Bridge Parent Survey in Uganda

4 April 2017

92% of parents satisfied with Bridge International Academies

New survey results reveal that 92% of parents are satisfied with Bridge International Academies following research conducted with Ugandan parents. The key findings indicate the strong support Bridge has from those who have children attending its schools in Uganda.

Over 85% of parents have been so impressed with the education being delivered to their children that they have recommended their school to a friend. 95% of parents said that they were proud to send their children to Bridge when questioned.

The survey also revealed 93% of parents say that teachers are always in class with their children. This contrasts the high level of absenteeism in the Ugandan education system, which currently stands at 56%.

The survey reinforces Bridge’s commitment to all parents to continue to hold the highest level of education through delivering well researched content that will enable children to pass their exams and build them into better citizens of Uganda.

Bridge is currently delivering education to over 12,000 children in 63 academies across Uganda.

Notes to Editors

The strong parent survey results come as Bridge continues to work closely with the Ugandan government to resolve any remaining concerns about Bridge schools.

The survey was conducted by Bridge International Academies in November 2016 with 487 parents who have children at Bridge schools in Uganda. The survey was based on questionnaires answered by parents via telephone interviews.
