    (Kabale University, 2024) Owomugisha, Elias
    This study was carried out to establish the role of the National Teachers’ Organisation on the performance of Teachers: A case study of Rubanda district Uganda. The study was guided by objectives like establishing the activities played by NATO on the performance of Teachers in the Rubanda district, finding out the challenges facing teachers in secondary schools in the Rubanda district, to investigating the solutions to the challenges facing teachers in secondary schools in the Rubanda district. A descriptive cross-sectional survey research design was adopted with both qualitative and quantitative approaches. A total of 68 respondents were selected from 80 as the target population. Questionnaires were used as the main data collection instrument. Some respondents showed that teacher’s trade union is supposed to create favorable working conditions, empowerment, professional development, and job satisfaction for better performance in school by the teachers. Some respondents that when discipline breaks down in school, the safety of teachers and students is jeopardized, turning the school environment into a dangerous place to teach or learn, some respondents agreed that the core among them is the limited classroom language opportunities for the learners to practice the language, some respondents agreed that teachers’ trade unions should keep up the fight for better salaries as better remuneration has been shown to improve job satisfaction. The study concludes that UNATU is trying to promote teachers’ performance by sensitizing the teachers about their performance, conducting regular meetings with teachers, and visiting schools to listen to teachers’ issues about their performance. It can also be concluded that UNATU provides ways for in-service training teachers by calling for pieces of training, informing teachers about the importance of training, and conducting research about the new ways that teachers need to be trained in. The study recommends that the government should effectively listen to UNATU issues on how to improve their performance in schools and this will also improve teacher’s welfare in schools. More educational facilities should be provided by the government such as ICT facilities to the secondary schools for the preparation of teachers so that they can be well equipped in the use of computers. This will aid the teachers to perform more in their duties and improve their motivation levels.
