Making Schools Ready for the Children: The Case of Schools in Pastoral Communities in East Africa

Formal education introduced early in the 19th century was not well received by the people of Karamoja. Opposition to formal education was heightened when reading and writing (the pen) symbolized the registration of people who were conscripted into the colonial British army during the Second World War. Other reasons that undermined the proliferation of formal education in Karamoja included its irrelevance to the indigenous semi-nomadic pastoral context.
