Connecting Schools, Teachers and Learners Across Arua District & City
Arua District and Arua City, situated in the West Nile sub-region of Northern Uganda, serve as the commercial, educational, and cultural hub of the region. Arua shares international borders with the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to the west and national boundaries with Yumbe, Adjumani, Amuru, Nebbi, Zombo, and Maracha districts.
In the education sector, Arua stands out as a regional leader with an extensive network of over 437 learning institutions, including 105 nursery schools, 261 primary schools, 60 secondary schools, 2 BTVET institutions, 3 tertiary institutions, and 3 teacher training colleges, alongside Muni University—the premier public university in West Nile.
Through its educational technology initiatives supported by the Uganda Communications Commission (UCC/UCUSAF) and the Ministry of Education and Sports, KAWA actively supports digital literacy, teacher development, computer lab sustainability, and student innovation clubs across Arua.
