We now know that strong #FoundationalLearning should begin early. But, how much priority should Uganda🇺🇬 give to quality #ECD and pre-primary learning in building the literacy, numeracy, #LifeSkillsAndValues children need later in life?

A mother’s decision to breastfeed should be met with encouragement—not barriers. When families, workplaces and communities support breastfeeding, everyone benefits. #WorldBreastfeedingWeek #InvestInUGchildren

Every child deserves the best start in life. Breastmilk is a baby's first vaccine—providing essential nutrients and antibodies that protect against illness and help children grow, learn and thrive. "Let's strengthen what works." 🤱💙 #WorldBreastfeedingWeek

Teachers are the no.1 in-school factor for children's learning. Yet Africa needs 17 million more by 2030. Where countries invest in teachers, children learn. As Ministers gather for #FLEX2026, we’re asking for investment in teachers, to invest in children’s futures.

When children are invisible in data, they risk being invisible in policies, programmes and services. Quality statistics help show who is being left behind, what barriers they face, and where action is needed most. #AGCSF26

This week start-coincides with the @UN's observance of the International Day of the Tropics-where it notes that by 2050 the tropics will host most of the world’s people and two-thirds of its children. At @UwezoUganda, we pause to reflect on the children growing up in the tropical regions that will shape much of the world’s future. Their learning requires-safe schools, strong foundations and education systems that respond to climate, poverty and community realities. #EducationForAll #SDG4

Today marks the final day of the Uwezo 2026 pilot assessment in Kayunga District. After spending three days in the field assessing children aged 4-16, we are concluding the process by conducting desk rechecks. This final step ensures the accuracy, completeness, and clarity of our data. #LearningForAll #CitizenLedAssessment #LifeSkillsandValues

Cohort II Dream Achievers Club Members of Oleba Primary School discuss myths and facts about menstruation as part of their life skills session today. Many young girls continue to engage in sex as a solution to menstrual pains because of wrong advice from their peers. – at Wakiso, Uganda

Sports and physical activity can help children build confidence, strengthen friendships, improve well-being, and fuel a greater sense of belonging at school. In @myfairobserver, Michael Cacich, Technical Head for the East and Southern Africa region of @EAA_Foundation's Educate A Child programme, explains how sport can support learning, inclusion, and stronger education systems.
