Basic education and literacy

Literacy for Life: St. Mbaga Tuzinde Kiwatule Primary School Literacy Development Project

Low literacy rates hinder educational progress, with only 60% of primary school students achieving basic reading proficiency by Primary 7 (Uwezo, 2023). St. Mbaga Tuzinde Kiwatule Primary School faces challenges such as inadequate scholastic materials and a lack of mentorship, contributing to high dropout rates, especially among girls affected by poverty and menstruation-related challenges.
