“When we returned from the COVID-19 lockdown, the school changed the payment process from the usual monthly salary to daily wage,” one of the teachers in a secondary school said.
Adding that many will still have to struggle to earn a living just like they were doing during the lockdown. Abdul-Salaam Nsanja, an administrator at Kinaawa High School, in Kawempe confirms that their school is also applying a similar policy.
“To survive in business, the school had to look for means that favour both the school and the staff. We renegotiated the payment terms and adopted the per lesson mode,” says Nsanja.
