Changing perceptions around corporal punishment in Uganda
Mission of the project
Mission of the project
The overall goal of this project completed in 2021 is that children receive a better quality of education resulting from Teacher Training College Tutors proving Trainee Teachers with skills in best practice in classroom management and positive discipline teaching methods.
Overview: This training programme was developed with the assistance of six Ugandan teachers who had learnt positive discipline methods during their training at St. Augustine’s PTC but saw that corporal punishment was rife in schools when they entered employment. The VMM positive discipline training programme was adapted from ‘Good School Toolkit’ materials from Raising Voices, a Ugandan NGO that works toward the prevention of violence against women and children, and promotes violence-free schools. Since the VMM positive discipline pilot, the VMM child safeguarding team has been carrying out this positive discipline programme in Uganda, Kenya and Malawi. This has happened with the support of our growing network of local positive discipline trainers, District Education Officials and teacher training colleges. AMV will be implementing this programme in all the Ugandan Teacher Training Colleges over the course of one year.
