Learning outcomes

The ultimate test of UPE is whether all children are achieving acceptable minimum learning outcomes.

There is a growing body of evidence which suggests that, the quality of teaching and learning in the schools of many rural communities is of a very low standard. Participation in primary education is not an end in itself. It is a process which should develop self-esteem and confidence and an ability to apply knowledge and skills in diverse circumstances and for a spectrum of social, economic and political purposes.

Having given an overall overview of the education system in Uganda over, support African child Nursery and Primary school has its own challenges.

These include:

1.                Lack of permanent structures

2.                Inadequate instructional materials

3.                Shortage of teaching qualified staff

4.                Shortage of hygiene facilities (Toilet & Garbage collection)

5.                Shortage of water (Need for water tank)

6.                Shortage of seats

7.                Lack of a Secondary School

8.                Lack of equipment for vocational training.

9.                Lack of Teacher's salaries and allowances.

10.           Lack of Teacher's accommodation

Since the school is operating under an organization which is not yet funded, it cannot attract skilled and dedicated personnel to execute its duties.

However, despite all these challenges SACWI-UG, has gone some way to meet its challenges thus it enjoys good will of people in its area of operation.

SACWI-UG members and volunteers are committed and endeavor to contribute in whatever mode whenever they are called upon to render a helping hand and lastly but not least SACWI-UG Advisory Board is composed of distinguished citizens with high levels of integrity and professionalism. A number of them are respected lawyers, doctors, politicians, clergies and public figures.

This has assisted the organization with abundant human resources to make necessary contacts in the government, local community and international community. The core staff which is spearheading the implementation of SACWI-Uganda activities is very much committed and dedicated despite the inadequacy of basic resources under which they operate at the moment.
