DEVELOPING SUSTAINABLE MODELS FOR COMMUNITY-BASED PRESCHOOLS IN UGANDA
REFNo: SS714ES
The purpose of this study is to identify and refine models of ECCE provision which can help to increase its availability and enhance its quality in the context of Uganda. It is intended that these models should involve community ownership and management as far as possible and should be suitable for public subsidy in the future.
The main research questions are as follows and will apply to a variety of cases selected for in-depth and comparative study:
1. What structures, practices and resources can enable the preschool to be controlled by, and accountable to, representatives of a local community or other relevant community?
2. What structures, resources and system of funding can help to make the preschool accessible and affordable to all or most households in the locality? How far can these elements be sourced within the community?
3. What are the essential human and physical resources for the preschool to be of acceptable quality and how should the standards for these be stated for purposes of management and evaluation? How far can the community provide these resources?
4. Given the existing provision of resources, what should be the priorities for improving leadership, teaching and care in the preschool?
5. How can the preschool best be linked with schools, health and social welfare services and existing demand-side interventions?
