Reach families at the moment they choose.

Praecip is where Ugandan parents go to decide. Sponsored placement puts your school in front of them while they are still comparing, clearly labelled, editorially supervised, and reserved for schools we have verified.

Where you can appear

Four placements, all where parents are already looking.

Rankings & league tables

A sponsored slot at the head of the school-rankings tables, clearly badged "Featured", never mixed into the ranked rows. Your position on merit is untouched.

Region & district pages

Top-of-page placement on the district and sub-region pages families browse when they search close to home, Buganda, Western, Eastern, Northern.

Compare-tool sidebar

A single "You might also consider" card beside the shortlist comparison, shown only to parents already looking at schools in your tier and curriculum.

Parent newsletter

A sponsored feature in the fortnightly parent newsletter, open intake, an admissions evening, a new A-Level stream. One school per send.

The firewall

What advertising can and can't buy.

A directory parents trust is the only thing worth advertising on. These three rules sit between the money and the editorial, and they are not negotiable, for any school, at any spend.

  1. I.

    Advertising never moves the verdict.

    Editors who write school verdicts and the 12-axis ratings cannot see who advertises. Buying placement changes where you appear, never what we write about you.

  2. II.

    Every sponsored slot is labelled.

    A "Featured" or "Sponsored" tag rides on every paid placement, in the same type size as the surrounding content. Parents always know what they are looking at.

  3. III.

    Only verified schools may advertise.

    You must hold a claimed, verified profile before you can buy placement. We do not sell visibility to schools we have not been able to confirm exist and operate.
