UGANDA EDUCATION STATISTICAL ABSTRACT 2009

FOREWORD
n our continued efforts to provide quality
Education, information has proved to be a major
resource.
This resource is used to assess the
performance of the sector against set targets, and
facilitates the formulation of informed policies and resource
mobilization among others. The Education Management
Information System (EMIS) is the tool, which enhances data
collection, processing and dissemination and makes
information readily available in a timely manner.

The information included in this publication is part of the data gathered from the Annual
School Census 2009 exercise conducted in June 2009 for the Pre-primary, Primary,
Secondary, Post-primary, Tertiary and Non-formal sub-sectors and from other sister bodies
like UNEB.
I wish to thank all stakeholders who have played various roles in making the publication of
this abstract a reality. Special thanks go to the members of Education Funding Agencies
Group (EFAG) who apart from contributing financially also contribute technically in form
of quality assurance. My thanks also go to our field officers, the District Education
Officers/Inspectors, Head teachers and the ministry technical team on whose shoulders
the burden of quality and timeliness of data lie.
It is worth noting that the comments you make on this abstract will improve our
subsequent publications. Further the co-operation from all the stakeholders as established
in the past will help nurture and improve further our Education Management Information
System (EMIS).

UGANDA EDUCATION STATISTICAL ABSTRACT 2009

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Ministry of education and sports gathers information on a yearly basis. In 2009, data on
schools was collected and analyzed together with data on childrens performances obtained
from UNEB as indicated in the findings.
The summary of key findings from the 2009 Education statistics presented by subsector as
follows;
a) Pre-Primary Schools

There were 2,469 pre-primary schools (all were private schools) that responded to the
2009 ASC.

The total enrolment of pre-primary was 157,002 (76,590 male and 80,432 female)
pupils, a tune of 51.2% female.

7,177 teachers (1451 male and 5726 female) were captured in pre-primary in 2009.

The highest percentage (32%) of pre-primary schools was located in the central
region.

The least percentage (1%) of pre-primary schools was located in the northern region.
b) Primary Schools

There were 17,127 primary schools (12305 Government Aided and 2822 Non
Government) that responded to the 2009 ASC.
The overall enrolment in all primary schools was 8,297,780 (4,150,037 males and
4,147,743 females). While government aided schools had a composition of 7,185,584
(3,595,831 male and 3,589,753 female) pupils.
Overall, in all primary schools, the gender parity gap was closed at 50% for both boys
and girls.
A total of 168,376 (100,264 male and 68,112 female) teachers were registered in all
primary schools, with a gender imbalance of 59.5% in favour of male teachers.
126,286(76,802 male and 49,484 female) teachers were registered in Government
Aided schools.
With regard to convenience in class sitting, a total of 5,404,763 pupils had adequate
sitting and writing space giving a proportion of 65% of the total enrolment at national
level. The northern region had the smallest proportion of pupils with adequate sitting
and writing space with only 50%.
Despite the policy of automatic promotion in primary schools, a repetition rate of
12.2% was registered, with the rate being highest in the northern region at 17%.

UGANDA EDUCATION STATISTICAL ABSTRACT 2009

LIMITATIONS OF DATA
The data is faced with non responses in some of the schools. Therefore not all schools were
reported in the figures as reflected in Table 1. Responses to the census were received from
pre-primary schools, primary schools, secondary schools, non-formal schools/institutions and
post-primary institutions as indicated in the Table 1.

The tables that follow in this abstract give an estimate of the total pupils in each district
calculated using the response rate for that district and based on the above response rates. It
is not possible to produce all of the tables included in this abstract on this basis, but these
however will give a context to those making use of the data.
1. Some of the tables in the abstract present subsets of schools. Combining these will not
necessarily give the totals shown in the summary table due to the incidence of unknown
values. For example combining the tables showing enrolment in government, private and
community owned schools does not give the total enrolment, as some schools did not
provide information about their ownership and hence are only included in the summary
table.
2. The age data supplied may to a less extent have some misreporting since the primary
source of data is the head teacher (Principal Respondent) who may not be very conversant
with the correct ages of some of their pupils. In addition, age data records in most of the
homes where pupils come from are very inadequately managed.
3. The definitions on school location were structured in reference to facilities and
geographical location. But in practice the characteristics appear different yet they qualify
for different geographical location. Categorization of locations by head teachers was
difficult since the terms apply differently and are relative in meaning.

