Education is the foundation of a strong and prosperous society. By prioritizing primary education in Uganda, we are investing in the future of our country. Let's give every child the opportunity to reach their full potential and contribute to the development of our nation. https://lnkd.in/dz2SkTnt #primaryeducation #educationforall #UgandaEducation

*THE DYING CULTURE THAT NEEDS REVIVAL (3)* One of the major Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) which nigeria aimed to achieve was the eradication of illiteracy among youths. It is so sad to say that our Education system today is the worst it has ever been in our history as a nation today. According to the World Development Report, only about 20% of young nigerians who have completed primary education can read. According to UNESCO'S data, Nigeria illiteracy rate was about 59% among youths and 65% among young adults in 2021. Common entrance cut-off marks are as low as 30 out of 300 in some states. Explaining the disparity between the rising percentage of passes recorded and actual learning outcome. Our children from the primary to tertiary level are been taught from obsolete curriculum that has no bearing with the models of this 21st century. HOW THEN CAN WE COMPETE WITH OUR PEERS FROM ROUND THE WORLD ??? The dying culture that has been demoralizing us and eating us up, must be revived so our present generation of Gen-z's can be able to stand Confidently to do exploit. Our school Education curriculum should be overhauled and modernized to enable our children connect to the outer world. I am once again reminded that nigeria must shift from talk to action. This is the sole duty of the nigerian lectures, teachers and students (seeking for the modernization of our curriculum) for the betterment of this present generation and the generation yet to be born. If we can deploy our voices, influence, intellect and resources to uphold our education and ultimately the future of our nation. A New Nigeria where everybody wish's to eradicate corruption, live in harmony , co-operate and colloraborate intensively, jointly develop and take our country to the standard of a world-class center for excellence, Can be built. The government shouldn't be blame for everything, I believe there are certain things we as a private sector, individuals can do to contribute to the development of a new nigeria. When we all start from where we are standing, using any resources our hand can touch to start building, A New Nationa (cannaan land) will be born...... IT CAN ONLY GET BETTER IF WE START,NOW "AS THE YOUTH WILL ALWAYS BE OUR PRIDE"... #youthdevelopment #nigerians #youth

Last week, we presented the Urban Education Report titled "Access to Quality Education for Children Living in Urban, Poor Informal Settlements in Uganda" in Kampala, #Uganda. The study focused on households in 42 villages with school-going children aged 3 to 19 in urban informal settlements in Kampala and Mukono. It aimed to understand schooling patterns among children living in urban poor households in Uganda, including those with special needs, the communities' perceptions of education as a right in the context of urbanization, and the educational opportunities available for children with special needs and those from poor urban households. Here is the policy brief and our recommendations! African Population and Health Research Center #IamAPHRC #APHRCResearch #EducationForAll #DevelopmentCommunication

Last year, we partnered with a few professors and academicians to evaluate some of the programs we have been running in Uganda and we are very excited to share My Home Stars’ first impact assessment. In this report, we have compiled detailed insights of the profound impact the 5 Staz educational modules have had on the teachers' and students' education experiences in the schools we serve. The various testimonials from both the teachers and students are particularly encouraging. We so much appreciate your support and we are looking forward to the continued expansion of our programs in various schools.

Knowledge empowers individuals to make informed decisions and take control of their lives, while access to information frees them from ignorance, enabling better choices and fostering independence. Education is fundamental for societal progress, as it nurtures critical thinking, innovation, and skills essential for economic growth and social cohesion. Together, knowledge, information, and education drive personal empowerment and societal advancement. At Redan Business and Vocational Institute, we envision "To have an excelling nation, Uganda and the continent of Africa through innovations, skills training and first class education." #redanscholarsfellowshipprogram #redaninstitute #rbvi #rbvinolimits #redanbusinessandvocationalinstitute #redanskillingprogram #redan redaninstitute.ac.ug

This #WorldDayforCulturalDiversityforDialogueandDevelopment, let's celebrate the vibrant tapestry of cultures that enrich our world. Locally-led development is key. Top-down approaches to aid and development often fail to consider communities' unique needs and cultural contexts. Adeso stands in solidarity with proximate leaders worldwide, as they reclaim and revitalize their unique cultural heritage. Traditional knowledge systems and cultural practices hold immense value and are best understood and implemented by the communities themselves. By embracing locally-led development, we can ensure aid and development efforts are culturally appropriate, effective, and co-created alongside communities.

For generations, Kutura residents have depended on livestock to earn a living. Since animals need water and pasture to thrive, communities move in search of these precious resources, which often means children and youth are unable to attend formal school. Celebrating cultural diversity, such as this, Adeso and the community created the Mobile Non-Formal Education (MNFE) Center to address this reality. Over the two-and-a-half-year project duration, the MNFE educated nearly 400 youth, 70% of whom were girls.

Different Colour-cups One Meal The school meals programme in Eastern Province of Zambia shades a brighter light on so much empirical and theoretical evidence of impact that has alot to write home about. There are 742 schools in the programme; more than 400,000 learners being fed every school day; increased attendance and enrolment rates; improved concentration levels seen in increased passing rates, and reduced teen pregnancies linked to reduced transactional teen sexual relationships, because girls now have an option of a meal at school. These synergetic positive stories that cut across SDG4 and SDG 2 in the 10 year journey of the programme, are encouragingly indications of our desired outcomes of having education systems that increase access to inclusive, lifelong, quality, and relevant learning in our country; at the same time leveraging the pangs of hunger in households. #Foodchangesthestory
