KAMPALA: Teachers at Kampala Parents’ school have returned to class after striking a deal with school management.
Details of the terms in the agreement are still scanty but according to an insider, the teachers have agreed to get back to work.
On Wednesday last week a group of Teachers at KPS, one of Uganda’s top-performing primary schools, staged a protest, citing poor pay and alleged unequal treatment.
Holding placards and chanting slogans, the teachers decried their inability to afford tuition for their children to study at the very school where they work.
Kampala Parents School is owned by property magnate Sudhir Ruparelia.
Located on the foothills of Naguru Hill, the school was founded by Ghulam Kadri, an educationist, who built its reputation as one of Uganda’s top-performing primary institutions.
In 2004, Sudhir, through his Ruparelia Group, purchased the school and subsequently expanded its facilities and enhanced its reputation for academic excellence.
Kampala Parents School is renowned for its exceptional academic performance and premium fees, attracting pupils from affluent families across the country.
Updates will follow as more information becomes available.
