VVOB Uganda

VVOB has been supporting education in Uganda since 2019.

 The agricultural sector will continue to be the backbone of the economy of Uganda, yet agriculture is taught in a very theoretical manner in Uganda’s lower secondary education (O-level) and secondary technical and vocational education and training (TVET). To ensure young people have the competencies they need to secure a future in the sector, VVOB invests in effective pre-service training for agriculture teachers and instructors and in strengthening the contribution of teacher and instructor training institutions to continuous professional development.

 Uganda is also one of the largest refugee-hosting nations in the world. Refugee learners attend school together with their Ugandan peers. Faced with complex challenges, many of these learners in refugee hosting communities fall behind. To help adolescent learners in primary education catch up and thrive in their future endeavours, VVOB supports schools to implement remedial teaching methodologies.
