This Report provides an assessment on learning outcomes across the country, as measured by basic literacy and numeracy proficiencies. The Report indicates that the percentage of children (between P.3 to P.7) who could not read anything from a P.2-level English story almost doubled from 6.2% in 2018 to 11.6% in 2021. Particularly, over 25% of P.3 children could not read anything from a P.2-level English story while 25.8% could read only letters and not words. Similarly, over 10.8% of children in P.3 could not solve P.2-level numeracy tasks. 

The Report highlights important policy recommendations that Government can adopt to improve learning outcomes in Uganda. For further reading, the captioned Report can be accessed via the link below:
