Addressing language barrier faced by refugee learners in the settlement-based school.

Windle international Uganda in partnership with British council are driving a program dubbed “Language for Resilience” in four refugee settlements across the country with an aim of addressing language barrier facing refugee pupils in the settlement-based schools.
Under this program, the British Council managed to facilitate the training of teachers, school administrators and community leaders to ensure that they’re empowered to shift from using only English which is a Uganda education instruction language to usage of bilingual approaches for inclusive learning.
The Language 4 Resilience (L4R) has so far seen 454 teachers and administrators trained out of 5,541 teachers across refugee resettlements in Uganda.
Besides, 130,922 out of 365,055 refugee and host community children have already benefited from the 64 out of 287 primary schools in the refugee settlements.
