During an interview on Monday, Mr Kayiwa Benson said teachers who have developed a habit of absenting themselves from duty without authentic reasons will be facing salary deductions immediately. Some teachers are rarely seen at school and this has caused many of our children to miss lessons.
We can’t just ignore such issues as our children continue to miss lessons, fail exams while others drop out of school because teachers who are meant to teach them are too busy elsewhere and yet they are paid salary every month,’’he said.
Prolonged absence of teachers has always been a serious issue regarding poor performance of pupils in PLE and school dropouts, according to Daily Monitor.
The District has implemented a system of tracking teacher’s daily attendance and every end of month, school inspectors will be able to calculate the number of days missed, deduct that money from their salaries, then come up with final reports which will be submitted in my office,”he added.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
