Poor conditions fuel deaths among Uganda’s teachers

December 14, 2023

The Uganda National Teachers Union has said there has been a high number of deaths among teachers, mainly caused by ill health due to poor working conditions.

According to the union, more than 1,000 teachers in the country have died in the last two years. It said Uganda is at risk of facing a shortage of teachers by 2025 as poor conditions push more and more teachers out of the profession.

Statement added that Ugandan teachers are constantly stressed by an overwhelming workload caused by understaffing, as well as a paycheck of about 490,000 Ugandan shillings ($125) per month.

The General Secretary of Uganda’s National Teachers Union said the union has repeatedly urged the government to improve teachers’ welfare, which would in turn boost the quality of education received by students.
