“We cannot afford to have our children study here. How can you work in a school and fail to eat something from it?” one teacher lamented. Another added,

“You cannot intimidate us,” expressing frustration over the management’s alleged indifference to their grievances. Some teachers alleged that foreign staff, particularly Indian nationals, are favoured in terms of remuneration.

In conclusion, Kampala Parents School is owned by property magnate Sudhir Ruparelia. In 2004, Sudhir, through his Ruparelia Group, purchased the school and subsequently expanded its facilities and enhanced its reputation for academic excellence.
