Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The Ministry of Education and Sports has warned head teachers against hiking tuition fees when schools reopen on January 10.<\/p>\n

Speaking at ISBAT University\u2019s 14th graduation ceremony last week, Mr John Chrysostom Muyingo, the junior Education minister in charge of Higher Education, said schools should not harbour thoughts of burdening parents with unnecessary hikes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should not take advantage of the current situation to exploit parents. We are not expecting any school fees to increase. Nobody should be asked to pay beyond what was approved by the board of governors,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Muyingo\u2019s statement followed the minister of Education\u2019s directive. While officiating at the closure of the Education Ministry sector performance review at Kololo Independence Grounds, Ms Janet Museveni warned headteacher in private schools not to hike school fees.<\/p>\n

Mr Muyingo said if a school\u2019s board of governors approves an increment, the minutes of the meeting should be sent to the Education ministry\u2019s permanent secretary for approval.<\/p>\n

He urged parents to seek redress with the Education ministry in case of any irregularities.<\/p>\n

The minister hailed the institution for spearheading online teaching amid the stinging effects of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Mr Jachan Omach, the university\u2019s board chairperson, said their IT infrastructure saw them continue discharging their teaching materials even in the face of lockdowns. \u201cWe have 22 countries represented in this university, meaning we are exporting education to those 22 countries. During the lockdown, we gave free data to students and we never stopped lectures,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
