Among the key five sub-themes of UPE (right to education; equity in education; inclusive education; quality education; and Lifelong learning), equity in education has remained the most elusive and, contrary to the popular belief that education is the greatest social equaliser, there is no empirical evidence that universal schooling creates equity.
In view of that, the Reading Association of Uganda (RAU), in conjunction with
its African umbrella organisations - the International Development Committee in Africa (IDC-A) and the International Literacy Association (ILA) - will host literacy researchers, policy makers, sociologists, multilateral partners, curriculum specialists, literacy educators to a forum of experts to share evidence- based findings, practices and policies that interrogate the role of literacy in bridging the equity gap.
