P4 Teacher, Lukwor Primary School, Northern Uganda
Strong literacy skills support learning across the curriculum. Uganda’s 2023 national assessment found that 53.9% of Primary 3 pupils assessed were proficient in English literacy and 57.5% in numeracy. Separately, a World Bank and UNESCO Institute for Statistics estimate, based on pre-pandemic data, found that 82% of children of late-primary age were not proficient in reading, including an adjustment for children out of school. Research from a separate early-grade literacy programme in northern Uganda found lasting reading gains, though no measured effect on attendance. It was not an evaluation of African Revival’s work. We work with schools to improve literacy through provision ofbooks and wheelable libraries and we aim to instil a love of books and reading – for fun as well as improved learning.
Books shared with the Jiro Primary School community through African Revival and Book Aid International.