Key Aspects of Government Education Policy

1.1.10.1 Universal Primary Education (UPE) Policy


The Education Policy Review Commission (EPRC) recommended that Universal Primary
Education (UPE) be achieved by the year 2000 for the children aged 6-10 (for the first five
years), and for the entire primary cycle by the year 2010. The policy objectives of providing
UPE include: -

Establishing, providing and maintaining quality education to promote national human


resource development;
Making basic education equitable, accessible and relevant to the nation; and

17

UGANDA EDUCATION STATISTICAL ABSTRACT 2009

Ensuring that education is affordable to the majority of Ugandans.

1.1.10.2 Secondary and Tertiary Education Policy


With regard to secondary and tertiary education, government policy is to increase cost
sharing by shifting boarding costs onto beneficiaries. Government has equalized capitation
grants for boarding and non-boarding schools, thereby shifting boarding costs to beneficiaries.
Government overall expenditure in the education sector is to shift increasing resources to
Universal primary Education.
1.1.10.3 Business and Vocational Education Training Policy (BTVET).
The current government policy on technical education and Vocational Education Training
(BTVET) aims at: Introduction of changes necessary to create a favorable environment for industrial

EDUCATION MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM

The annual education census exercise allows the Ministry of Education and Sports to collect
all the necessary information about education in Uganda. This information is used as an input
to the planning and monitoring of the provision of quality and relevant education to
Ugandans. It is intended that the census should address the information needs of all
stakeholders.
In its efforts to improve on the timeliness, accuracy reliability and availability of information
to various users, the Ministry of Education and Sports, in 1999, embarked on the design and
implementation of a sector Educational Management Information System (EMIS) in which the
district would be the focal point. The Ministry contracted M/S AED/African to design and
implement EMIS both by developing the necessary software and re-engineering practices and
procedures. Decentralization of data processing in the EMIS has not taken off yet despite
numerous efforts by the districts and the central government because of infrastructure
constraints. However, a lot has been achieved in terms of data gathering and the struggle is
still on. (Alluta Continua).

2.1

Methodology

In an effort to decentralize the data gathering, processing and utilization to districts District
Education Officers, District Inspectors of Schools and Education Officers/Inspectors of Schools
in charge of counties and school head teachers were intensively involved. Regional teams
were dispatched to undertake intensive training in each district. This is part of the plan to
decentralize EMIS through capacity building.
2.2

Data Gathering

Ministry of Education and Sports first organized a workshop to train the data collection team.
When the team was set off to the field, other workshops were held at the districts where all
head teachers of a given district converged and discussed the questionnaires and were also
trained on how data was to be collected or filled by the head teacher. The mode of data
collection used was self administered post-mail questionnaire and following the routine
respondent training the EMIS technical team carried out, the questionnaires were then
distributed to schools, accompanied by detailed sets of instructions manuals. These
instructions covered all major definitions, the process, the responsible agents and the
expected length of time for each major step.
Questionnaires were administered to school heads through the DEOs for the Annual School
Census. After the questionnaires were administratively filled, they were returned to the
Ministry Headquarters. Data was then entered in web based software (stat-educ designed by
UNESCO Institute of Statistics). Data was cleaned and analysis done using SQL server 2005.
Reports were generated by OLAP cubes (online software) from where enrolment figures were
obtained.
Population figures were officially requested from UBOS.

