Gov’t sh open up schools with strick laws and use of temperature monitor gun private teachers are doing so badly orelse gov’t must start paying those teachers we are suffering like the boda boda people whom you have given them hope in life.we don’t want to strike but put yourself into our conditions and feel the pain. Andrew.
Man think of other things
Me I don’t see the difference between a boda boda carrying a passenger, arcades, busy shops, markets, with schools. Only I think politics has entered this covid 19 in Uganda. Fellow trs let’s not strike unless the government starts giving us salary If they can’t reopen schools.
Gov’t shld think abt the conditions through wch the students are going through during the current burn on learning institutions l. I would suggest that govt comes out clearly tell the public whether the schools will reopen or consider it a dead ur coz many are still in suspense .
