Airtel Uganda has celebrated the impressive performance of students from its adopted schools following the recent release of the Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE) results.
The telecommunications company has long been committed to supporting education initiatives across Uganda, helping students unlock their potential and achieve their dreams.
Among the standout performers were pupils from Ndeba Church of Uganda Primary School in Kayunga, Nanfugaki Primary School in Iganga, St. Ponsiano Kyamula in Makindye, and Seke Primary School in Lwengo District.
These schools, adopted by Airtel Uganda, have benefitted from a sustained partnership, which includes mentorship, infrastructural upgrades, and ongoing support.
Despite the challenges of underserved communities, 11 pupils from Airtel’s partner schools achieved first grade in their PLE exams, showcasing resilience and the remarkable potential within every learner.
Airtel Uganda’s investment in both educational infrastructure and emotional well-being has contributed to this success.
The company’s staff have volunteered their time at the schools, sharing their skills and experiences to help students manage mental health and stay in school.
In addition to its focus on personal development, Airtel Uganda has made strides in improving the digital learning experience.
The company has connected 129 schools across the country to the internet, supporting the Education Digital Agenda and narrowing the knowledge gap. This initiative provides students with access to a range of educational resources, empowering them with the skills needed to thrive in a digital world.
“As we celebrate the outstanding PLE results, we reaffirm our commitment to shaping the minds that will build Uganda’s future,” said Mr. Soumendra, Managing Director of Airtel Uganda.
“We believe that every child deserves access to quality education, and we are proud to play a part in bridging the gap. Our support for education initiatives is unwavering, and we will continue to partner with initiatives that unlock the potential of Ugandan children.”
