According to Moses Mandela, the head of School Management Committee chairpersons in the subcounty, some schools have lost more than half of their learners. At Odong Primary School, for example, enrolment has dropped from about 1,500 pupils at the beginning of the term to around 500.
The operation, which started today, has already resulted in the arrest of two parents and 11 children. They were fined and cautioned to ensure the children return to school.
School leaders say the exercise aims to improve school attendance and ensure that every child of school going age is in class.