UGANDA EDUCATION STATISTICAL ABSTRACT 2009

2.3

Data Validation

EMIS carried out verification exercises as sample studies to verify the accuracy of data
provided by school heads in the census questionnaires. Following this model, questionnaires
and instructional manuals for the census 2009 were designed and circulated for comments,
and the comments were applied in the refinement of instrument development. District
training workshops for the past three school census exercises have included direct
participation of school head teachers to optimize the impact of training.
2.4

Data Processing

Data entry was done by data entry clerks hired to specifically input data under the
supervision of the EMIS technical team in Ministry of Education and Sports. Before data
capture, ED*ASSIST software was used to track schools/institutions in the main school
registry. During data entry only questionnaires without errors were entered and incorrectly
filled questionnaires were either referred to respondents or edited by MOES staff. This was to
ensure that the quality of entered data was high and to limit the time spent on data cleaning

PRIMARY SUB-SECTOR STATISTICS

4.1

School Particulars

Since introduction of UPE policy in 1997, government has steadily increased its share of
primary schools through construction of new schools using the Schools Facilities Grant (SFG)
scheme as well as extending grant aid to community and private schools.
4.1.1 Primary Schools by Ownership
According to the MoES database there are 19,877 primary schools on the schools register
however, only 17,127 (86%) schools responded to the 2009 school census and out of those
that responded, the majority (71.9%) were government schools, 22.9% were private
schools and 5.2% were community schools.
Note: 14% of the 17,127 schools had estimated data. Thats to say that they responded in
2008 but never responded to the 2009 Census and therefore to be consistent a
replacement method was applied and 14% are reflected to have had estimated data.
Figure 4: Primary Schools by Ownership

4.1.2 Schools by Location and Registration Status.


Considering other school attributes, the majority of primary (73.8%) schools were located
in rural areas. In terms of registration, 75.8% of primary schools were fully and officially
registered by the ministry of Education and Sports as illustrated in figure 5 below.

4.1.3 Distances from DEOs office and schools of similar characteristics


In terms of distance between the DEOs office and schools, 86% of primary schools were
within a radius of 50kms, 12.8% were in a distance of more than 50kms and 1.2% did not
report their proximities in relation to DEOs offices. This pattern shows that the DEOs
office has to be well facilitated (transport and man-power) for it to reach out and do
effective schools inspection because of a sizeable number of schools that were very far to
reach. It even becomes worse for head teachers to go to district offices when they are
physically required at the DEOs office.
Considering distances between schools of similar levels, at national level 84.8% of primary
schools were within a radius of 5kms from their neighbouring primary schools contrary to
the 7% schools who were within a distance of more than 5kms from similar neighbouring
schools.
4.1.4 Primary Schools by Boarding Type
Most of the primary schools (86%) were day schools while only 1% of the schools were
found to be full boarding schools. This is in line with the UPE policy of all primary schools
under UPE to be day schools. However, 7% were partly boarding and this was mainly for
the candidate class as they prepare them for Primary Leaving Examinations.

Primary Enrolment

4.2.1 Enrolment in primary schools by Ownership


A total enrolment of 8,297,780 pupils (4,150,037 male and 4,147,743 female) was
registered in 2009. Of this enrolment, government aided schools took a proportion of
86.6% with a total enrolment of 7,185,584 (3,595,831 males & 3,589,753 females).

4.2.2 Primary Enrolment by gender and grade


Considering enrolment by gender and grade, the gender parity gap has tremendously
reduced with 50.01% of the total enrolments in all primary schools being boys and 49.99%
girls (thats to say 50.0:50.0). The bulk of pupils were in the lower classes especially
primary one as reflected in figure 8 below.

