Yaaka Digital Network
Provide a digital learning and teaching platform with relevant multimedia contentbased on each country's syllabus accessible online and offline
A recent report by UNESCO shows that in Uganda like many Africa countries, only one in nine learners access basic quality education. A 2017 report by UWEZO says 7 out of 10 learners in primary seven cannot read a primary two book. Limited or no access to relevant academic materials is affecting learning and teaching in many schools and homes.
We intend to install Yaaka in different public accessible areas like community centers, diocese or public libraries across the country where teachers and learners can access and contribute to academic content and interactions on a networked set up in a given locality.
I believe with this platform we shall provide accessible and creative learning experiences for learners and teachers so they improve education outcomes across the country.
