UNATU Inspiration Tuesday
The role of a teacher is not to simply eliminate challenges or difficulties that students face, but rather to nourish and cultivate their minds and abilities. Teachers are tasked with providing the necessary support and guidance to help learners grow and thrive in their learning journey.

As we near the end of the academic term, it is essential to remain attentive in preventing eye infections. These infections can be triggered by a variety of factors like bacteria, viruses, or fungi, resulting in discomfort, redness, and potential vision impairment if not properly addressed. Maintaining good hygiene practices is crucial in curbing the transmission of red eyes among students and teachers alike.

Launch of Kagulu Stop Child Labour Project in Buyende District!

We are proud to announce that on Friday, April 5th, the Kagulu Stop Child Labour Social Dialogue Project was officially launched in Buyende District. Organized by UNATU in partnership with Education International, the launch brought together key stakeholders committed to addressing child labour and promoting education in Kagulu.

The event saw a diverse group of attendees, including UNATU structure leadership (BEC, REC and NEC members), district technical and political leaders, and Area members of Parliament (Hon. Magogo Moses Hassim of Budiope East County & Nakato Mary Annet- the District woman Representative Buyende), Head-Teachers of the 11 selected project schools as well as religious/cultural leaders and the Civil Society Organizations. Together, they united in their efforts to tackle the pressing issue of child labour in Kagulu sub-county.

Discussions during the launch centered on brainstorming practical solutions to encourage children to attend school beyond traditional methods amdist the Child Labour crisis. There was a strong emphasis on creating a welcoming and supportive environment in schools to foster a love for learning among learners.

As the discussions progressed, the root causes of child labour in Kagulu became clearer, including factors such as poverty, parental negligence, cultural attitudes toward education, and polygamy among many others. Despite these challenges, the stakeholders proposed actionable steps to combat child labour effectively.

Strategies suggested included making schools more appealing, raising awareness in the community about the importance of education, empowering parents, enforcing child-related laws, and coordinating interventions by local government agencies.

As the launch came to a close, gratitude was expressed for the support of Education International in this vital initiative. The stakeholders pledged to work towards creating a brighter future for the children of Kagulu and beyond, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. 📚✨

Throw Back Thursday
The photographs were captured during the 4th Women's Round Table Conference held on December 6, 2012, under the theme "Advocating for teachers: A gender perspective". Reflecting on the journey of female educators within UNATU, it is evident how they have continuously stood up for the rights and welfare of teachers.

The conference served as a platform for these women to showcase their dedication and commitment to the profession, highlighting the challenges they face and the progress they have made over the years.

Looking back at the event, it is inspiring to see the resilience and determination of UNATU female educators as they strive to make a difference in the education sector.

Happy Women's day in advance,
