Students at the prestigious Nabisunsa Girls’ School have raised alarm over alleged mistreatment of parents by some teachers and security guards. The revelations came during the launch of the Integrity Ambassadors Club, where Deputy Inspector General of Government Ann Twinomugisha Muhairwe invited girls to submit anonymous notes on corruption and integrity issues in their school and community.
When Muhairwe read the handwritten complaints aloud, several described teachers and askaris shouting at and disrespecting parents and guardians at the school gate, often in full view of the students. She called the behavior unacceptable, possibly criminal under laws against verbal abuse, especially of women, and directed school leaders to address it urgently while preserving the notes for follow-up.
Muhairwe balanced her message by stressing mutual respect—students must treat teachers with dignity too—and shared a personal story of reporting a taxi conductor who insulted her, leading to police action. She urged the girls never to stay silent against injustice. Headteacher Hajjat Janat Namujuzi Kakumba welcomed the event, highlighting the school’s 70-plus-year mission to empower girls with strong character and integrity.
The new Integrity Ambassadors Club, led by Form Six president Amal Bushirah Najjuma, aims to fight corruption through debates, meetings, charity, and campaigns, starting at Nabisunsa and spreading wider. For parents and the school community, these complaints highlight a gap between stated values and daily conduct, pushing for better accountability among staff to match the institution’s reputation for nurturing upright young women.
