovations were complete, but the alarms were not working.  We were promised that by September 2018 the installations would be complete.  We confronted the management, but we were told that the alarms would be installed in July this year. We waited for the hostels to be completed in vain as this year, upon admission; the first year students’ letters indicated that accommodation would be provided.  The letter, however, stated that accommodation would be limited,” he said.
