The Arua district secondary schools’ ball games II have had a good progress at Eruba Primary School Grounds, with minimal challenges due to strict adherence to Ebola Standard Operating Procedures (SOP’s).
The games, which began last week on Friday, are being conducted with limited access only players, officials, teachers, and security personnel are allowed, effectively avoiding crowds.
This approach received praise from teachers and officials for maintaining safety while enabling the games to continue.

Jovan Kayiti, an executive member of the Arua district sports committee, commended the district taskforce, led by the RDC, for providing a neutral venue that facilitates crowd control during these times.
“We want to thank our RDC of Arua district, because he restricted us into Eruba Primary playground where we have a fence and only athletes are allowed in and the security personnels have been deployed all round to ensure that we do not mix up with people who are not participating,” he said.
Annet Nasike, a games teacher at Vurra SSS, expressed confidence that her school might clinch the sports trophy this year, having previously won it.
“I believe we are doing well, we have a position and generally Vurra secondary school has been performing well in the games competition of Arua District, we have trophies over trophies. So, history is going to repeat itself here in this field,” she said.
Favor Angualiru, a student from Logiri Girls Secondary School, thanked God for her successful participation and called for public support.
“It was not easy but we managed it. So, we are just thankful to God for that,” she expressed.
The competitions include football, athletics, volleyball, and netball, with ten schools competing.
Despite the challenges posed by the Ebola Virus Disease, the games serve as an important physical activity that promotes the well-being of students and teachers alike.
The strict observance of Ebola SOPs has limited public spectatorship, ensuring safety without halting the sporting events. The events demonstrate a successful balance between health precautions and the promotion of academic and physical development in Uganda’s education sector.
