Secondary school Arts teachers in Kasese District have vowed to continue their industrial action until the government addresses their demands for salary enhancement.
The strike, which began on June 6, was organized by the Uganda Humanities Teachers Union in protest against what teachers describe as a discriminatory salary structure that favors science teachers.
While addressing a press conference at Trip Plus Guest House in Kiburara, Kisinga Sub-county, Mr. Joel Ndyanabo, their Rwenzori Regional Coordinator, asserted that Arts teachers will not bow to pressure or intimidation. Mr. Johnson Muhindo, the UPHTU Coordinator for Kasese District, expressed disappointment that the recently read national budget made no mention of salary enhancement for Arts teachers. END
