A new report has shown that only two per cent of Ugandan adolescents have the ability to solve some of their daily life problems.

These are the ones who are able to recognize the existence of a problem from multiple perspectives and understand that there may be multiple solutions to evaluate and select from.

The Uganda study targeted a total of 11,074 adolescents aged 13-17 years, from 7,815 households across 400 enumeration areas in 20 districts was conducted by Assessment of Life Skills and Values (ALiVE), an initiative of the Regional Education Learning Initiative (RELI).
