According to the Educational Statistical Bulletin data 2020, more than half (55 per cent) of schools in rural Bukedea have no source of power, reducing the learning hours for children and leaving no window for lesson revision after classes. Lack of access to electricity also limits access to computers, printers, and other devices, impacting effective teaching and availability of learning tools.
One of the key interventions under this programme was to install solar panels in the schools of rural communities – in an effort to restore power and help students resume education in a safe, comfortable, and enabling environment. Through this intervention, Cico Uganda installed solar panels in 3 schools - with more than 2,000 learners - in the location of Cico Uganda jurisdiction.
Hence, bringing not only the electricity but also the young learners back to school, including those from marginalized and vulnerable communities.
The solar panel installation helped provide a safe and inclusive learning environment for children during the peak seasons of learning. It also helped students’ attendance in evening classes at the schools increase drastically and with resumption of night preparation classes, the passing rate of the Grade nine students increased from 17 per cent in 2021 to 63 per cent in 2022, a 46 per cent significant increase
