Is it good to be back to school in Uganda?

Some schools in Uganda have been closed for nearly two years due to Covid. This week, they were back in the classroom after one of the world’s longest school closures.

In March 2020, Uganda closed all its schools as part of measures to deal with the pandemic.
Some students hadn’t been back until they reopened on Monday.
Others had been able to return for just a few weeks last year.
So, are Ugandan students excited to be back in the classroom?
And what challenges are they and their teachers facing?
