Govt to recruit 50,000 more teachers in public schools

“The headteachers have been giving the excuse of not having enough teachers. They end up hiring some teachers. But we have done our calculation, and it shows that we need 50,000 extra teachers. We are going to recruit them and remove that excuse of lack of teachers. Our children must study for free,” he said. 

President Museveni, in this file fphoto with Primary School pupils said in his next term of office, the Government would be very harsh with headteachers who are frustrating the free education programme. (New Vision/Files)
