I believe this is a good idea, considering the poverty lives people in the villages of Uganda are going through. With the good financial backup, I believe it will be beneficial for the children the program caters for.
thank you Emily for that. i wil be glad for any contribution that you can offer, any support.
we should se this idea mature and take the sky by storm.....

I know this is a good idea, the starndard of living in Uganda needs rise, what better way to do it other than promoting better quality education?Quality education wil empower Ugandans to over come the wide spread poverty in the country, it is high time every one in uganda, urban and rural based, get a shot at quality education! It will make a huge difference!
Education, education, education. It sounds like a litany but never have truer words been spoken if you need change. Nothing is more effective for a broad cross section of change in health, in cultural attitudes, in bias, nothing divides the class barrier easier, nothing shatters gender inequalities like eduction. There is no other single criteria that changes the outcomes of children like education.
This is a timely project because no where have inequalities been felt more strongly than between rural and urban education. Year after year we have a narrow crossection of schools making up about 2 percent of the population dominating national exams. Teachers leave rural schools in vast numbers for a better life in urban areas, facilities are deteriorating fast. Something needs to be done and an idea like this is what all those who care for this inbalance need to embrace.
i would like to thank all of you who are contributing to the cause fro quality education especially as regards the Rural Urban Inequality. let us Join Hands and make this a reality. thank you again.
SEE YOUR TOMORROW TODAY.

I support u all the way, we need to get to a level where everyone has the priviledge of having education as good as we had, so that they too can be able to develop in many a way!
The Derringer Study in 2003 shows that there were substantial increases in overall enrolment rates in Uganda following school fee elimination, and that fee elimination reduced socio-economic disparities in access to primary schooling. However, Deininger finds that there were noticeable reductions in the quality of education following the influx of Universal Primary Education (UPE) entrants. This was due to an increase pupil to teacher ratio, inadequate financing for books and scholastic materials and inadequate infrastructure in these schools.
The concentration of schools that use the UPE system is skewed with rural areas having a larger concentration. This in effect means that these rural schools have been disproportionately affected by lowering standards as opposed to their urban counterparts. This program is therefore a timely intervention in trying to stem the flow of this trend. The government is constrained by lack of resources and therefore the role of civil society in trying to address these imbalances cannot be underestimated!
hey great idea. by doing this u r improving the basic education in this country enabling these kids to have opportunties that just as good as the rest of us
