Uganda National Adult Literacy Policy
Adult literacy as an aspect of education for all is a fundamental human right. Literacy is an essential right of every individual, regardless of age, sex, disability, ethnicity or creed, to education and a means to achieving other human rights. The need to provide adult literacy and eradicate illiteracy among all young people and adults as well as provide them with skills for better livelihoods is of great concern to Uganda. Adult literacy is important for acquisition of knowledge and skills, particularly for those who missed the opportunity of benefiting from the formal school system and are now as a result outside the framework of formal education system.
