"Millions are being kept away because when you learn that there are schools where they pay school fees of 150,000 (Ugandan Shillings, $40.76) for a whole term, that is about two and half months, and then they tell you these kids have studied, the kids studied for the first three weeks was sent away for school fees and never returned. Now imagine if they are struggling at 150,000, what about above that?”

13. SOUNDBITE (English) Justine Nangero, Widow:
"For example, now if they send these children for money, may be if they are going for a tour, they are going for maybe swimming, if I see I cannot raise that money I just tell them ‘you people should just stay at school because I am not ready to raise that money’. They (school) are still demanding fees now how can I pay for this (activity) when I am still demanded of fees. So sometimes I fail even Shalom, sometimes they always go for trips when they are going to study or maybe they are going for geography. So sometimes when they are going, I fail to raise that money."

15. SOUNDBITE (English) Joanita Seguya, Deputy Headteacher Wampeewo Ntake Secondary School:
"Some of them whose parents are struggling, some few of them, selected some of them may come with an idea of providing something in kind. Say like ‘can I bring cassava,’ ‘may I bring my potatoes?’ "May I bring my greens – ‘Buuga’, ‘Nakati’ (vegetables) pineapples? We also have watermelons’, we say yes. Of course it follows a program you don’t bring everything and you are not the only one. So it is timetabled, that if you are supplying this week then it’s her supplying the other week. Like that so that everyone gets a bit."

"We are really suffering. The schools are never patient with us. Even if you are left with a balance of 1,000 shillings out of 10,000 shillings, they will send your kid back home. They don’t care, they will send the child back home until you clear their 1,000 shillings. All they care about is just their business, there is no help at all."
