EDUCATION IS FREEDOM.

WHAT DOES THE EDUCATION SYSTEM LOOK LIKE IN UGANDA?

In Uganda, seven out of ten children won't finish a primary-level education. Most adults haven't received an education, and therefore don't see educating their children as important - many prioritise child labour over education.
Uganda has one of the lowest primary 'survival rates' in East Africa - only 33% of children who start primary school will finish. This compares to Kenya's primary survival rate of 84%, Tanzania of 78% and Rwanda of 81%.
In Government-run schools, there can be one teacher to look after 100 children, although the average classroom is one teacher to 54 students. Schools are often mud huts with no amenities, air conditioning or educational materials.
More than 2.3 million Ugandans are malnourished, with many children arriving at school without being fed. It is common for children to receive only one meal a day.
Uganda has the world's youngest population. There are currently 38 million people living in Uganda, 50% of which are aged under 14 years old.

WE BELIEVE EVERY CHILD DESERVES ACCESS TO QUALITY EDUCATION. EDUCATION MEANS OPPORTUNITIES, EMPOWERMENT AND PROTECTION FROM EXPLOITATION.
