Overview

The main objective of the 2019-2020 Education Sector strategy, in alignment with the Education Response Plan for Refugees and Host Communities in Uganda (ERP), is to provide refugee and host community girls and boys with equitable and inclusive access to a quality education and to strengthen systems at the national, district and community levels.

To bring more learners into education and ensure quality of learning, activities of RRP partners aim to increase the absorption capacity of primary and secondary schools through improving the pupil:teacher ratio over the next two years and by promoting double shifting. The provision of alternative learning pathways such as accelerated education programmes will help ensure access to education for average children, out-of school-children and youth and help them transition back to the formal system.
