Teachers at Kampala Parents School, one of Uganda’s top-performing primary schools, staged a protest on Wednesday, citing poor pay and alleged unequal treatment.
However, the teachers decried their inability to afford tuition for their children to study at the very school where they work.
The teachers claim they are paid Shs600,000 per month, a figure they say pales in comparison to other staff members, such as security guards, who are reportedly earning up to Shs3 million.

“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.
