Uganda's President Museveni on Wednesday firmly reiterated that there will be no pay rise for teachers of humanities, throwing into disarray a 2018 Collective Bargaining Agreement under which the government pledged uniform salary increase for all teachers.
Delivering his address at the national celebration of World Teachers’ Day at Kololo Ceremonial Grounds in Kampala, Mr Museveni assailed proponents of the accelerated reopening of schools closed over Covid-19 and put teachers on notice not to put him on tenterhooks over money.
