dc.description.abstract | To evaluate the implications of sickness presenteeism on the teaching-learning services in public secondary
schools in Busia district, Eastern Uganda. The study adopted a cross-sectional design and gathered responses
both qualitatively and quantitatively using structured interviews and questionnaires from secondary school
teachers and Headteachers in government secondary schools in Busia District. The study used a stratified
sampling technique with a sample size of 215 respondents. The study reveals that teachers’ on-time work plans,
focus on their duties, and understanding of students’ needs and learning styles are crucial for effective teaching
and learning. Teachers must prioritize and meet deadlines to maintain classroom cleanliness and discipline. The
study recommended that the Ugandan government, through the Ministry of Education and Sports, should
provide continuous professional development opportunities for teachers, enabling them to update their skills and
knowledge. Additionally, the government should put in place mechanisms to encourage the use of technology in
classrooms to foster interactive and engaging learning environments. Implication of the study, the government
through the Ministry of Education and Sports should advocate for the introduction of insurance for teachers to
further support and incentivize their commitment to their profession. This insurance could provide financial
protection for teachers in the event of illness, injury, or any unforeseen circumstances that may prevent them
from working. By offering this benefit, schools can demonstrate their commitment to the well-being of their
teachers and their dedication to ensuring their job security. | en_US |
