Ugandan schools reopen after longest COVID-19 closure
CA, 17 Jan 2022
Schools across Uganda reopened last week, for the first time since March 2020.
The government in the East African country wanted to keep schools closed until COVID-19 vaccination rates increased. But while a quarter of Ugandans have had at least one vaccine, only about three per cent have received two doses.
As Redmond Shannon reports, it’s estimated approximately one-third of Ugandan students will never return to the classroom.
