WHY MPs WANT THIS ACADEMIC YEAR CALLED OFF.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
It should be remembered that educational institutions just as other institutions were called off in March due to the outbreak of the novel Coronal Virus. It was such an unprecedented time that the government had to disperse concentrated areas to slow the spread of the virus.
The government,after a period of 60 days in a lockdown, started easing different sectors to breathe life in the economy but a few sectors including education have remained clogged for different reasons.

Yesterday, Members of the Parliament while meeting the Vice Chancellor's Forum requested to government to annul this academic year citing lack of preparation and safety for their children.

It remains logically disturbing as to why the legislators pushed for the easing of lockdown on riskier sectors like arcades and taxi parks than educational institutions managed by literates who can easily follow the SOPs.

Many of these members of parliament have their children in international schools which basically do not follow our local school calendar and could be the reason for gagging the local sector.

Schools are organised institutions with law abiding Ugandans who treasure their health and that of their children.

The education sector employs over 600,000 Ugandans directly and indirectly and more than half of this number work in private schools that depend on school fees collection which was last collected in February.

If you annul the academic year without paying teachers, you're rendering over 300,000 people jobless. Teacher are parents, children to some people and bread winners to African families that harbour scores of relatives.

We can't afford losing this academic year with the recent statistics showing how many girl children have conceived during this space of 70+ days. There is an increase in domestic violence against children and their safe haven lies in schools.

*WAKE UP TEACHERS*
It is a typical wonder that as other sectors are demanding for going back to work(to lift lockdown), teachers are making demands and excuses for not going back to work. *WE SHALL REMAIN HUMILIATED*

It is sad to note that most of those demands made are from teachers on government payroll(after all their salary is paid). Is it only salary that you get from school, nowonder you don't care about your domant brain today. You have completely forgotten your counterparts who sign for you in the arrival book when you don't appear, the ones that teach your lessons, the ones you are mentoring to teach, the school die hards who only depend on school salary and some duty allowances, I mean the private teachers. *You are too bad*

Then there is this UNATU
Is the duty of UNATU making strikes for salary increment?? About four teachers have executed themselves due to this lockdown, isn't this worse than COVID-19??

*You demanded that the government should test all students*
Did the government first test all taxi users?? How many have contracted the virus since there opening? How many have died of the disease? How much have any people spent on treating it? *You mean the taxis are safer than schools?*

*You demanded that teachers should be given risk allowance*
Were taxi drivers given allowances, market vendors, hawkers, the boda bodas you board in feeder routes, those working in Kikuubo, banks, restaurants and hotels, were all these given risk allowances?. *You mean these are safer than schools?*

*You demanded that the government should hire more teachers because of splitting the classes* But let me ask, earlier they were six classes, now they are two?(for the case of secondary) where are the teachers that were teaching the other classes?, or if I may ask, even taxes have been split, are there more drivers now? *Please wake up*

*You reported that parents do not have money to pay fees*
Where do people get fuel for these cars that are rooming roads and traffic jam everyday, who are those boarding these very expensive taxis, markets are very busy with many customers, who is feeding those many children at home? *its you the teachers who do not have money*

*You claimed that learners will spike the corona virus infection*
Majority learners are between the age of 4 and 23 across all learning levels. How many of this age worldwide have you hard that have contracted the disease? How many of this age have died of the disease, but do you anyway make research? *Wake up teachers*

*You say you care so much about learners* Are you aware that the situation has been okay with our learners because parents have been home. Now that their parents are going back to work, they are alone at home, expect pregnances, HIV spread, accidents on roads and home,theft, because the learners are idle and no security, *do you still care for the learners?*

*WAKE UP TEACHERS, WAKE UP TEACHERS*
Very soon, the male teachers shall remain home as baby seaters, female teachers shall be morested housewives, because our spouses shall be working(those who are not teachers) as we shall seated home waiting for when the government will ever think about the "noble profession"

*PLEASE WAKE UP TEACHERS*, *BUSINESSES ARE OPENING UP*, *EDUCATION IS OUR BUSINESS*
*LETS MAKE A SOUND*
