uganda: 36,000 Teachers With Aids to Lose Jobs

Uganda's well-documented fight against HIV and Aids will take a strange turn if a recommendation, by the Education Service Commission, to ask teachers living with the disease to resign is implemented. The Commissioner for Secondary Education and HIV/Aids co-ordinator in the Ministry of Education, Mr Yusuf Nsubuga, said on Wednesday that the recommendation would affect teachers who have been on sick leave for six or more months.
