Last week we attended an Inclusive Education Commi Last week we attended an Inclusive Education Committee (IEC) meeting at St. Joseph's Primary School. It is very exciting to see that the committee is at the forefront of supporting children identified with signs of learning difficulties & disabilities and referred by their teachers. This is what we would like to see in every school: implementing a school-based support system on their own, after we have exited.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ​​​​​​​​#BackupUganda #IEC #Ownership #Sustainability #InclusiveEducation #EveryChildCanLearn #LeaveNoOneBehind #AllMeansALL #LearningDifficulties #LearningDisabilities #learners #education #InclusiveEducation #reading #writing #uganda #africa #gulu #NonprofitLife #ngo #onderwijs #oeganda #leerproblemen #leraren #leerlingen #InclusiefOnderwijs #ProfessioneleOntwikkeling #ProfessioneleGroei #Eigenaarschap #Duurzaamheid

“During policy reforms, they must involve those “During policy reforms, they must involve those who implement them. It is us who bear the burden.”​​​​​​​​​ ~ Participant Last week, we attended a stakeholders meeting by FENU on the dissemination of the teachers' deployment status report in the Acoli sub-region. It was attended by civil society and local government officials from the education department. This kind of information helps us identify the gaps in the education sector in our region and country as a whole and offers a platform to advocate for inclusive education. ​​​​​​​​#BackupUganda #Advocacy #Stakeholders #EveryChildCanLearn #LeaveNoOneBehind #AllMeansALL #LearningDifficulties #LearningDisabilities #learners #education #InclusiveEducation #reading #writing #uganda #africa #gulu #NonprofitLife #ngo #onderwijs #oeganda #leerproblemen #leraren #leerlingen #InclusiefOnderwijs
We had a chat with Moses, our new Frostig trainee, We had a chat with Moses, our new Frostig trainee, and asked him to tell you about himself:​​​​​​​​​ “I am passionate about adventure, videography, and reading educational articles. Eating pasted boo and sweet potatoes will make my day always. While doing my teaching practice, I noticed that students with disabilities were often isolated from their peers and received inadequate support. This made me want to make a difference and I applied to Backup Uganda because they deal with inclusive education. In this program, I look forward to advocating for the rights and needs of students with disabilities and ensuring they receive equal access to educational opportunities.” Backup family, please join us in welcoming Moses to the team! #BackupUganda #FrostigTrainee #FrostigTraineeship #ProfessionalDevelopment #traineeship #EveryChildCanLearn #LeaveNoOneBehind #AllMeansALL #LearningDifficulties #LearningDisabilities #learners #education #InclusiveEducation #reading #writing #uganda #africa #gulu #NonprofitLife #ngo #onderwijs #oeganda #leerproblemen #leraren #leerlingen #InclusiefOnderwijs #ProfessioneleOntwikkeling #ProfessioneleGroei
