Our School is located in Uganda. Nice to see you!School History
Adesso Primary School is located 5km from Kumi Town, in Eastern Uganda. It is a state run school of about 900 pupils ranging from 4 to 16 years old.
The school is staffed by fifteen teachers including the headmaster. Classrooms are very basic they do not have windows or doors and have only recently been shuttered to protect them from wind and rain. Desks, books and other learning materials are in short supply. The pupils work tirelessly to keep the school grounds clean and tidy though cutting the football ball field with scythes is a big job.
Class sizes are very big ranging from about 60 in the top year to 170 in the lower year groups. This means that resources are very stretched and need replacing frequently. It also impacts on exam results. Each year the top class (Year 7) sit the exam to graduate into secondary school. Presently only a handful will get sufficient grades to progress.
