Youth Agricultural Education

Teacher Guide Development and Teacher Training

Alongside our training development partner, Vivayic Inc., Field of Hope has been working to develop all-inclusive and interactive teacher’s guides for secondary agricultural education that deal with all phases and forms of agriculture. As most education practices in Uganda rely on rote memorization, our guides meet the country standards and include hands-on and project-based learning for students. The goal of these guides is to inspire and excite students about agriculture as an industry and a career and to demonstrate the best practices of successful agricultural businesses.

Not only are we investing in students through this initiative, but we are also working to professionally and personally develop the teachers who teach them. Teachers receive these guides at no cost and are invited to two trainings each year that allow them to learn innovative teaching practices, practice these hands-on methods, and grow their professional network. What started with three teachers in northern Uganda has grown to include over 350 teachers all across the country in a matter of five years. We look forward to the continued growth and dissemination of Teacher Guides!
