BASIC EDUCATION AND LITERACY
THE SEPTEMBER THEME
Literacy is the ability to read with understanding and
write meaningfully.
The ability to read and write is an important personal
asset allowing individuals increased opportunities to life.
Basic education is meant to capture the knowledge and
skills needed to participate in the economy of the state.
Basic education is an involving program of instruction
that is intended to provide students with the opportunity
to become responsible and respectful global citizens, to
contribute to their economic wellbeing and that of
families and communities, to explore and understand
different perspectives and enjoy productive and satisfying lives.
Basic Education and Literacy is one of the Six Areas of
Focus of The Rotary Foundation (TRF), whose mission is to
enable Rotarians advance Goodwill and Peace, through
the improvement of Health, the support to education,
and the alleviation of poverty.
More than 775 million people over the age of 15 are
illiterate that is 17% of the World’s adult population. Of
these, 60% are women and 67 million children have no
access to education. As for Uganda, 26% of the population is illiterate.
The Basic education and literacy theme is also in line
with United Nation Sustainable Development Goal no. 4
“QUALITY EDUCATION”. This calls on ensuring inclusive
quality education and promoting lifelong learning.
Achieving inclusive and quality education for all therefore reaffirms the belief that education is one of the most
powerful and proven vehicles for sustainable development.
This goal ensures that all girls and boys complete free
primary and secondary education by the year 2030. It
also aims to provide equal access to affordable vocational and wealth disparities and achieve universal
access to quality higher education.
Therefore our goal is to strategize the capacity of the
communities to support the basic education and literacy
for both children and adults.

To these ends, the goals of each school in districts with the
involvement of parents and community members shall
provide opportunities for every student to develop the
knowledge and skills essential to:
• Read with comprehension, write effectively and communicate successfully in a variety of ways and settings.
• To know and apply the core concepts and principles of
mathematics, social , physical and life science, civic history,
including different cultures and participation in representative governments.
• Think analytically, logically and creatively and to integrate
technology literacy and fluency as well as different experiences to solve problems to form reasoned judgments.
• Understand the importance of work and finance and
how performance, effort and decisions directly affect future
career and educational opportunities.
Basic Education and Literacy theme for the month of
September gives Rotarians the opportunity to develop
meeting agenda, projects and public image campaign
based on this area of concern.
Rotarians worldwide are committed to supporting the goal
through the September theme with educational oriented
projects that provide technology, teacher training, vocational training teams, students’ need programs and low
cost text books to communities.
The Rotary Club of Bweyogerere-Namboole has joined
hands with other clubs in the district and world over to
support Basic Education and Literacy.
This is effected through formation of Retract clubs, Interact
clubs and Rotary Community Corps.
Participation in the rehabilitation and retooling of both
Primary and Secondary Schools.
Supporting University Students and paying school fees for
Primary and Secondary school girl student.
Provision of clean water to communities and schools.
Former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan was quoted
saying “Literacy is a bridge from misery to hope“
And former Prime Minister of India Mahatma Ghandi once
said “Basic education links the children, whether of cities or
the villages, to all that is best and lasting in India. “
