Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

'''Kiira College Butiki (KCB)''' commonly referred to as Butiki, is an all-boys boarding public secondary school (high school) located in [[Jinja, Uganda|Jinja]] district, in the [[Eastern Region, Uganda|Eastern region]] of [[Uganda]]. The school is located on Butiki hill, in Namulesa trading center, along the Jinja-Kamuli Highway. It is approximately 14 kilometers (approx. 8.7 miles) from Jinja town. The school was named after [[Nile|River Nile]] (which is known as ''Kiira'' among the locals i.e. the Basoga people). The Nile River derives its source from [[Lake Victoria]] in [[Jinja, Uganda]]. The school motto is ''Discipline & Hardwork''. The school was founded in 1959.  As a public secondary school that is run by both. Unlike in developed countries like the US, the funds used to run public schools are from both the Government (through the Ministry of Education) and from private tuition agreed upon by school PTA committees of the respective school; a public-private interaction funding. Teacher salaries are mainly paid by the Ugandan Government. However, teachers also receive allowances from the tuition paid by the students.

Note that unlike in countries like the [[United Kingdom]] or the US, Boarding schools in [[Uganda]] do not identify students as being from a high social class. For the matter of fact, boarding schools are a convenient way of ensuring that students, mainly those from rural places (60% of attendees) do attend school without transportation inconveniences.

== History ==

The school was founded by the Busoga local administration (known as the "lukiiko" in Lusoga) in 1959 to improve education among the Basoga boys. The only school in Busoga region that was for Boys was [[Busoga College|Busoga College Mwiri]]. However, while initially Mwiri was intended to offer education to only sons of members of the Busoga royal family including chiefs and other prominent Busoga political figures with a few locals, this vision was thrown into tatters when Mwiri (presumably from political pressures) embarked on recruiting students from other areas in [[Uganda]]. Competition for enrollment became so stiff in that, the enrollment of the Basoga boys was dismal. This led to the Busoga Local lukiiko to establish another boys-only school to serve the Basoga boys, hence Kiira College Butiki. However, the same enrollment ghosts from [[Busoga College|Busoga College Mwiri]] haunted Butiki and the latter also embarked on a national recruitment for boys from other areas of [[Uganda]]. There is a long known historical academic "rivalry" between students from [[Busoga College|Mwiri]] and Butiki.

Butiki falls in the category of Public schools in [[Uganda]]. Public schools are mainly Government aided institutions through the Ministry of Education. Until recently, (in the mid 1990s), Public schools were considered to be more powerful in academic terms compared to private schools. However, with the introduction of a privatized economy by the NRM government in the 1990s, many private schools embarked on a policy of recruiting academic staff from public schools, and some private schools have recently started outperforming the historical public schools (based on the pass rate in National exams such as UCE and UACE).

However, there's still a historical academic pride that exists among many graduates of the historical (established before the late 1960s) public schools and entry into these public schools is still a competitive enterprise for students.

== International partnerships ==
Kiira College Butiki shares a partnership link with [[Hampton School]] in Hampton, London in England.Where by having a hall at the school named Hampton.

== Student body ==

=== Enrollment ===
Enrollment is only for male students. The age range is between 13 and 18. However, it is not uncommon to find students aged 20 and above but rarely above 25. Age is not a factor the school considers in student enrollment. Total school enrollment is between 1000-1200 students.

=== Citizenship ===
Most students enrolled are [[Ugandans]] (99%), however, it is not uncommon to find foreign students from neighbouring countries like [[Kenya]], [[Tanzania]], [[Rwanda]] or [[South Sudan]] enrolled in the school. The practice of enrolling foreign students is common among [[Ugandans]] schools, especially Private schools. It is believed by some residents of other [[East African Community]] partner countries that the education system in [[Uganda]] is superior.

=== Accommodation ===
Accommodation is provided on-campus for all students. There are 6 dormitories on campus (aka "houses") to accommodate the whole student population. All beds are bunker beds (each bunker bed having 3levels). Students do come with their own beddings and mattresses. The houses include Nile house, Aggrey house, Mulondo house, Kyabazinga house, Cohen house, Henry Muloki house aka HM and the newly opened Nadiope house.
