Key Information

The Instructional Leadership Programme aims to address the whole school system and provide enough support, knowledge and skills to school heads and their teachers, to enable them to create self-sustaining learning communities. The programme aims to improve the quality of teaching by creating networks of highly trained professionals who can guide struggling teachers locally thus raising the quality of pedagogical practice in every classroom and improving the whole school system. Over 9% of Uganda’s primary school teachers have now accessed some Varkey Foundation ILP training. Our full-time teacher trainers carry out training for each school leader representing a different community within each district. The programme is aiming for saturation of the districts until all the schools are trained to ensure a community of trained teachers in the areas of pedagogy. The programme has 5 different phases: 5-day intensive face to face course, Saturation of training across whole counties and sub-counties, Saturday Workshops, Satellite schools, and Primary Teacher Training College.
