Rev Paul Kakooza the director of Education Church of Uganda said the some caregivers in the Early Childhood Centres are inadequately trained despite them having a big task of handling young learners.
The church also recommended that government makes changes in the current arrangement of deploying teachers and deploy them at stations near their homes.
This, they said, will help solve the problem of teacher absenteeism which is rampant in some areas.
They asked government to consider partnerships in inspection of schools noting that some schools spend years without being inspected which affects their performance.
