Ugandan students from St. Mary's College in Aboke listen as former abducted girls who returned from captivity by Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) rebels talk about their ordeal during a ceremony October 10, 2005 to commemorate the abduction day . Nine years ago LRA rebels abducted 139 students of St. Mary?s College in Aboke, releasing 109 students when the school?s deputy headmistress Rachele Fassera, an Italian nun, followed the rebels into the bush but retained 30 girls, most of them aged between 14 and 15 years. Twenty-four of the girls have since returned at different times and five are believed to have died. The fate of one is not yet known. Picture taken October 10, 2005. REUTERS/Hudson Apunyo - RTR196Y8

The idea of saying you’ll chase teachers as if you are chasing chicken thieves won’t work- UNATU General Secretary Filbert Baguma

According to Sauti Za Wanachi – a Twaweza research, at least 46% of Ugandans do not speak to anyone about problems they identify at their children’s schools. This, the researchers noted is a result of a poor communication environment the school administration builds with the parents who are primary stakeholders. Thus, the parents tend to speak to proximate school leaders rather than people in government which in turns makes the problem less or partially solved. “One out of 10 parents said the problem they reported was solved completely (7%), three out of ten say it was partially solved (32%) and the rest, six out of ten, say the problem was not solved at all (61%),” the research found.  These findings were released by Twaweza in a research brief titled Preparing the Next Generation: Ugandans’ opinions and experiences on education. The brief is based on data from Sauti za Wananchi, Africa’s first nationally representative high-frequency mobile phone survey. The findings are based on data collected from 1,878 respondents across Uganda in September and October 2018. When it comes to school values, citizens hold emphatic views. Almost all citizens (94%) want girls who get pregnant to continue with their education whether after giving birth (74%), during pregnancy (13%) or in another school (7%). And this appears to be a far-reaching problem as four of ten citizens (35%) know of a family member who dropped out of school due to pregnancy. Marie Nanyanzi of Sauti za Wananchi at Twaweza said that despite many saying they don’t report problems they see at schools, Ugandans are engaged in the education sector. She tasked the government to invest more into explaining the capitation grant and its uses to parents and provide more transparent avenues through which complaints are reported and handled.
