RWEYOWA: Teaching English in our local schools

English is Uganda's official language and it is one area that students need help most. By volunteering, you help develop the pronunciation, vocabulary and writing skills of students. With the introduction of Universal Primary Education (free primary school education) in Uganda, the Uganda Government was faced with a dilemma. A large amount of students entitled to an education and a comparative lack of teachers. Teaching at a Ugandan. community school is an experience like no other. Although their lives have been harsh, the local children are extremely eager to learn. This project is an ideal opportunity to help students with new ways of learning to improve their understanding and speaking abilities of the English language. RWEYOWA needs English volunteer teachers to help in partner Schools in Uganda both nursery and primary school levels. You can volunteer and Intern from 1 month to 1 year and help the one in Need.

Schools in Uganda runs for three terms a year although the school terms vary from year to year but are approximately as follows: (Term One – January to March, Term Two – May to July, and Term Three – September to November). There are short breaks between these terms in the months of April, August and December during which time volunteers can take a break and can engage in other RWEYOWA activities if interested or if not involves in tourist activities.
