Mr. BALAAM, IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT ILLEGAL SCHOOL FEES, START WITH THE POLICY FAILURE, NOT THE HEADTEACHERS. The MoES must be watching all this and quietly laughing 🤣. They know exactly how the education system works, yet they are letting another minister carry the political burden of a problem that has existed for decades & it won't change with cameras. Section 9 of the Education (Pre-Primary, Primary and Post-Primary) Act, 2008 prohibits compulsory charges in UPE and UPPET schools, but allows voluntary FEES payment. That law has existed for years. Yet Govt allocates only about UGX 20,000 per UPE learner per year and about UGX 175,000 per USE learner per year in capitation grants. Can anyone honestly say that is enough to run a school for a whole year? MoES has DEOs, Inspectors of Schools, SMCs and PTAs. Are we seriously expected to believe all these structures have been unaware that parents contribute money to keep many Govt schools operating? In many schools, the Headteacher does not wake up and impose fees. PTAs and SMCs deliberate, parents participate, and resolutions are made. If those arrangements violate the law, then the failure is systemic, not personal. Where there is corruption; ghost learners, theft of capitation grants or misuse of school funds, the law should take its course. Those responsible should be investigated and prosecuted. But where parents have agreed to support their school because Govt funding is inadequate, and the money is properly accounted for, criminalising Headteachers does not solve the underlying problem. It merely shifts attention away from failed education financing. If this is truly a nationwide crackdown on illegal school fees, then it should not stop at Namisindwa SS over UGX 65,000. When should we expect similar enforcement visits to Gayaza High School, King's College Budo, St. Mary's College Kisubi (SMACK), Ntare School, Mbarara High School and Namilyango College, where parents pay hundreds of thousands or even millions of shillings each term? Education funding is a policy issue, not a political spectacle. SO THE REAL QUESTION IS: ARE WE FIXING UGANDA'S EDUCATION SYSTEM, OR ARE WE SACRIFICING HEADTEACHERS WHILE MoES WATCHES FROM THE SIDELINES, KNOWING THE REAL PROBLEM IS CHRONIC UNDERFUNDING? @BalaamBarugahar

Imagine selling medical equipment of a charity worth 1.4b for 4 million shillings! How immoral. Who bought this? Who sanctioned it? All these questions need to be answered.
