This will be effected in a revised implementation
of the government’s revised Teaching Service Regulations and Teachers’
Professional Code of Conduct.
According to the amended Code of Conduct, such
immorality will be regarded as acts of misconduct which will earn a
teacher dismissal or retirement in public interest.
“Such acts have been happening in education
institutions but we had no legal instrument holding perpetrators
accountable. But with the new regulations, we can now impose sanctions
against any culprit,” said Mr Mathew Okot-Garimoi, the deputy
chairperson Uganda Education Service Commission.
Mr Okot-Garimoi was speaking at the launch of the
Teaching Service Regulations 2012 and Teachers’ Professional Code of
Conduct, 2012 in Kampala on Tuesday. Both regulations replace those of
1994 and 1996 respectively. Homosexuality is a crime under Uganda’s
laws.
However, the vice is reportedly spreading, especially in institutions of learning.
