Following the introduction of UPE in Uganda in 1997, primary school enrolment increased tremendously, leading to a strain on existing teaching resources such as classrooms, teachers’ accommodation, toilets, teachers, chalk, and students’ furniture among others. The inadequacy of teaching resources partly attributes to the low quality of education in UPE schools as reflected in the Primary three and six pupils’ performance in literacy and numeracy. Accordingly, Government responded by increasing supply of teaching resources with the hope of improving the quality of education in UPE schools. | | Copyright Holder | Economic Policy Research Centre (EPRC) | | Copyright URL | http://www.eprc.or.ug | | Filesize | 557990 MB | | File Format | PDF | | [ View / download original document ] |
