I am a parent of Budo Junior School with a pupil in Primary Seven.
We were given instructions to take P7 pupils back to school on May 28, 2016. However, on May 27, a phone call came from one of the P7 teachers asking us to take with us an extra Shs100,000.
Asked as to whether this was included on the bank slip we had cleared, the teacher explained that this was a separate arrangement to take care of the extra week that our children were to be at school. This brought many questions to my mind;
1. For all the last seven years I have been paying school fees for 12 weeks per term, but no term has ever been run to completion so where are all these savings? But more importantly, no parent ever complained.
2. Primary Seven pupils will be in school for third term for only one month; shall we pay less for this systematic anomaly in the system?
3. The school always has a channel through which such communication reaches parents; what happened to it this time to warrant a whole teacher to call all parents one at a time?
Please be reminded these institutions were built to educate Ugandan citizens, not for personal benefit of the managers.
Concerned parent,
Kampala
