Dear Kezimbira,
Each of the lives of these female students is on the line for a mere six dollars.
That is less than the price of a packet of cigarettes here.
That a baffoon mascarading as Head-Teacher gets these powers
of life and death is a sorry comment on the backwardness of our society.
When I called this state of affairs "the law of the jungle", Hon J. Nkuuhe
got very defensive and very annoyed with me.
He claimed that Uganda is a country with rule of law, not a jungle!!
As I have mentioned on this forum before, here when there is some strike
or disturbance it is taken as failure by the principal to run the institution.
And the Principal is expected to resign forthwith.
In our land, you have heard of the Nnabingo Headmistress dismissing
the whole of Senior Four, and many other outrageous things.
I have seen too many of these so-called Head-Teachers steal or embezzle
or waste school funds.
Many of us were victims of the same high handedness. We should call the
bluff of these fellows. Stringent Laws should be enacted. The knee-jack reaction
of the Hon. Nkuuhes of this world has to end.
All are focussed on mu7, mu7, mu7. There are tons and tons of issues to address.
You could replace mu7 tomorrow and still have the same pain to still afflict our land.
Write to Nkuuhe and all your MP's demanding stringent laws about this issue.

Subject: ugnet_: Fees: Headmaster throws out students from Exams -Bukedde 16/11/2002

Students thrown out of Exams room -Bukedde 16/11/2002
Angel Lubowa and Meddi Musisi of Bukedde report that four female students of Nansana St. Joseph SS (see photo below as they weep) reported to the Central Police Station, Kampala after having been thrown out of the Senior Four Exams to due failure to complete their school fees amounting to between Ug shs 5000 and Ug Shs10000.
The students narrated that the headmaster Mr. Steven Nabende removed them from the examination room claiming that they had not fully paid school fees thereby resulting in non-sitting of the agricultural Exams. Those thrown out of the Exams are Claire Naiga, Irene Nakanjakko and Ruth Kauwa who all owe the school Shs 10000 each plus Lydia Namaganda who owe the school Shs 5000. The Police has referred the matter to the authorities of education ministry.
Netters: Was it right for the headmaster to act so painfully? Why should the headmaster wait until the D-day to pin down the students? Is it worth ruining the future of these female students for a price tag of shs 5000 and shs 10000 respectively? Where are the rights and protection of students from poor families in Uganda? Why pick on just female students?
