All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy is a proverb. It means that without time off from work, a person becomes both bored and boring.

The Schools for Schools program emerged from Invisible Children Uganda’s overarching goal to help rebuild the standards of secondary education in northern Uganda.

Two decades of war in Northern Uganda has devastated the standard of education in northern Uganda, previous to this conflict, Northern Uganda schools were among the top Ugandan schools in performance in exams and sports but today there is not even one school from the entire region in the top spots.

The lack of attention given to secondary schools has made the pursuit of higher education even more difficult for students and teachers. Invisible Children recognized this gap and was determined to help reconstruct the former top government registered secondary schools across the districts of Gulu, Amuru and Pader in northern Uganda.

Schools for Schools is one of the largest-scale projects to date addressing the North’s need for improved learning environments and a greater investment in secondary education.
