The leadership of the Uganda National Teachers’ Union (UNATU) has announced the suspension of their sit down strike following a meeting with President Museveni.
“We realized that for the interest of learners and the interest of our members, discussions need to continue. Therefore we decided to take the direction of suspending the industrial action as the discussions continue. Starting tomorrow (Tuesday), we are going back to school,” UNATU General Secretary, Filbert Baguma said on Monday evening.
