@KenishaArora @DavidArcherAA @WBG_Education @TransformingEdu @GPforEducation Developing countries should renegotiate their debt service to ably finance education!

[Kenisha Arora @KenishaArora]

There can be no transformation in education without #financing. Data shows that we need to go beyond “existing commitments of 4-6% GDP & 15-20% of spending” to ensure every child is educated. @DavidArcherAA outlines key actions. @WBG_Education @TransformingEdu @GPforEducation

On Thursday, I was driving behind these two cars (UG 4183C &
UG2689C) on Entebbe Express Highway). They moved very slowly all the way, blocking both lanes - with a soldier pushing out his hand to warn me not to overtake them. After paying to use the road!

Great story @mailandguardian! Indeed we have to continue the work of following the money to bring to light the reality of global inequality

This is so hilarious the moment they realize he's an FBI Agent, but the sad thing here is that if he was just a normal black guy he would be behind bars and that's the saddest fact bout the US police

The high illiteracy levels of parents in rural areas limits the interpretation of printed materials !#ActionAidTalksUG

[Maria Balsera @MariaBalsera3]

Like other countries, Uganda uses internet, radio & TV, but the printout materials are insufficient. Social & regional disadvantages are being exacerbated. #ActionAidTalksUg

The increased care role of girls for the elderly, ill family members as well as for siblings who are out of school limits their participation in distance learning.#ActionAidTalksUG @MariaBalsera3 @OlongRichard1 @actionaiduganda @JoyEcstasy @JulieJuma1 @nicksonogwal

[Arthur Oyako @aoyako]

The system is still based on physical presence, vagaries such as weather and the shamba usually come between the learner and their education. The distance involved also contribute to absenteeism as supervision is not as strict as should be. #ActionAidTalksUG

[Samuel Ntale @samuelntale]

TV lessons are so fast, spelling is a challenge 4 lower primary, TV/radio are not at every family, poor network connectivity & inadequate free learning material. #ActionAidTalksUG @OlongRichard1 @JoyEcstasy @actionaiduganda @JulieJuma1 @MariaBalsera3 @nicksonogwal

[Maria Balsera @MariaBalsera3]

These inequalities are increasing during the schools closures https://t.co/1Ipbh74cg4 #actionaidtalksug

[Samuel Ntale @samuelntale]

The COVID-19 pandemic has shown the need to innovate & improve teaching using online materials. Designed curriculums cannot allow home study.#ActionAidTalksUG@JoyEcstasy @actionaiduganda @JulieJuma1 @MariaBalsera3 @OlongRichard1 @nicksonogwal

[NYARIBI DAVID @nyaribi]

The poor of the poorest who need the education most are again left out......#ActionAidTalksUG @JoyEcstasy @actionaiduganda @unwomenuganda @UNICEFUganda @NUDIPU @USAmbUganda @usmissionuganda @DGFUganda17

[Samuel Ntale @samuelntale]

Without community awareness campaigns targeting the majority illiterate parents on their role in distance learning, we risk having the printed education materials as toilet tissue.

[Deo Walusimbi @DeoWalusimbi]

@omwanawaTooro @akitengisabella @FredOngom1 @OpenSpaceUganda @actionaiduganda And in some instances where education materials have been delivered, chances of not getting utilised are existing. Save for having uneducated parents/guardians, those learners in distant areas find themselves in hard situations as they are jostling for inadequate #food @achaloi

[Samuel Ntale @samuelntale]

@omwanawaTooro @akitengisabella @FredOngom1 @DeoWalusimbi @OpenSpaceUganda @actionaiduganda The Minister of Health recently clarified that the District COVID 19 taskforce should integrate distribution of education materials during their surveillance work since there is no special budget to support education. Will the hunter (DHOs) be willing to share the beef (DEOs)???

[Arinaitwe Hedwig✨ @Hedwigkatty]

Did you know that some school going children have never touched a computer keyboard?
How do you think we can make education inclusive during this pandemic? #inclusiveeducation
@actionaiduganda @FarajaAfricaFdn @RdpUganda @global_uganda @equalitynow_ug @OpenSpaceUganda

[Samuel Ntale @samuelntale]

Distribution Materials have been received by the RDCs,however,these are inadequate whilst the mechanism of distribution may not be conclusive for the final user.

[Arinaitwe Hedwig✨ @Hedwigkatty]

So, some schools are sending their students homework online, how about those that can't access computers or phones. #InclusiveEducation @actionaiduganda @kibxxx

[Samuel Ntale @samuelntale]

Some rural households share radios or listen from the neighbor, who can sustain the cost of batteries whilst struggling to put food on table?

@Robertseries1 @actionaiduganda @muniekailyn @karamagi_andrew @biiraboritah1 @Mubangizi1995 @sabitijoseph I think the citizens have played their part in following directives to the later. Govt has stayed silent on flexible economic guidelines post pandemic for the informal sector whilst debating regressive tax laws effective July 2020.

[Samuel Ntale @samuelntale]

@actionaiduganda @nicksonogwal @nickopiyo @DGFUganda17 Govt should support women in the informal sector with subsidised loans to keep their businesses afloat.
