There can be no transformation in education without #financing. Data shows that we need to go beyond “existing commitments of 4-6% GDP & 15-20% of spending” to ensure every child is educated. @DavidArcherAA outlines key actions. @WBG_Education @TransformingEdu @GPforEducation
This month @UN’s @antonioguterres is convening Heads of State for the #TransformingEducation Summit. Our Senior Lead on Economic Justice, @DavidArcherAA was appointed in April to be the convenor of the finance track which is central to everything. #BackToSchool 🧵 1/12

On Thursday, I was driving behind these two cars (UG 4183C &
UG2689C) on Entebbe Express Highway). They moved very slowly all the way, blocking both lanes - with a soldier pushing out his hand to warn me not to overtake them. After paying to use the road!

Great story @mailandguardian! Indeed we have to continue the work of following the money to bring to light the reality of global inequality

This is so hilarious the moment they realize he's an FBI Agent, but the sad thing here is that if he was just a normal black guy he would be behind bars and that's the saddest fact bout the US police

The high illiteracy levels of parents in rural areas limits the interpretation of printed materials !#ActionAidTalksUG
Like other countries, Uganda uses internet, radio & TV, but the printout materials are insufficient. Social & regional disadvantages are being exacerbated. #ActionAidTalksUg

What are your general thoughts about Uganda’s distance learning amidst covid-19 pandemic environment? #actionaidtalksug

The increased care role of girls for the elderly, ill family members as well as for siblings who are out of school limits their participation in distance learning.#ActionAidTalksUG @MariaBalsera3 @OlongRichard1 @actionaiduganda @JoyEcstasy @JulieJuma1 @nicksonogwal
The system is still based on physical presence, vagaries such as weather and the shamba usually come between the learner and their education. The distance involved also contribute to absenteeism as supervision is not as strict as should be. #ActionAidTalksUG
TV lessons are so fast, spelling is a challenge 4 lower primary, TV/radio are not at every family, poor network connectivity & inadequate free learning material. #ActionAidTalksUG @OlongRichard1 @JoyEcstasy @actionaiduganda @JulieJuma1 @MariaBalsera3 @nicksonogwal
These inequalities are increasing during the schools closures unesco-wide-production.herok… #actionaidtalksug
The COVID-19 pandemic has shown the need to innovate & improve teaching using online materials. Designed curriculums cannot allow home study.#ActionAidTalksUG@JoyEcstasy @actionaiduganda @JulieJuma1 @MariaBalsera3 @OlongRichard1 @nicksonogwal
The poor of the poorest who need the education most are again left out......#ActionAidTalksUG @JoyEcstasy @actionaiduganda @unwomenuganda @UNICEFUganda @NUDIPU @USAmbUganda @usmissionuganda @DGFUganda17

Did you know that some school going children have never touched a computer keyboard?
How do you think we can make education inclusive during this pandemic? #inclusiveeducation

Distribution Materials have been received by the RDCs,however,these are inadequate whilst the mechanism of distribution may not be conclusive for the final user.
So, some schools are sending their students homework online, how about those that can't access computers or phones. #InclusiveEducation @actionaiduganda @kibxxx
Some rural households share radios or listen from the neighbor, who can sustain the cost of batteries whilst struggling to put food on table?

Me I am in the village, so most of people access food
However people in lock towns have little access to food.
Thefood the government is serving is not enough for people's survival.
Old & disabled suffer most in this situation
#ActionAidTalksUG #AYWE
There have been reports of families starving during this Lock down ,how is the food security situation in your area and among your peers? #ActionAidTalksUG @karamagi_andrew @Mubangizi1995 @muniekailyn @biiraboritah1

We were also not allowed to present any witnesses or a meaningful defence argument at the trial. No one wanted to risk their life or careers by testifying for Dr Nyanzi in such a politically charged case." - @IsaacSsemakadde

Well done! Hope they'll be able to link it with GRPS as a community of practice.
Using the Public Service map today, I showed the Reflection-Action members a video of how Mrs. X died because of lack of public services in her Community. Interesting reflections after the video @actionaiduganda @EmmaPearce2 @OlongRichard1 @kawooyaf1 @samuelntale @HGimbo

Part 1: The cost to connect for #Uganda’s poorest will jump by 10%, resulting in just 1GB of data costing them nearly 40% of their average monthly income. The richest Ugandans will experience an increase of 1% in their cost to connect! @A4A_Internet

Together with Local Govts, we need to remind &recognize public servants on the net worthy of their core responsibility in quality public service delivery. xitter.cf/NyambeZed/status/10105…
Hon. Mukitare thanks @actionaiduganda for organizing this event that was not known to the Country & he says @actionaiduganda has been a great partner in development & should continue promoting social struggles for the realization of #QualityPublicServices @actionaiduganda
