Ian Kyeyune Vows to End Teacher Shortage in Wakiso Schools

Eng. Ian Kyeyune, the newly elected Chairperson of Wakiso District, has pledged to address the persistent shortage of teachers in government schools, identifying adequate staffing as crucial for enhancing education standards.

“

Every government school should have a minimum of eight teachers. This is necessary to create an enabling environment for learners to study well and improve academic performance.

Kyeyune stated that every government-aided primary school should have a minimum of eight teachers to foster a conducive learning environment and improve academic performance. He attributed the staffing deficiencies in many schools to the prolonged absence of the District Service Commission, the body responsible for recruiting public servants. "This is one of the issues I intend to resolve during the first sitting of the new council," Kyeyune announced.
