Teachersโ€™ degrees fail to unlock better pay Teachers who upgraded from diploma to university qualifications remain on lower salary scales, prompting renewed calls for the Government to introduce a career-progression scheme that recognises their academic advancement. โ€œIt is painful that the Government, which wants teachers to have degrees as a minimum requirement, continues to pay me as a diploma holder,โ€ Tugume said.
