Pupils, teachers chase Kayunga school boss out of office

There was drama on Thursday morning at Nakatuli Primary School in Galilaaya Sub-county in Kayunga District when angry teachers and pupils attacked and chased the head teacher away from the public school over ineffectiveness.

School management committee member Joel Kayira told Monitor that the irate learners about 11 teachers accused head teacher Gertrude Mutesi of failing to buy essential scholastic materialsin addition to absconding, among others.

Kayira, who is also the Galilaaya Sub-county councilor, explained that Mutesi reported to her office on Wednesday after being away for almost two weeks

"As soon as she arrived at school, she started blaming the teachers for not doing their work as expected. However, a section of teachers responded by complaining about her failure to provide teaching materials such as chalk to them,” Kayira said.

The blame game was followed by the head teacher promising to take disciplinary action against some of her staff members.
