Uganda, 15. The youngest
country, the poorest continent.
Uganda is the youngest country in the world, with
a median age of only
15. The number of pupils increases by more than 1
million every year.
Every year, the government has to create more than
1 million openings
in schools, in order to achieve one of UN’s development
objectives:
the access to universal primary education.
Once primary education became compulsory and
primary school was free,
schools in Uganda crowded with millions of
children for which
education is the only chance for a better life.
But what does
education mean in a country where children have to
walk daily for
hours to fetch water, where diseases such as
malaria and HIV/AIDS
wreak havoc, and war and famine are current
realities? Does it deserve
so many sacrifices? Does it really ensure a better
life?
Uganda, 15 was produced in the spring of 2009,
when the small film
crew led by the journalist Marian Voicu crossed
Uganda in a 10-days
marathon trying to answer these questions. And
beyond Africa, the film
is also a challenge to the Romanian public to
reflect on the issue of
education in Romania.
