Foundations for All is a university access programme designed to bridge the gap between disrupted secondary education and tertiary education. The programme aims to prepare students from disadvantaged backgrounds (including refugees and displaced people) for the academic demands of undergraduate university study. Aimed at bright and driven potential university students who have limited access to high quality educational materials, it offers an integrated programme that combines preparation in English language, which follows on from RLP’s existing English curriculum, mathematics, digital skills, study and critical writing skills, and an emphasis throughout on integrated psychosocial support. The main focus for the pilot was on learners who wished to pass the Makerere University Mature Entrance Exam to go on to higher education study in Uganda. The pilot programme was also intended to benefit those who wished to apply for scholarships and undergraduate study elsewhere, and expanding this will be a focus for future iterations of the programme.
