I am sure that any time from now, he will chase me from his premises. I hope government listens to my cry,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>In Gulu City, the director of God is Good Nursery School, Ms Joyce Lamunu, said: \u201cWe have invested a lot in this and one wonders what is next for us, but since I am not renting, I am thinking of engaging in poultry as I wait for next year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In Kwania District, Mr John Onyango, the director of Good Foundation Junior School, said he is likely to close his school due to the high operational costs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are not collecting anything from the parents yet the maintenance cost is very high. The school has to pay electricity bills and also pay the askaris (private security guards) and it is eating into our pockets yet the school is not making any money,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>While Ms Esther Ocen, the director of Dul-Owelo Nursery and Primary School in Apac District, is worried that her school infrastructure could collapse if the government delays to reopen nursery schools.<\/p>\n<p>In Masaka City, Mr Abubaker Suuna, the head teacher of Universal Kindergarten and Primary School, argued that the decision to keep kindergartens closed was not based on scientific research and urged government to revisit its position on the matter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom the look of things government appears to be phasing out nursery education because they are not directly controlling it. But if they do so, they will be denying the toddlers a firm foundation for their education,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>However, Mr Lee Musiime, the director and proprietor of Busy Ants Kindergarten in Gulu City, said despite the current situation, teachers must continue engaging learners from their homes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is not time to give up. We shall have to continue until things come back to normal,\u201d Mr Musiime said.<\/p>\n<p>In Wakiso District, Ms Doreen Nakku, the proprietor of Doreen and Tom Nursery School, said: \u201cGovernment has done nothing to assist nursery teachers and private schools proprietors in general. Even the stimulus package earlier promised is not forthcoming, but they (government) have money to spend on other luxury items of less importance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In Busia District, some parents have resorted to enrolling their children in schools in Kenya.<\/p>\n<p><b>Plight of the teachers<\/b><\/p>\n<p>On February 5, a section of nursery teachers in Kabale District under their umbrella, the Association of Early Childhood Workers Kabale, stormed the office of the Resident District Commissioner, Mr Darius Nandinda, to formally petition the government over the continued closure of kindergartens.<\/p>\n<p>The disgruntled nursery teachers say government is indifferent of the conditions they are currently going through.<\/p>\n<p>They are not the only ones who have been frustrated by the lockdown.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Gloria Habaasa, a teacher at a school in Kanungu District, said before schools were closed, she had acquired a salary loan from Centenary Bank.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy loan has accumulated so much because I have not been able to pay the monthly instalments. My hope was in reopening pre-primary schools to get money to pay it back. I am currently hiding for fear of being imprisoned,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Shadia Nakirya, 24, who was a nursery teacher at Becky\u2019s Eden Nursery School in Buikwe District, said ever since government closed schools to avert the spread of Covid-19, she has been searching for a new job in vain.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMen want to first sleep with me to give me a job. I am now looking for the capital to start frying chips at the road side because there is no indication that nursery schools will be reopened soon,\u201d Ms Nakirya said.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Nakirya also asked government to reconsider its position on nursery schools, saying proprietors and teachers can also follow the Covid-19 guidelines like in other schools.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Becky Bushira Namubiru Ssemudu, the school director, said she is currently planning to start a poultry farm and forget about the school.<\/p>\n<p>The deputy head teacher of St Patrick Nursery and Primary School in Buikwe District, Mr Paul Musalirwe, said although some nursery teachers have moved on to do other jobs, a good number of them have vowed to stick to the profession.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome of the teachers have moved on to do some private work, but they keep calling us to get updates on when nursery section is expected to be reopened,\u201d Mr Musalirwe said.<\/p>\n<p>While the director of Amazing Pre-primary School, who also doubles as treasurer for Kisoro District Private Primary Schools Association, Mr Alex Mushime, said many pre-primary schools in the area may not open even when government clears them, because of the heavy losses they have incurred during the lockdown.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany of the pre-primary schools operate in hired premises and since schools have not been operating for a year, the proprietors were not remitting rent fees to their landlords thus accumulating huge arrears,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><b>Govt directive<\/b><\/p>\n<p>On February 6, Education minister Janet Museveni said nursery schools handling children aged three to six will remain closed throughout the Covid-19 season.<\/p>\n<p>The minister explained that this particular age bracket doesn\u2019t wear face masks and are at high risk of contracting respiratory infections like coronavirus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVaccination against Covid-19 will be gradually rolled out beginning with the most vulnerable population. Children aged 16 years and below may not be eligible for the currently available vaccines.This means that we cannot wait to vaccinate learners before opening education institutions for the rest of the classes,\u201d Ms Museveni said during a media briefing at State House Nakasero in Kampala.<\/p>\n<p>She added: \u201cPre-primary schools shall not be reopened for the time being.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Complied by Al-Mahdi Ssenkabirwa, Robert Muhereza, Naume Biira, Ambrose Musasizi, Leonard Mbishinzimana, Denis Edema Santo Ojok, Bill Oketch, Derick Kissa &amp; Suzan Nanjala<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
