On 22 April 2022 Thomson Reuters Foundation reported: Like many children in Uganda, Bridget Nabawanuka was excited about seeing her friends again after the world's longest pandemic school closure, but a steep hike in fees meant she never made it back to the classroom. The seven-year old, who now works at her mother's food stall in the capital, Kampala, is among a rising number of children who are dropping out because cash-strapped parents are unable to pay soaring bills from state and private schools. ... Economists have also raised fears that the education crisis could leave countries like Uganda without the skilled workforce they need for their future development. Global Good News service views this news as the failure of modern education and government systems. Such 'flops' highlight the need for more intelligent, evolutionary, Natural Law based, life-supporting systems.

... UNICEF said about one in 10 children in Uganda did not report back to school in January, while the National Planning Authority (NPA), a government agency, estimated last year that up to 30% of children could drop out due to COVID-19 fallout.

Factors include rising poverty, children taking jobs, early marriages, and teenage pregnancies, which have soared during classroom closures.
