International education today for a local job later? It’s in the stars - The EastAfrican

Uganda’s Education Ministry has recently noted the rise of international schools, many operating from converted houses and offering programs similar to the national curriculum but with dollar-denominated fees. New standards now require these schools to declare their curriculum and undergo inspections, raising questions about whether education prepares children for the society they will inherit or an aspirational society. The proliferation of advertising signs in Kampala highlights this trend. The regional issue of the relevance of these schools compared to local needs remains unresolved.
