Butere girls teacher accused of altering play script with political content

A teacher at Butere Girls High School is facing disciplinary scrutiny after allegedly altering the script of the school’s play Echoes of War without prior approval. The changes were reportedly made ahead of the Regional Drama Festival held on March 22 at Chavakali High School.

In a showcause letter dated March 25, the school’s principal accused the teacher of inserting politically sensitive content into the performance, which deviated from the original version approved and performed at the County Level Festival on March 18 at Bulimbo Girls High School.

According to the principal, the revised play included student actors holding placards and banners with slogans such as “Occupy Space,” “SHA,” and “Cash Cow.” These, the principal claimed, introduced anti-government undertones that were not part of the original script.

“You are therefore asked to show cause why disciplinary action should not be taken against you for altering the original script to make the play reflect anti-government themes,” the letter states.

The letter further alleges that the script changes were made without consultation or approval from the school administration, and that the teacher acted contrary to school expectations and guidelines.

In response, the teacher has been given seven days to submit a written explanation or face unspecified disciplinary measures. The issue has attracted the attention of higher education authorities, with copies of the showcause letter sent to the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) Secretary, the TSC County and Sub-County Directors, and the chairperson of the school’s Board of Management.

The incident has raised broader discussions about the boundaries of creative expression in educational institutions, particularly when student performances touch on sensitive political themes.

While the TSC and school officials have not publicly commented on the matter, the case highlights the challenges teachers face in balancing artistic interpretation with institutional and regulatory expectations in school drama productions.
