dc.description.abstractThe study investigated the role of extended families in improving education in rural areas of Goma Sun County, Mukono District. The following objectives guided the study; to investigate the role of extended families in helping family members (children) acquire necessary skills and knowledge in various activities in order to produce self-reliant individuals. To investigate whether extended families could be used to restructure the present curriculum so that practical work is emphasized in order to produce job creators. Findings show that the researcher established that all children who were staying in extended families were being taught various skills such as fetching water (mostly), rooking after the young ones, digging in gardens, fetching firewood. Further finding showed that some few adults from extended families helped to mold the behavior of the children under their care. Some of these adoptive parents however saw importance in this practice. Findings also showed that majority of the teachers tied to provide practical activities to learners during class days, almost all teachers claimed that they offered agriculture as a subject at school. However fewer teachers claimed that they offered agricultural as a subject at school. However fewer teachers agreed that they made provision for community service and neither did they concur that they invited resource people to school. Recommendations were made Hke the government needs to sensitize the population about the importance of work and its fruits and benefits. The curriculum has to be restructured to accommodate even these practical and moral activities. l the government through focal council leaders should sensitize all people specially those living in extended families about their roles in restructuring the present curriculum.en_US
