Abstract:
Existing literature asserts that there are continuing challenges towards the
implementation of Universal Primary Education (UPE) in Uganda which include:
inadequate capacity for effective accountability of financial resources; inadequate
basic infrastructure; inadequate community support; limited communication
amongst stakeholders; poor school management and poor teacher management. This
article will examine the challenges within the management framework encountered
during the implementation of the Universal Primary Education in order to assist via
better comprehension of the nature of the Universal Primary Education policy in
Uganda. Specific focus will be placed on the planning and organising challenges
which hinder the successful management of Universal Primary Education in Uganda,
and suitable solutions to the planning and organising challenges will be proposed
in an effort to enhance the successful implementation of the Universal Primary
Education in Uganda. The results generated from this article could contribute to
the knowledge of the educators on the planning and organising functions and also
forecast policy outcomes and probability for policy makers on the implementation
of UPE. This in turn could contribute to the realisation of the second Millennium
Development Goal by 2015.
