Uganda vs Angola
Side-by-side comparison of how these places approach childhood.
Uganda
Uganda has the world's youngest population, with half its people under age fifteen.
With a median age of just 15.7 years, Uganda's children are literally the majority of the country, shaping every aspect of society.
Angola
Angola's children grow up in Africa's second-largest oil producer, yet half live in poverty.
Vast oil wealth coexists with deep child poverty, creating one of Africa's starkest inequality gaps visible in every classroom.
Uganda
Uganda follows a 7-4-2-3 system inherited from British colonial education. Primary school is seven years with instruction in local languages for the first three years, then English. Universal Primary Education was introduced in 1997, eliminating fees.
Angola
Angola follows a 6-3-3 system with Portuguese as the language of instruction. Primary education is free and compulsory for six years. The system was rebuilt after 27 years of civil war that ended in 2002.
