" Millennium Fellowship offers us an opportunity to engage with societal issues and systems. Critical engagement in societal matters opens out eyes to the unseen world or the ignored world. The fellowship is an opportunity to rewrite wrongs in our society. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: SHAPING YOUNG MINDS INITIATIVE.
My project tackles SDG four that seeks to promote quality education. I believe quality education entails ensuring that children and youth get inclusive and equitable access to education. With many factors hindering this access to education of which some may vary according to gender for instance among teenage girls lack of access to sanitary pads hinders their access to quality education in Uganda ,how is a girl expected to study with such challenges. Stakeholder engagement also ensures access to education and it's what I am also focusing on to hold necessary people accountable, provision of basic needs, programs to ensure children get fees, we already have a tuition drive for the less advantaged, teachers should also incorporate physical education,sex education, leadership and mentorship programs, instill a reading culture,increase supply of qualified personnel, allow children to innovate, teaching about health and wellness in the nearby schools is what I seek to do with others. I have also recently tackled corruption in the education sector by writing the best essay in a national competition, and this award winning essay shows how corruption denies children access to quality education so engagement of learners and stakeholder is mandatory too.
