Schools and education institutions have been urged to work closely with the communities they serve.
The call comes after complaints that most schools shun communities surrounding them, preferring to work in isolation.
This was reached at during a community - head teachers meeting at Mbogo High School in Kawempe Urban Council called to look at ways schools can work better with the communities surrounding them to improve the quality of education imparted to students.
Parents and surrounding communities are by law mandated to have a stake in the schools operating in their areas but this relationship has fizzled out in the recent past.
Many schools, especially those privately owned lock out communities, fearing scrutiny of their activities.
Communities also tend to shun these schools.
But educationists meeting at Kawempe have said schools must increase cooperation with their neighbors, to safeguard the lives of the students they teach who most times interact with the same communities.
Hajjat Ndifuna Matovu, the Head Teacher Mbogo High School in Kawempe said schools may improve their relationship by jointly undertaking in communal cleaning exercises.
Schools were also called upon to conduct business with the surrounding communities to build bonds that spur regional economic development.
