Having just completed the baseline data collection exercise, we are now scaling the program to 78 new schools!
We have a full time team of 11 based in Jinja. At the end of last year we held meetings with headmasters, school management committee members and parent -teacher association chairs. During the break in the school semester, we've been working on team building and other exercises to prepare for visiting schools in February, when the new school term begins. Then we'll begin meeting directly at schools, with teachers and parents to lay the administrative foundation for the program.
Here's a picture of one of these meetings we held last year at Buyengo Primary School of Jinja District. The attendance at this meeting illustrates how primary education and the effort to keep children in school is a community effort.
We look forward to the start of the school semester and accordingly our busiest time yet as we work to expand from 8 pilot schools to 78 new schools of the full impact assessment!
