{UAH} President Museveni telling students, " Don't opt for teaching..."

Masaka.

President Museveni has advised students not to join the teaching profession, saying the country currently has enough teachers.

 However, according to UNESCO Institute for Statistics, the Pupil-teacher ratio shows that students in some countries have little access to their teachers due to poor pupil -teacher ratio. 

Primary is the number of pupils enrolled in primary school divided by the number of primary school teachers.

Country                                                                                                    Year

Uganda                                                               2010            2011                                                 2013

                                                                             49               48                                                     46

DR.Congo                                                          37                   37                                                37

China                                                                  11                   11                                                 11

Does the president's claim that we have too many unemployed teachers when the teacher -pupil ratio remains that poor more so when in some cases we have 150 pupils to 1 teacher?
