Latest update on schools

December 2021

The Department of Education in Uganda has published term dates for primary and secondary schools during 2022

It is proposed that schools will reopen on 10th January and there will be three terms each of 14 weeks. The full table of term dates can be seen below.

Term From To No of weeks
1 Monday 10 January 2022 Friday 15 April 2022 14 weeks
2 Monday 09 May 2022 Friday 12 August 2022 14 weeks
3 Monday 05 September 2022  Friday 09 December 2022 14 weeks

Total: 42 weeks 

The youngest children in Uganda have not been in school for 21 months. Please pray with us :

  • that these dates will not be affected by the new Omicron variant and that schools will in fact open on that date
  • that the schools will be able to keep children safe from infection during term time.
  • that teaching staff will be able to catch children up on the work missed during the time schools have been closed.

How can you help?

It costs £300 to sponsor a child ( £25 monthly standing order ) This provides a child with an education, accommodation, clothing and food and pays teaching and non teaching staff. You can also donate securely through KindLink.
