Under the DANIDA SP II project, we conducted a policy brief dissemination workshop to share critical findings on teacher efficiency, effectiveness, professionalism, and productivity. This event brought together policymakers, local governments, Ministry of Education and Sports Uganda , UNATU, Civil Society and development partners. The workshop successfully raised awareness of key policy recommendations and mobilized stakeholder commitments to strengthen education systems to address the challenges of teachers across the country.

Last week, we engaged in vital follow-up meetings with key political and technical leaders across Madi-Okollo, Terego, and Yumbe districts under the Danida SP II project.

These constructive dialogues were bringing together District Education Officers (DEOs), LCV Chairpersons, Chief Administrative Officers (CAOs), along with representatives from Uganda National Teachers' Union (UNATU) and UNITE in their different districts. Our discussions centered on critical teacher welfare, local education challenges, and key advocacy issues requiring urgent attention at both the sub-national and national levels.

Systemic change happens when local leadership and national advocacy align. Looking forward to driving these action points forward to support our teachers and improve learning outcomes.

Yesterday, we convened a policy brief validation workshop that brought together key players from government officials to Civil society and all duty bearers.,

The draft brief, focusing on Teacher Efficiency, Effectiveness, Professionalism, and Productivity, was presented by Prosper Mubangizi from Lumen Consulting.

Why does this matter? Because for Uganda to build a truly resilient future, we need to ensure that our education and vocational training systems work for everyone where teachers are prioritized because of their role in teaching and learning. This validation meeting ensured that the recommendations we push forward are practical, inclusive, and ready to make a real impact on the ground.

Yesterday we held a Teacher Situation Assessment workshop under Danida SP II. The Validation workshop of the report from a study conducted by Luigi Giussani Foundation - LGF (LGF) with funding from Oxfam in Uganda brought together education stakeholders to discuss important realities facing teachers in Uganda's primary and secondary schools.

The study which was made in selected districts of the West Nile and Karamoja sub-regions to better understand the support systems available to teachers brought out issues for both immediate and future advocacy.

Participants drawn from different government and Civil society offices thanked EAN and its partners for convening such a timely meeting. They further welcomed the findings as presented in the report and noted that these are important evidence for improving teaching and learning.

Last week, we hosted a powerful radio talk show on Akica FM to highlight the progress of the From Mines to School project implemented in partnership with Resource Rights Africa (RRA), Oxfam in Uganda with support from Oxfam Ireland and European Union Delegation to Uganda

Joined by the Subcounty Chief of Lotisan Subcounty, the District Senior Education Officer Moroto District, and our Program Manager, we shared major success stories and discussed the future of mobile schools as we continue to work towards reducing hazardous child labour in the mining communities.

Our mission remains clear: to urge families and leaders to get children out of the mines and into schools. By having these children in schools and their parents supported to have alternative income generating activities, we are paving a path toward a brighter, safer future.

Today we hosted Members of Parliament, local government officials (political and technical) of Karamoja Subregion for a high level engagement on reduction of worst forms of child labour in mining communities on education and extractives under the hashtag Project.

The engagement was graced by MPs from Amudat, Moroto and Nakapiripirit districts. Hon. Cheutich Rufinah the Amudat Woman Representative commended EAN for the good work done in establishing mobile schools in Amudat which will help bridge gap and help children in mining areas access education.
Hon. Lolem Micah Akasile the Upe County MP noted that the hashtag project offering AEP in the mobile schools is helping children in mines to access education since some of these areas like Kokwochaya and Kongorok didn't have a single school.

Today we join the global community to commemorate the International Day Against Child Labour.

Under the From Mines To School Project with support from European Union in Uganda Oxfam in Uganda implemented in partnership with Resource Rights Africa in the Karamoja region where hazardous artisanal mining continues to claim the education and health of young learners we are actively breaking the cycle.

By deploying Mobile Learning Centers and utilizing Accelerated Education Programs (AEP), we are meeting vulnerable children exactly where they are withdrawing them from the mines and preparing them to transition smoothly into formal education.
