George Cyprus, the Ag. Chairperson of the Mvara voice appreciated Arua City Journalist’s Association for the training noting that their aim of uniting the Mvara fraternity is likely to come true;
“We really appreciate how far we are progressing with the thing, how we are uniting old students of this school from different parts of the country. With the training I have got today, I have learnt about content creation, today they have opened to us that it’s not all about negativity but you have to embrace what you want to achieve.” Cyprus noted.
“You may post what they don’t like but as a journalist when you have posted something that you feel like it’s right, it is the right thing,” Cyprus explained.
Equally, Sharon Aitasi who contributes in the management of the Mvara voice said;
“We have been facing a lot trying to put the face of Mvara outside there. They taught us a lot, the videography- that’s what I enjoyed most, how to write scripts, career guidance and a lot of things.” Aitasi said.
Droku Ben Bella, the careers master of Mvara is optimistic that the news coverage at the school will change as a result of this training;
“I know our students have got how to do video covering, I saw photography, videography and there were so many questions around here on what to report. Make our news very interesting, ill ne the first to be there because I want to listen. Many times we come there late because you bore us, we here so many stories so make it interesting and I will ne the first to be there.” Droku expressed.
The head of the editorial committee of Arua City Journalist’s Association, Winnie Lenia equally expects the best out of the students in doing their media related work at the school;
“We expect after this activity that these students will be able to write better news, they will be able to handle these platforms professionally even be able to get money as resource for them.”

Media training in schools equips students with critical thinking, ethical communication, and digital safety skills necessary to navigate today’s information-dense landscape. It enables learners to recognize misinformation, understand media biases, and become responsible consumers and producers of digital content.
