Ugandan children begin secondary school after passing the Primary Leaving Certificate, around the age of 13. They take GCSE-equivalent exams (UCE) after four years and A levels after six. Many sponsored children attend St. Muggaga Secondary School, Mityana Modern School, and St. Elizabeth Girls Secondary School, which are reasonably well equipped with libraries and science labs. Academic students can excel and advance to college and university.
Less academic children often face challenges with rote learning and may struggle to progress. In such cases, we suggest vocational courses or apprenticeships to better suit their needs.
For only £35 a month or £420 a year, you could sponsor a child for their first four years in secondary education. If the child goes on to do A-levels for two years, the fees becomes £40 a month or £480 a year.
