My Distance from Home to School

This is a project that analyses the effects of long distances students walk from home to school and how it affects their studies. This project mainly focuses on upcountry students who walk long distances they walk from home to school.they face so many challenges and this explains why we have do such a project. In Uganda, like in many African countries, especially in rural areas schools are located in distant places hence contributing problems such as early school drop outs. In some cases even the same occurs in urban areas. In this project, students will write essays, draw pictures, make discussions all explaining the problems they face and how they affect their studies in terms of performance in class and in sports.the essays will be given to the officials in the min. of education and even iEARN members to give us more solutions to the identified problems.
