Save the Children supports non-formal schools in rural parts of Uganda. The NORAD-funded programme has constructed new classrooms and teachers’ accommodation; trained teachers on new participatory learning approaches, such as ‘Literacy Boost’ and ‘Numeracy Boost’; and helped get parents and communities engaged in learning and supporting the school. More than 11,000 children have benefited from the NORAD programme, and literacy levels among the children have increased by 47 percent.
