If you are intersted to exchange ideas and views with educational activists from around the world, you are welcome to join the next Learn2Change Online Talk. During the Online-Talks, participants report on topics and activities related to sustainability, democracy, education and social change in their countries.

The talk in December will explore the current situation of teachers in Uganda and the broader challenges facing the country’s education system. One of the most contentious issues are long-standing salary disparities between science and arts teachers. This disparity has triggered multiple strikes, including a prolonged teachers’ strike, which disrupted learning nationwide. The strike was suspended in October 2026 to allow negotiations with the government.  Our guest speaker is Filbert Baguma, the General Secretary of the Uganda National Teachers’ Union (UNATU), will provide context to the general situation of teachers and education in Uganda, the background of the strike, to ongoing negotiations, the union’s position, and the potential impact on the future of Uganda’s education system.

Furthermore, we will discuss with all participants the importance and role of teachers and educators for democracy and sustainability in this context.
