NRM caucus commissions a study on school fees after Munyonyo meeting
MPs say parents are being priced out of termly payments. The caucus wants figures, not only speeches, before the next education debate.
The same NRM caucus at Munyonyo that talked about graft also commissioned work on school fees. MPs said the termly bill is now a political problem, not only a household one. A study is not a fee cut. It is a promise to return with numbers on what schools charge, what government sends, and where the gap is filled by parents. For Kigezi families already stretching tea and potato money across three school-going children, the timeline of that study is the story. Joy FM will ask for the terms of reference when they are published, and whether rural boarding costs are in the sample or only Kampala day schools. _Based on caucus coverage, 10 August 2026._
