Having trekked hills, valleys and endured the scotching sun-teams from Yumbe and Isingiro districts are winding up today with the data collection of the ICAN-ICAR-ICASEL Pre-Pilot assessment.
Next will be @UwezoUganda, @palnetworkHQ, @CCEDUC1 and @YfcUganda sitting with the data collection teams for reflections to tease out lessons to improve the tools and the process.
For Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) to be truly effective, teachers need locally made high-quality, context-relevant teaching and learning aids.
FICH & GRIC Africa are glad to see the 48 teachers actively making their own materials and learning from one another during the ongoing 5-day refresher training. This hands-on session is helping them develop practical tools they can immediately use in their classrooms.
By strengthening teachers’ ability to create and use these aids, we are ensuring smoother and more impactful TaRL implementation across Oyam, Kole, Lira, and Arua districts.
Together with the 14 Head Teachers, experts from @gricafrica, @VVOBinUganda , we continue to close learning gaps and improve foundational education in Northern Uganda #FICHGRICimpactsUg
TaRL Refresher Training Underway in Lira City
A total of 14 Head Teachers and 48 Teachers implementing Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) are undergoing an intensive 5-day refresher training in Lira City.
The training started yesterday and runs until Friday. The focus is to equip these 62 educators with practical skills to close learning gaps among learners in the Oyam, Kole, Lira, and Arua districts.
We are glad to be joined by experts from @gricafrica and @VVOBinUganda who are supporting participants in sharpening their facilitation skills and developing quality teaching and learning materials.
TaRL is a proven, highly effective learner-centred approach that originated in India and has helped millions of children catch up in reading and numeracy. It continues to transform foundational education in Northern Uganda. #FICH_GRICimpactsUg
While the Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) methodology has shown great promise, its implementation has not been without challenges. In response, FICH has organised a special targeted session for TaRL Mentors and Head Teachers (representing school administration).
This important session aims to openly identify existing gaps and equip school leaders with practical solutions.
Since Head Teachers play a critical role in driving school-level improvement, strengthening their capacity will lead to smoother and more effective TaRL rollout across schools. #FICH_GRICimpactsUg

Technology is transforming how the world learns, works and connects. From AI to digital classrooms, the opportunities for improving education are growing rapidly.
At @UwezoUganda, we believe that to fully leverage the benefits of technology, foundational literacy, numeracy, life skills & values; are a must-have for every child to thrive.

It's been an incredible weekend @fichuganda as
The Senior Leadership Team had a powerful 2-day Leaders Retreat at Brownstone Country Hotel, Lira City, under the theme: “Moving FICH Forward… From Transformation to Action, From Me to We to Work!”
Great conversations, deep insights, and fun team building led by David Kafambe.
This is part of our continued investment in leadership; 5 leaders completed the Collective Rising Leadership coaching program last year, and 6 more are enrolled this year.
From Me to We to Work. FICH is rising!👏 #FICHLeadership #FICHCRLI
@cies_us 2026 conference is here with exciting sessions! In case you’re attending, please join this pertinent session where @alive_programme@ReliAfrica and counterparts discuss whether ‘Secondary Education is Building the Skills Youth Need for Success Later in Life’, on Sun, March 29, 4:30 to 5:45pm, Hilton San Francisco Union Square, Floor: Fourth Floor, Union Square 24. With most countries embracing Competency-based education (CBE), this is a timely conversation to explore school environments most suited to nurturing the skills and competencies young people need to navigate and thrive in this everchanging world. @mizizielimu@EducateOrg@poverty_action@WBG_Education
Did you know that 56.7% of Ugandan youth aged 14–20 are at Literacy Pre-Level 1; meaning they struggle to correctly interpret common workplace signs and symbols like "danger" or "help when injured"? At first glance, numeracy outcomes appear more encouraging, with 73.2% reaching Numeracy Level 1, where they can recognize basic shapes and numbers. Yet despite achieving this foundational level, most still cannot apply these skills to everyday situations involving time, money, or quantities.
We must ask ourselves: why do nearly nine in ten (86%) remain below Numeracy Level 2, unable to confidently handle routine tasks, despite spending years in school? This gap between classroom learning and practical competence doesn't just limit job opportunities but it also affects everyday decisions, personal safety, and productivity. If schooling isn't translating into real-world ability, what does that mean for Uganda's future workforce?
Additionally, parents and children gather at a round table to address and rectify their differences or errors, instead of parents being severe with the children. Consequently, the bond between parents and children has greatly enhanced - Apio.

Apio Dorcus says Children now identify and address problems independently, as well as assisting their peers in resolving issues.They are capable of assigning themselves tasks without parental involvement; with @alive_programme's parental engagement in May & August 2025 in Oyam

We are thrilled to participate in the RELI Uganda 2025 Annual Convening, themed 'Leveraging Data, Innovation, and Collaboration for Transformative Education in Uganda'. This event provides a valuable platform for us to come together, share evidence, and showcase innovations that are revolutionising teaching, learning, and equity in education.
Today, at the National Conference on Girls' Education, we are honored to welcome Prof. Rose Pauline, who will deliver a keynote address titled 'Five Years to Go: Accelerating Progress towards Gender Equality in and through Education.' With the Sustainable Development Goal deadline fast approaching, Prof. Pauline's presentation will provide a critical reflection on the progress made in advancing girls' education, as well as a candid examination of the persistent barriers that stand in the way of achieving true gender equality.
Day three of the maiden #GirlsEducation Conference in Uganda held at Hilton Garden Inn Hotel-Kampala concluded with a powerful rallying call from the Guest of Honour, Dr. Kedrace Turyagyenda-The Permanent Secretary, @Educ_SportsUg. Sharing her personal journey in the STEM field, she underscored the conference's core finding that girls are falling behind boys in this field before challenging all participants to commit to ensuring girls not only attend school but are supported to remain in school and succeed.
With over 100 presentations, three keynote speeches and panel presentations-participants evaluated this conference as hugely a success. It was organized by @UwezoUganda in partnership with @kyambogou University’s School of Education, the University of Cambridge's @REAL_Centre and @ReliAfrica.
This closing moment capped a significant gathering from October 1-3, 2025-bringing together 237 participants from 22 countries to confront a critical question: What Works in Girls’ Education? The diverse assembly, over half of whom were women, shared evidence and strategies to improve education outcomes for all children, with a dedicated focus on girls. A conference Communique with commitments and recommendations was released.
#5Days Left
The conference will gather policymakers, educators, students, researchers, civil society representatives, and youth advocates to discuss challenges, share strategies, and promote quality education for all.
