Graduate
Women International (GWI) moves forward on Teachers for Rural Futures Project,
UgandaThe community
engagement stage of the Graduate Women International (GWI) project Teachers for Rural Futures project district has started.
Members from the Uganda Association of University Women (UAUW) went to the
Buyende District, eastern Uganda, to sensitise community leaders, elders,
parents and especially girls on the merits of education, identify potential
girls for the next intake, and build relationships through dialogue and
education. Increasing the number of qualified women teachers in rural Uganda
represents a huge opportunity to increase the quality of secondary education for
all, increase girls’ access to and completion of secondary school and provide
role models for girls.
