Abstract

In this study, the authors investigated the extent to which the management strategies intended to curb the spread of the deadly coronavirus impacted the implementation of educational programs in Tororo District, Uganda. The objectives of the study included (1) determining the levels of implementation of education programs in Uganda during the COVID-19 lockdown, (2) determining the extent to which COVID-19 pandemic management strategies were effective in preventing COVID-19 spread in Uganda, and (3) exploring factors other than COVID-19 pandemic management strategies that affected the implementation of education programs in Tororo District, Uganda. It used a simple random sample of 202 teacher participants. The results indicated low to high levels of effectiveness of the pandemic management strategies and a generally low mean level of implementation of the educational programs. Other factors that affected education programs during the COVID-19 lockdown were also identified. Implications for policy and practice were discussed.
