On October 19, 2024 at the World Teacher’s Day celebration held in Lugogo Cricket Oval, President Museveni emphasized that, despite the various challenges confronting the nation, the NRM government has made mass education a top priority.
This commitment he said has led to a significant rise in the literacy rate, which has improved from 43 percent to 76 percent.
“Those who laughed at our strategy can now see the results. Everything we do aims to empower everyone: mass education, mass immunization, and security for all to bring peace throughout the country,” he noted.
Additionally, he stressed that the government began enhancing the salaries of science teachers, with plans to address arts teachers in a phased approach.
