Ever innovative ideas from India, very interesting and admirable.

The Ugandan Ministry of Education should borrow aleaf from India to
addressing the ever increasing number of droup outs in the Universal
Primary Education. What do you think?

By the way what happened to the proposed ICT Caravan that never was? You
remember in 2006, I think during comemoration of World
Telecommunications Day at Hotel African? Who was supposed to spear
head...UCC and others??

We anticipated the cavaran to be used in creating awareness about ICTs
in schools, rural communities, public spaces among others.

Enjoy the reading and view below.

bus school Photo: Nick Cunard Teaching India's most vulnerable children
A bright yellow bus is helping to knock down the barriers to
primary education faced by many of Delhi's poorest children.

The bus is run with the help of DFID money, as part of the Indian
government’s successful Education for All programme to get children
who've dropped out of school back into the classroom.

“If the children can’t make it to school, we have to take the school to
them, to their doorstep,” says Sudama, 25, the Bus School teacher.

Equipped with a TV screen, books, puzzles, and toys, the children rush
to meet the bus every morning as it arrives near the four slums where
they live.

Parents are encouraged to bring their kids to the Bus Schools, where
they often have classes outside. Click on the image to view the film.

Indian government plans to
increase the number of Delhi bus schools to 25 – providing an education
for an estimated 5,000 more children a year, and a bridge to full-time
primary education.

through education  A commitment to education for all
In April 2006, the UK Government committed to spend £8.5 billion over
10
years in support of education in developing countries. Our long-term
commitment is helping poor countries in Africa and Asia to prepare
ambitious and credible long-term plans to achieve the education goals by
2015.

DFID is working with developing countries, international organisations,
civil society and other donors in tackling obstacles preventing children
from going to school, such as tuition fees, the lack of teachers,
over-crowded classrooms and inadequate facilities and teaching
materials. Find out more in our Education In Depth pages    Department
