The potential benefits of having Internet connectivity to Uganda schools are enormous. There would be the likelihood to offset the shortage and lack of variety in teaching-learning materials across rural schools. A majority of VSAT schools, which number no more than 13 are located in rural communities in Uganda. However, it should be noted that even while the VSAT stations are located up country, they are in urban centers rather than deep in the villages. Extending Internet Connectivity in less advantaged schools hopefully would help in addressing the rural-urban imbalance in academic performance.
