This study is part of a multi-country research initiative investigating teacher management in refugee settings, being undertaken by UNESCO’s International Institute for Educational Planning (UNESCO-IIEP) in partnership with Educational Development Trust (EdDevTrust) and with the support of a number of international funding bodies around the world. The research initiative aims to contribute to the burgeoning body of research that focuses on teachers in refugee settings and to provide evidence-informed policy solutions to support ministries of education respond to the call set out in the Incheon Declaration and Education 2030 Framework for Action to:
“ensure that teachers and educators are empowered, adequately recruited, well-trained, professionally qualified, motivated and supported within well-resourced, efficient and effectively governed systems.”

The main research objectives for this case study are to:
• To identify current international, regional, and national policies that guide the Ugandan Ministry of Education (MoE) and partners in the management of teachers in refugee settings;
• To build an understanding of who is teaching refugees at the primary-level in different settings and how they are managed in practice; and
• To identify potential areas for further policy development to support effective teacher management in refugee settings.
