For years, teachers have been
viewed as secondary stakeholders, often overlooked in discussions that directly
impact their profession. This marginalization is evident in the disparities in
their compensation compared to other professionals, despite their significant
contributions to society. Teachers are frequently subjected to policies imposed
without their input, leaving them to implement changes they neither understand
nor agree with.
As the primary implementers of
educational policies, their insights and experiences are invaluable. By
including teachers in the decision-making process, Uganda's education system
could see substantial improvements, benefiting both educators and students.
Teachers spend a significant
amount of time with children, often more than the children's own parents. This
positions them as vital stakeholders in the educational sector, whose voices
should be heard and respected.
By valuing and incorporating teachers'
perspectives, Uganda can create a more effective and inclusive education system
that truly reflects the needs and aspirations of its educators and students
alike.
