With a goal to tackle the challenges of school closures and support continuity of learning, the study groups program is providing early grade reading materials and instructional support to 17,500 learners in Primary 1 through Primary 4 at home and in community-based study groups. The study groups will help Ugandan children to access learning while schools remain closed and help prepare them for a return to school planned for June.
