Teachers at Kampala Parents School staged a protest on Wednesday, citing poor pay and alleged unequal treatment.
Holding placards and chanting slogans, the teachers decried their inability to afford tuition for their children to study at the very school where they work.
“We cannot afford to have our children study here. How can you work in a school and fail to eat something from it?” One teacher lamented.
Another added, “You cannot intimidate us,” expressing frustration over the management’s alleged indifference to their grievances.
The teachers claim they are paid Shs600,000 per month, a figure they say pales in comparison to other staff members, such as security guards, who are reportedly earning up to Shs3 million.
Kampala Parents School is owned by city tycoon Sudhir Ruparelia.
