The District Education Officer (DEO) of Kabale, Mowes Bwengye Tumwijukukye, has reported a concerning trend among science teachers. He stated that some educators have become increasingly alcoholic and are neglecting their classroom duties. This behavior has emerged following government salary enhancements implemented in the 2022/2023 financial year. Graduate science teachers now earn approximately 4 million Shillings per month. The DEO's observations suggest a link between the increased income and the rise in substance abuse. Consequently, the quality of education in the classroom is being compromised. The local education authority is now addressing these professional failures.
