We Need A Special Fund To Help Schools Reopen In 2022 – Besigye

Posted by: Suubi Anne in Uganda news December 22, 2021

The leader of People’s Front for Transition (PFT) Dr. Kizza Besigye has said the government needs to get a special fund to help schools reopen in 2022.

He urged the government to look into raising salaries of teachers before they strike like the doctors.

“We demand urgent interventions. We need a special fund to help schools reopen in 2022 to provide decent education services without compelling parents to pay lots of money. Money must be put in place to support schools to reopen,” said Besigye.

Besigye threatened, that PFT, will mobilize activists and the people of Uganda to cause action if government does not heed their call.

“It’s increasingly clear that many private schools were left to collapse under the burden imposed by lockdowns. Many teachers have abandoned the profession. The impact of this on the whole education system is clearly very staggering,” Besigye observed.

He also commented about the Kayunga elections saying elections can never cause change in Uganda. Besigye is a four-time presidential candidate who lost to Museveni.

However, all those times, Besigye claimed victory and even names himself the people’s president. At some point, he even held his own swearing-in ceremony as President but the police didn’t let him go on.
