Educationists in Bunyoro sub region have implored the Government to stop threatening head teachers that they risk being sacked if they do not get first grades.
They say the government should instead address the issues that lead to pupil failure like poor learning environment, lack of accommodation for teachers and staff shortage.
"Producing results is not a problem, but most schools are understaffed, a school that needs ten teachers has four, some teachers are not even qualified, no chalk at school, some are in a sorry state, before you warn them of first provide a conducive environment then caution, of now this is unethical and can't work" Baingana C/m Bunyoro inspector of schools noted.
"Here most teachers ride some cycle bicycles about eight to ten miles to school, this is tiresome if you have to do it everyday, by the time you get to school it's late, but you also have to leave early, the best is why can't Government consider accomodation for at least school heads, as for now life is hard a head teacher" Mugisa cleared
Kyomuhendo questions why the ministry is not working with head teachers to address the issue of poor performance other than intimidating head teachers. "We have been signing these agreements with sub county chiefs, but the key issues is, after signing do other stakeholders do their roles, the answer is no" Mugisa said
