Power Teachers for Learning
We work with Ministries of Education and partners to support teachers’ transformation into Power Teachers. We use proven best teaching practices and motivation focused teachers support strategies. The teachers we work with become power teachers.

Power Teachers for Learning Model



We have begun work with the Ministry of Education and Sports (MoES) Uganda. We are currently developing a low-cost administration light mobile phone based incentive and professional development App, which we will use to incentivise teachers intrinsically and financially:

  • to teach all their classes every day,
  • to improve learning outcomes, and
  • to complete professional development activities.

The technology tools will develop teachers’ capacities to use evidence based teaching practices that improve learning outcomes, as well as motivate them to teach all their classes effectively. The App will include a suite of MoES approved digital teaching courses. Once the App has been developed, refined and finalised, we will use the Power Teachers model to work with the headteachers and all the teachers in selected government schools, as well as district inspectors and in-service teacher educators.


To inform the refining of our model and the development of the App, in 2025, we piloted our Power Teachers for Learning model in a primary school in Eastern Uganda, working with 31 teachers (21 female), 1,777 children (1,020 girls), the headteacher, parents, community members, district, and MoES officials.

An independent baseline and endline conducted by UWEZO highlighted the success of our model in reducing teacher absenteeism, increasing teacher motivation, enhancing community engagement, and improving learning outcomes. Power Teachers increase Children's English Literacy 11.5x, Local Language 4x, and Mathematics Achievement 4x.
