Abstract

This study examined the role of education support provided by the Anglican Church in enhancing education levels in Bweranyanyi Deanery, West Ankole Diocese, Uganda. Employing a cross-sectional research design, data were collected from 232 respondents using questionnaires and interviews with church leaders. Quantitative data were analyzed through descriptive statistics while qualitative data underwent thematic analysis. The findings revealed that the Church’s educational initiatives increased school enrollment, improved education quality, and enhanced access for marginalized groups. The study concluded that the Anglican Church plays a pivotal role in fostering education development and recommended expanding educational interventions and strengthen partnerships with government and other stakeholders to sustain education socio-economic progress.
