School closed down with out letting students finish their first term.

In Mbarara police tried to asked students to leave the property of their school because they were shutting it down. The school was getting evicted, the owners of the land said the school owes her Shs60 million. The students are very angry because a lot of them don't have money to get back home and want police to have administrators refund their money, therefore they can get back to their families. They are saying that the school is not licensed to be on the property therefore it must be closed down. Their were 450 students attending Booma High School and they wanted it to close the doors after the first term, but that wasn't happening. Now the students are left with many question on what is going to happen to them and the money they paid for this schooling.

I was shocked after reading this article, and to find out these children are only in high school trying to get an education and the police officers are forced to shut it down.  These poor children are wanting an education and a lot of them are very disappointed. Also to top it off these children came to this school thinking they would get an education and now they can't get a education and can't get transported home because they spent their money on this school. I am hoping that they will get some kind of justice and receive at least their money back. You would think that these schools would be regulated in some way that this kind of thing wouldn't happen. It makes me question where they got their teachers and if they are disappointed in loosing their jobs or what is happening to them? Maybe this whole thing is a misunderstanding, but in the article it said that the administrators failed to show papers to have it legalized.
