Ugandan teachers turn to coffin-making after schools close - The Covid-19 pandemic resulted in the country’s schools closing and teachers being left without jobs

Bugobi residents were no longer compelled to travel long distances to find affordable coffins.

His success prompted about 30 teachers to join him, many of whom were left frustrated and penniless by the ongoing school shutdown. About 15 million students have been out of school since the government sent them home in March last year, and activists fear a surge in teen pregnancies and child labour.

“If I was given an option between teaching and carpentry, I would take the latter because it is ready cash,” Godfrey Mutyaba said. On average, teachers working at private schools in Bugobi earn from $100 to $250 a month.
