Daily Monitor Monday March 01 2021 It is now almost a year since the coronavirus pandemic forced a lock-down upon us all, disrupting lives and livelihoods. Amid all the other hardships, more than 15 million children in Uganda have had to face an unsettled learning and development environment. And with schools only expected to open gradually, many children still face months of home learning. As we reflect on the past year, what have we learnt?

Government and non-government actors have had to collaborate to develop teaching materials, radio lessons and other ICT enabled solutions.
