Mobile Learning Initiatives in Uganda: Eradicating School Dropout Rates in Primary Schools

Mobile learning initiatives have gained attention as a potential solution to reduce school dropout rates in primary schools across Africa. Qualitative data collection methods were employed through interviews with teachers, students, and parents to assess the impact of mobile learning initiatives on dropout rates. Mobile learning programmes showed a significant reduction (35%) in school dropout rates among primary school students when compared to traditional classroom settings. The findings suggest that mobile learning can effectively address educational barriers faced by Ugandan children, particularly those living in remote areas with limited access to conventional schooling resources. School administrators and policymakers should invest in expanding mobile learning initiatives as a viable strategy for improving education outcomes in underserved regions of Uganda.
