Monday, February 6, 2017 #Education in #Uganda is for the privileged, school fees cripple families In Uganda, most families invest everything into the education of their children because most know that education is the only way you can invest truly. Many families spend all their income on school fees. Many sell their land and cows to pay for the education of their kids to only watch them graduate and be sold into slavery. We are having a debate on the cost of education because the fees have become prohibitive for most parents. The following information is for kids joining S1 (O'level first year which is equivalent to grade 8 in Canada). While looking at the numbers, keep in mind that a medical doctor is paid sh. 800,000 (USD 225) per month if he is lucky to get his or her salary on time. University professors earn about the same. Some people do earn as much as sh. 3,000,000 though (USD $840) per month. The average family has 4 kids (many have more) but use 4 kids as a baseline.
