2.0 PROJECT BACKGROUND
There are many under-developed communities in Uganda where children are
unfortunate to lack the opportunities to attend the basic level of education (pre-school
and primary level). Such communities are left with most of these children remaining
at home, doing chores and often loitering around.

This scenario is not limited to rural Uganda but even in some urban areas particularly
in slum communities.

2.1 OVERALL OBJECTIVE

The project shall look into its objectives in four windows as indicated below:-

Window One: Buying land and construction of school

Facilities such as office blocks and classrooms

Window Two: Mobilisation of community scouting for needy children. This will
involve media such as radio and television announcements and community
engagements.

Window three: Commencement of Nursery and Primary teaching programs for the
needy pupils. Innovation in service delivery will be continuous.

Window Four: Performance evaluation of the enrolled pupils in a holistic approach

to inform future school activities.

2.2 MISSION
The mission of the proposed Nursery and Primary school is to provide holistic pre-
primary and primary education to needy children in Uganda to equip them for a good
academic progress and career evolution.

2.3 GOALS
One of our main goals which is a hope to achieve during this plan is to build an
efficient education system with minimal cost involved.

We will try to build our own new class rooms, teacher’s facilities, school offices,
installation and setting up of new ICT system in our school.

2
 (a) . to avail quality education for free to needy pupils at the nursery and primary
level.
(b) to equip the said needy children with quality academic grades that enhance
their opportunities to access continued secondary education.
(c) to provide a technology-based approach in our academic programs for the
needy children with the aim of affording them a high-quality virtual education
community.
(d) to promote access to education for the needy children who otherwise would
never dream of school.
(e) to provide employment to both skilled and non-skilled staff of the school.

The mandate of this school is to look out for needy children in the districts of
operation and enroll them into school.

3.0 STRUCTURE OF THE ORGANISATION

Initially, the school will embrace an organization structure with a wide span of control
and a relatively short chain of command.

Thus we will employ a few employees initially for cost control measures. The
organization will be headed by a Board of Directors who wil oversee the HeadTeacher
who will be vested with the direct running of the school on a daily basis assisted by a
Deputy Headteacher, Director of Studies, Bursar, Academic and Non-academic staff.

3.1 OWNERSHIP OF THE ORGANIZATION

The school will be owned by the founding member:
Miss………….with 50% shares together with……………………….also with 50%
shares

3.2 PARTNERS
The school will work with education partners whose missions align with ours in a bid
to provide universal access to quality education for the needy population.

Among our partners will be Non-Governmental Organizations, Civil Society

Organisations as well as International Development Partners like USAID, UKAID,
DANIDA etc.

3
The role of partners will include; project financing through budget support, virtual
collaboration, technology transfer,,programme symbiosis, project assessment and
development.

4.0 INSTITUTIONS IMPACTED

Our school will work with the Ministry of Education and Sports to ensure that our
work is in line with the national standards of pre-school and primary school education.

The school’s work will also impact community development organizations as the
activities effect the quality of life in the communities of interest.

4.1 IMPACT ON NON-UNIVERSITY TERTIARY EDUCATION SECTOR

The school will foster an increase in enrollment numbers for the secondary level of
education but with a key distinction of holistically raised/equipped students who are
groomed to positively change their communities.

4.2 IMPACT ON NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

It is undisputed that the school focuses on the very foundation of the nation’s citizenry
because pre-school and primary education levels grooms a child into being either a
positive change agent or the unfortunate opposite.

Our school reduces on the education gaps that are not yet attended to by the
government perhaps due to budgetary constraints. In so doing, this school will foster
equitable education access in different areas of the country where needy children are
found.
