#government funding

More than 120 non-teaching staff at Makerere University are expressing frustration over a salary harmonisation exercise that they claim excluded them, despite the government allocating significant funds for pay alignment across public universities. The affected employees, which include Administrative Assistants, Laboratory Assistants, and Senior Clerical Officers, are seeking clarification on the matter, according to The Independent.

Senior secondary school principals have suggested a thorough review of school fees due to rising operational costs and delays in government funding. This proposal indicates that parents may face increased financial burdens as schools seek to address these challenges.
