Give the Shs 10 billion to teachers instead
Government wants to spend over Shs 10 billion next financial year on spreading patriotism in secondary schools.
All this as secondary school teachers earn about Shs 380,000 per month! Indeed the teachers have complained about miserable pay for long and government's rehearsed response has always been; "we have no money." Yet when it comes to politics, it can comfortably find Shs 10 billion to teach patriotism!
If this Shs 10 billion was added to the teachers' salaries, it would make a big difference in their welfare and boost their morale. How are teachers expected to teach patriotism on empty stomachs?
