On May 4, 2020, The initiative for Social and Economic Rights (ISER), held a webinar on the initial impact and implementation status of the MoES framework for the provision of continued learning during the Covid-19 pandemic The panelists shared the reality on the ground - an aspect that calls for more advocacy and accountability action especially in remote areas of Uganda where the majority of parents and learners have no access to resources that would help in sustaining continuity of learning. Among the challenges identified were: insufficient learning resources, network issues, poverty, lack of commitment and illiteracy of some parents who are now expected to be drivers of learning not excluding a destructive home environment that does not favor self- driven learning. A need to embrace a bottom- up approach that puts in consideration learners in remote areas that have no access to some of the learning resources such as internet, smart phones, radio, television was articulated so as to mitigate the inequality gap. Continued advocacy by RELI members for the less disadvantaged and assurance that no learner is left behind is in progress so as to address some of the mentioned gaps.
