This exploratory study focuses on the gains and challenges met in the implementation of the Uganda ECD teacher training framework. Data were obtained using questionnaires and interviews from principals and tutors of ECD teacher training institutions (n = 106) who participated in a framework familiarization workshop. Results indicated some gains in use of the framework, while other areas still need more support for it to be effectively implemented. Major challenges were found in institutional management and administrative set ups, tutor competencies, and trainee assessment. The article concludes with specific recommendations for technical assistance to promote effective implementation of framework so as to produce better ECD teachers in Uganda.enAssessmentEarly childhood development teacherEducationTeacher training curriculumTraining frameworkArticle
