Uganda's push for EdTech risks widening educational inequality due to lack of infrastructure in rural and low-income areas, with only 20% of secondary schools having reliable electricity, devices, and internet. Key stakeholders call for investment in shared digital infrastructure, teacher training, and curriculum reform to equip youth with practical skills and ensure equitable access.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Ugandan education founders must address infrastructure gaps or lose large rural markets as government digitisation risks excluding poorly connected schools immediately. Shared devices and targeted teacher training open a path to rural inclusion and market differentiation.
