At least 56 per cent of learners did not understand the self-study learning materials distributed by the Ministry of Education during the Covid -19 induced lockdown, a survey shows.
Following the closure of schools on March 20, 2020, due to Covid-19, the Education ministry through the National Curriculum Development Centre (NCDC) distributed the first batch of self-study materials to learners, most especially in rural areas, to ensure continuity of learning.
However, a study conducted by Makerere University’s College of Education between May and June last year indicates that only 44 per cent of learners understood the content they received.
