Unions Attack Failings of Schools Funded by Gates The Morning Star, London, 27 September 2016 GLOBAL teaching union federation Education International (EI) urged the Ugandan government yesterday to ensure that private schools bankrolled by US billionaire Bill Gates were fit for purpose. The Bridge International Academies (BIA) chain of tin-shack schools opened for the new term after the Kampala High Court granted an interim order before an October 3 appeal. Education Minister Janet Museveni ordered the closure of BIA's 63 low-cost private schools in August, citing "poor hygiene and sanitation which put the life and safety of schoolchildren in danger," along with their use of unqualified teachers and failure to follow the national curriculum. EI project director Angelo Gavrielatos told the Morning Star: "Bridge's business plan is predicated on the employment of unqualified staff delivering a highly scripted standardised curriculum in cheaply constructed facilities."
