As we mark #GlobalMILWeek2026 under the theme “We All Play a Part–Media and Information Literacy for the People”, @UwezoUganda joins @UNESCO in calling on parents, teachers and communities to help children think critically, recognise misinformation and use digital media responsibly. #WeAllPlayAPart #EducationForAll

#Day 3️⃣ of the ICAN-ICAR-ICASES pilot training, saw the Trainers and PMTs test their knowledge practically in the field by assessing children at household-level ahead of the enumerator training and assessment that kick off next week in 5⃣ host and refugee context settings in Uganda🇺🇬. #FoundationalLearning #Evidence4Impact #SDG4

#Day 2 of the ICAN–ICAR–ICASES ToT continues today where teams are continuing to deepen hands-on mastery of @palnetworkHQ’s integrated tools. The focus today will be navigating the application, diving into the child assessment booklets, a review of assessment protocols, ethics and safeguarding. Tomorrow will also see the teams get a practical field experience in communities-to assess children and reflect on the outcomes. #FoundationalLearning #SES #Evidence4Impact

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?

In our recent #LifeSkills poll, creative thinking came out on top with 33.9% of responses, ahead of problem-solving (32.3%), self-awareness (24.2%), and collaboration (9.7%). Encouragingly, parents do not need special materials to nurture creative thinking. Everyday stories, chores, discarded boxes, bottle tops, and simple household problems can all give children the space to imagine, experiment, and discover different ways of doing things. We thank you for this feedback. #LifeSkills #FoundationaLearning

Today, the Africa Centre for Social Emotional Learning (AxSEL) began its five-day Foundations Course in Kampala-Uganda🇺🇬, running from 21–25 September 2026 and leading towards AxSEL Certified SEL Practitioner (ACSP) certification. @UwezoUganda is proud to be participating in this training led by @LGIHE1. In the long run, AxSEL’s focus is continental: strengthening education systems and practitioners to design, deliver and sustain quality #SEL, from its foundations and curriculum design to pedagogy, assessment and sustained institutional practice.

New @worldbankdata from the Human Capital Index Plus 2026 shows that gains made by girls in education can fade as they move into work. In Sub-Saharan Africa alone, 36% of young women aged 20–24 are neither working nor studying, compared with 23% of young men. As we take stock-nearly one year after our #WhatWorksInGirlsEducation conference, we ask: what has changed for girls and women in your workplace?

Kick off the week by giving #children what they need to: #play at school, home, and in our communities. A broad body of evidence, including from @UNICEF and @UNESCO, suggests that #play helps children build confidence, solve problems, communicate, and strengthen literacy, numeracy, and social skills. #FoundationalLearning #EducationForAll #SDG4

@UwezoUganda would like to thank you for being part of our growing community. We look forward to continued conversations around evidence on #FoundationalLearning, #LifeSkillsAndValues, and advancing access and equity in learning for all #children in Uganda and East Africa. #EducationForAll #SDG4

The post #EACREC2026 reflections are still resonating, with conversations carrying forward far beyond the conference room. We continue to unpack the powerful contributions from Uganda’s delegation to the 2nd Regional Education Conference held from 25th -28th August, 2026 in Nairobi-Kenya. Here’s a curated look at the standout quotes shaping the future of learning and still driving discussion spaces. Swipe through▶️👉
