Jimmy Nambiro the head of the education desk in state House and also serve as President Museveni's Private Secretary in-charge of Education and Skilling, has warned government school head teachers across the country against illegally charging parents, emphasizing that such practices will not be tolerated.
Speaking with our reporter in an exclusive interview , Nambiro said the government has received numerous complaints from parents and whistleblower alleging that some head teachers use deceptive tactics to solicit money.
“Government schools are meant to be free, and any head teacher who forces parents to pay illegal fees is committing an offence the government will not tolerate,” he said.
Nambiro noted that on several occasions President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has openly declared war on heads teachers, school administrators who intend to extort Ugandans with school fees in government institutions , over these practices, calling them exploitative and undermining government education programs.
“We will continue investigation on schools suspected of extortion. If head teachers are found responsible, they risk losing their salaries and facing disciplinary action,” Nambiro added.
Mr Nambiro advised school administrators to be vigilant, warning that some individuals may attempt to tarnish their reputations.
“Some people want to frame school administrators and set them up for failure. Be alert and ensure all school operations follow government guidelines,” Nambiro said.
