School Challenges

The Ugandan Education System has gone through turbulent times. Many problems have been encountered in the delivery of education services and attempts have been made to provide solutions. To a certain extent, the solutions have created more challenges as exemplified below:

Pre-Primary and Primary

Universal Primary Education was put ill place to solve the problem of limited access to primary education. Enrolment increased from 2.9 million pupils to 8.8 million pupils. 

While the access problem was solved, the following challenges were more created again.

                               i.            Classrooms shortage

                            ii.            Inadequate instructional materials

                         iii.            Shortage of teaching staff

                         iv.            Declining achievement levels

                           v.            Enrolment of the under aged children in primary one. Since these challenges begin at the lowest level it will be a continuous trend through all levels of our education system in Uganda and Luuka District in particular where we operate from.
