The woman mp for Serere district who is also FDC secretary General Alice Alaso has defended the teachers over their plan to strike for the salary increment.

Speaking to journalists at parliament today Alaso said that teachers have been agitating the same over a period but government seems to be ignoring their call.

She said parliament has been recommending for the salary increment of teachers but no report has been taken serious.

She says that it’s possible for government to increase the salaries and therefore there is no reason as to why they should keep on postponing. He called upon government to quickly respond to the teachers before the two weeks given by teachers’ elapses.

Meanwhile Alaso called upon government to look into the education system and come up with the system that is favorable to this country.

She says that the system as it now is more experimental and therefore it cannot help Uganda in future.  She says that if Uganda continues with the current system Uganda will face human resource crisis.

She called upon education specialists in the country to come together and develop the system that will help Uganda in future.