In general the percentage distribution of pupils by class was 23% for Primary 1 (P1), 16%
for Primary 2 (P2), 16% for Primary 3 (P3), 15% for Primary 4 (P4), 13% for Primary 5 (P5),
10% for Primary 6 (P6) and 7% for Primary 7 (P7). There were drastic declines in enrolment
between P1 & P2 and P6 & P7 and these were attributed to high repetition rates caused
by under age children in primary 1 and pupils in pre-candidate class not deemed fit to sit
for end of primary cycle examinations. This is however contrary to the automatic
promotion policy. Out of the total enrolment, primary one (P1) had the majority share of
23% (1,946,318 pupils) with 1,698,944 as new entrants.
Results from figure 8 above show that there was a sharp drop from primary one to primary
two and thereafter a gradual drop in enrolment from lower to higher classes. This is an
indication that a significant number of pupils abandon school before completing primary
seven. However, for all classes there wasnt a significant difference between the number
of boys and girls abandoning school.
4.2.3 Primary Enrolment by Region
Enrolment figures by region indicate that the Eastern region had the highest percentage
share of enrolment in all primary schools with 28.1%. The central region had over 22.9% of
total enrolment, followed by the Northern region with 21.3% whereas the North Eastern
region had the least share of only 1.7%.
With regard to government schools, still the eastern region had the highest enrolment
with over 29.9% of total enrolment in government aided schools. The northern region
followed in this case with 23.4% while the central region shared 19.5% of the enrolment.
The North eastern region had the lowest share of 1.5%.

Despite the existence of the automatic promotion policy in primary schools (especially
government aided schools); repetition rate is still high in primary schools at over 12.2%. A
class analysis on repetition shows that the rate of repetition is highest in P.1 at 13.5%
followed by P.6 at 12.9%. The high repetition in P.1 is connected to underage pupils,
whereas for P.6 is due to pre-candidates deemed unfit to sit end of cycle exams.

SECONDARY SCHOOLS STATISTICS

The key commonly used indicators of statistics include; Students information, School
information, Teacher information and Infrastructure information.
Secondary education is provided through a network of 3149 (949 government schools and 2,
200 non government schools. The percentage share of government funded responding schools
(both fully and partially) contributes 39.4% of the total secondary schools.
Overall, there was an increase of 4% in the number of schools responding from 2,908 in 2008
to 3,149 schools in year 2009. There are also a very small number of international schools that
deliver foreign curricula.
Rural based secondary schools account for 42.3% of the total number of schools. Most of the
private schools are found in urban areas. The introduction of Universal Secondary Education
(USE)/Universal Post Primary Education and Training (UPPET) in 2007 increased school
enrolment (S1 S6) by 25% from 814,087 in 2006 to 1,194,454 students in 2009, with girls
constituting 45.7% of the total enrolment.

Secondary school information

5.1.1 Secondary Schools by Ownership


According to Figure 16, out of a total of 3,149 secondary schools covered in the 2009
Annual Schools Census, 58% were private, 12% were community and 30% were Government
aided. Overall there was an increase in the number of schools responding from 2,908 in
2008 to 3,149 schools in year 2009, an increase of 4%. This increment is due to the
positive response of the private schools which constitute the biggest percentage.

Enrolment in Secondary Schools

5.2.1 Enrolment in Secondary Schools by Grade and Gender


A total enrolment of 1,194,454 students was registered in all secondary schools with 54%
of the enrolment being male students. Analysis on enrolment by grade showed that the
bulk of students were in lower classes. There is a sharp drop from senior three to senior
four which can be attributed to students deemed unfit to sit for end of O Level national
examinations. Further to note, there is a sharp drop between senior four and senior five
which indicates that a considerable number of students are unable to pursue advanced
level secondary education.
In general, the percentage distribution of students by class was 24.8% for S.1, 23.4 for S.2,
21.6% for S.3, 16.2% for S.4, 7.3% for S.5 and 6.7% for S.6.

5.2.2 Enrolment in Secondary Schools by Region


A regional analysis on secondary schools enrolment showed that the central region had
the largest share of enrolment with 35.9% of the total enrolment. This was followed by
the eastern region with 24.8%, western with 16.9%, northern with 12.0%, south western
with 9.0% while the north eastern region had the least share of 1.4% of the total enrolled
secondary schools students.
With regard to government owned schools, a regional analysis on enrolment share showed
the almost the same pattern with the total enrolment in government aided schools being
550,631 students (contributing 46.1% of the total enrolment). These constituted a gender
imbalance of 56.7% in favor of male students.

