The dream of integrating digital tools in Uganda’s primary schools is alive, but deeply uneven. Across five regions of the country, teachers, education officers, and school administrators have opened up about their hopes, hurdles, and the growing urgency for digital transformation in the classroom.
This was part of a nationwide needs assessment by the Digitally Enabled Community-Centered Early-Childhood Development Approach (DECEDA), an initiative led by Nkumba University with support from the Uganda Communication Commission, through the Uganda Communications Universal Service and Access Fund (UCUSAF), to understand Uganda’s digital education readiness, before transformation can begin.
