A worsening teacher shortage is straining Ugandan schools, leaving classrooms understaffed and disrupting education for thousands of students. The crisis has forced some institutions to operate with skeleton teaching staff, raising concerns about learning quality and long-term academic outcomes. Experts warn that the gap between demand for educators and available teachers is deepening, with rural areas hit hardest. Without urgent solutions, the shortage risks further widening educational inequalities across the country.