POST PRIMARY SUB-SECTOR STATISTICS (P.7 + S.4 ENROLLING


BTVET INSTITUTIONS & PTCS)

A number of government-aided, private and community based institutions that offer


education at post primary level exist in Uganda. These include institutions that offer Business,
Technical and Vocational training (BTVET) as well as Primary Teacher Colleges (PTCs).
Education in this sub-sector has been boosted by the introduction of Universal Post Primary
education and training (UPPET) in the year 2007, where some institutions have partnered with
the government in driving this program (UPPET) to a success.

located within a distance of less than 10 km from the DEOs office. However, it can be
noted that over 52.5% of the schools were located within a range of over 10km from the
DEOs main office. This implies that the district education office needs to be well
facilitated for it to carry out effective inspection due to the sizeable number of schools
that are far located. A small percentage of 3.6% schools distance from the DEOs main
office was unknown.

6.2.3 Students Age distribution in Post Primary Schools


Considering the display of results in Figure 22 below, the distribution of students ages in
post primary institutions takes more of a normal distribution over the age under
consideration, with the majority of students aged 20 years of age at 17.5%. However
considering what would be the official schooling age range in these institutions (i.e. the
after P.7 & S.4 enrolling) which is 13 to 19 years, the results show that this age range
takes a minimal percentage of 41.1%, overage takes 58.5%, whereas the least 0.4% of the
student population are underage.

6.3.1 Teacher Education Levels
Distribution of teachers by education levels indicated that the highest percentage of
teachers (39.3%) were certificate/diploma holders at O level, followed by
certificate/diploma holders at A level (17.4%), while graduates composed of 16.9% of the
teachers. Taking certificate/Diploma attained after O level as the minimum acceptable
teacher education level, results show that 78.9% of the teachers had attained the
minimum, while over 5.7% of the teachers education level was unknown.

6.3.2 Teachers by Gender and Student Teacher Ratio


A total of 3,170 teachers were registered nationally out of which 22% were female
teachers. A regional distribution of teachers indicated that the Eastern region had the
highest percentage of teachers (26.6%), followed by the central region (23.4%) whereas
the North Eastern region had the least percentage share of teachers (3.0%).

55

UGANDA EDUCATION STATISTICAL ABSTRACT 2009

Student Teacher Ratio (STR) which gives an indication of contact between students and
teachers in a classroom was calculated and results tabulated as shown in Table 4.5 below.
The lower the ST the higher the chances of contact between teachers and students and
therefore the better. Nationally STR of 12 was realized, implying that one teacher is
available for every twelve students in a class.

region (15). However, at district level there was considerable variation in STR from 4 to
34.
6.3.3 Teacher Departures and Causes
Analysis on Teacher departures shows that majority departures were within the sub-sector
with over 49.5% of departure cases registered as teacher transfers to other government
aided institutions. Possible complete teacher leakages from the sub-sector are alarming at
over 38.0% of the entire teacher departures registered. This is evidenced in
retirements/deaths rated at 15.8%, departures without notice at 13.5%, transfers to nonteaching posts at 3.3% and departures based on other reasons at 5.3%. Departures
attributed to further training were rated at 12.5%.

Water Sources in Post Primary Schools

Analysis on school water usage indicate that majority of schools (35.8%) of those that
responded, used piped water as the main water source, followed by those that used boreholes
at 32.1% whereas lakes/rivers had the least usage by schools at 2.7%. other sources included
well/spring (rated at 15.0% usage) and Rain water tanks (11.8%) while over 1.1% of the
schools didnt indicate their main sources of water.

