All of you must remember what was called a British military Training team that Obote got from the British.
This team was actually a mercenary company - Sandline International.
In fighting the insurgents in Luwero, they and Obote recruited all Uganda's Secondary School Math Teachers into a battalion which had been promised to become the new elites in Uganda.
Well they had all of them perish in Luwero. The British were controlling both sides in the war(Remember m7 in Lonhho?)
So, we lost a whole generation of Sec School Mathematics Teachers.
Read what is happening in Kako SS and reflect on how they made sure we would be crippled for a generation, with no Math Teachers.....

Kako SS closed over strike
By Michael J Ssali
MASAKA - The police on Thursday closed Kako Secondary School following a one-week sit-down strike by students.
On Monday, over 700 students refused to attend classes and camped at the main gate.
They accused the headmaster, Mr Laban Bukenya of dictatorship and complained of lack of textbooks and furniture.
On Tuesday, the Assistant Commissioner in the Ministry of Education, Mr John Agaba, and the District Police Commander, Mr James Musaanya, addressed the student following a memorandum they wrote to the ministry.
In the memorandum, they claimed that there had been frequent water shortage problems and O-level students do not do science practicals until they are in Senior Four.
They claimed that Senior Five students had not been taught Physics and Mathematics since they joined the school this year.
�Our dormitories have bats and leaking roofs,� the memo stated.
Agaba promised to return to the school within a week to deliver the ministry's decision on their complaints.
He directed Bukenya not to dismiss any student including those that he suspected to have led the strike.
However on Thursday, Bukenya gave a dismissal letter to the Chairman of the Students Council, Mr Simon Peter Kyeganwa.
This provoked the students to boycott lessons and they threatened violence.
Bukenya called the police, who ordered the students to return home at about 4.00 pm.
Exams start next week.
