About Us
Teachers and Teacher Training
Uganda Schools Project
In 2022 POE paid to have 5 additional teachers added to the school. In 2024 we added another 5, for a total of 10 POE sponsored teachers. After completing a new classroom block in the end of 2025, we added 5 more POE sponsored teachers for a total of 15. Our student to teacher ratio is coming down! The school has decided to cap enrollment at ~900 students so we won’t continue to have over-crowded classes without enough teachers.
With POE support, 5 teachers a year have the opportunity to further their education and pursue a bachelor’s degree, master’s degree or certificate. With the addition of our Digital Classroom (DC), POE is sponsoring the costs for 2 teachers to obtain a degree in IT starting in December 2026.
To develop the DC, POE worked with the teachers over Zoom for 7 months to develop a system that worked for them, with their curriculum, translations that made sense in their local language and digitized all of their current textbooks. When we arrived in 2026 to install the DC and train the teachers and students, we were blown away by their dedication to the students and how they embraced the new system. They are a strong community of educators who care deeply about their learners and who are committed to helping students achieve at the highest level – including teaching on evenings and Saturdays.
