Teachers dismiss Minister Mukasa’s threat to sack them over strike

The ongoing nationwide strike by arts and humanities teachers, which started on September 15, 2025, continues to paralyze teaching in government secondary schools. The industrial action, led by the Uganda National Teachers’ Union, is a protest against the longstanding discriminatory salary structure that exclusively favors science teachers, contravening the 2018 Collective Bargaining Agreement, as Beata Muwema reports.
