Tangu Utoto Foundation

Mahango Sub-County, Kasese, Uganda. One of the remote areas covered by the assessment. It has a high need for improved ECDE Services.

Tangu Utoto Foundation conducted its 2022 Early Childhood Development and Education (ECDE) Centers’ Assessment in Partnership with Kasese District Local Government. The assessment sought to establish the extent of implementation of the ECDE best practices that were instilled in teachers during the various training sessions that have been conducted by the organization. Several schools registered an improvement in the delivery of their ECDE service. This demonstrated that the training sessions conducted by the Tangu Utoto Foundation with the teachers and school owners are significantly adding value to the ECDE centers.

Despite this, many schools continue to grapple with inadequate classroom space and dilapidated classroom blocks. They also face a high teaching staff turnover rate which limits knowledge retention for the ECDE best practices because the trained teachers keep getting jobs elsewhere.
