Students Turn-up In School Still Low After Teacher’s Strike

Posted by: Suubi Anne in Education July 7, 2022

Schools are still battling with low turn-up of students. This is after teachers met the president on Monday and decided to call off their strike and go back to school.

The teachers had laid down their tools for close to four weeks. This prompted many government-aided schools to close down because nothing was going on in school.

The fact that teachers actually were striking in intervals made the strike last longer. Science teachers and arts teachers laid down tools independently.

Due to this, students probably got tired of everything happening in and out of school culture. Currently, most schools especially in villages have reported that students are not turning up in school.

In some schools the turn is low, but for most, learners are nowhere to be seen. Does this mean the strike has changed some students’ minds regarding school?

It should be understandable because students are still healing from the unwanted holiday of two years due to Covid. When such things happen again, the discouragement is way too deep because most students are still catching up.

This means schools should arrange a session with students probably to counsel them and encourage them to study.

Meanwhile, though teachers have gone back to school, the morale is low because they didn’t get what they wanted. They are only going back to school as an order not to lose their jobs.

The question is, will this not affect how teachers teach? How will they pass on knowledge when they are no longer interested in the job?