NON FORMAL SUB-SECTOR STATISTICS

7.1

School Particulars

The Government of Uganda is committed to providing universal primary education to children


within the formal and informal education system. Non formal educational programs were
initiated to provide education to those hardest to reach, the poverty stricken and unstable
home environments, rural areas where schools are inaccessible, girls, and those who perceive
few benefits in attending school. Among other programs offering non formal education in
Uganda are; Complementary Opportunity for Primary Education (COPE), Alternative Basic
Education for Karamoja (ABEK), Basic Education for Urban Poverty Areas (BEUPA) and ChildCentered Alternative, Non-Formal Community-Based Education (CHANCE).
7.1.1 Schools Ownership Status
Results from the 2009 Annual Schools Census show that out of the 359 non formal training
schools covered, over 91% were government owned while community founded schools
comprised 8% and the least percentage (1%) were owned by NGOs.

Figure 35: Non Formal Schools by Ownership Status

7.1.2 Schools by Founding Body


Their was a slight percentage share difference in the schools founded by the community
and the government, with the former having a higher lot of 37%, while government
founded share being 36%. Centers founded by NGOs comprised 26% while the remaining 1%
of the centers was founded by other non stated founding bodies.

58

UGANDA EDUCATION STATISTICAL ABSTRACT 2009

Figure 36: Non Formal Schools by Founding Body

7.1.3 Schools by Funding Source


With regard to school funding, the highest percentage of non formal learning centers were
being funded by the government (over 92%). This is inline with government efforts to avail
universal education in all the government owned non formal learning centers. NGO funded
schools comprised 6% of the total while community funded schools were 1%, with the
remaining 1% of the schools funding status unknown.
Figure 37: Non Formal Schools by Funding Source

Pupil Enrolment

7.2.1 Enrolment by Gender and Study Groups


Results from the 2009 Annual Schools Census indicate that a total of 33,601 learners were
registered in all non formal schools, with a gender imbalance of 54.6% in favor of girls. The
bulk of learners were noticed in lower learning groups, and this took a declining pattern
over the study groups as observed in Figure 5.4 below.

59

7.2.2 Age Distribution in Non Formal Sector


Unlike the other formal education subsectors (e.g. primary, secondary and tertiary) with
official entry ages in the first grade of the education cycle, there are no age specifications
in non-formal education. However, analysis on pupil enrolment by age indicated that the
bulk of enrolment reduced with age, in that the largest percentage of pupils (43.4%) were
aged 10 years and below, 15.9% were 11 year olds, 12.8% were 12 years, 9.1% were 13
years, 7.4% were 14 years while the remaining 5.8% were 15 years and over.
Figure 39: Percentage Distribution of Age in Non Formal Sub sector

7.3

Repetition in the Non Formal Sub sector

Like the enrolment pattern, the absolute number of repeaters was higher in lower study
groups and had a declining pattern over the study groups. However, the repetition rate did
not have a regular pattern, being highest in the final group at 15.6% and lowest in group 4 at
7.7% as illustrated in Figure 40 below. The overall repetition rate was 11.6% in 2009.

7.4

Dropouts

Census results show that a total of 4,745 learners in non-formal education had dropped out by
the year 2009. Most of the dropouts were due to lack of interest in the education system with
over 27.6% of the dropouts admitting so, 15.5% of the dropouts had been hindered by family
responsibilities, 11.5% were due to marriages, 10.0% were due to occupation by petty trading,
7.2% were due to pregnancy while illnesses contributed to 6.1% of the dropout cases. Cases of
dismissal due to obedience and fees limitation contributed to minimal percentages of 0.6%
and 0.9% respectively whereas the remaining percentage of dropouts had other reasons other
than the listed reasons.

the teachers were certificate holders, followed by diploma holders at 3.9%. Grade V
instructors comprised 2.7%; 1.5% were graduates while the least percentage of only 0.1%
were post graduates.

7.5.2 Teachers and Pupil Teacher Ratio


Results on teachers show that the 673 teachers registered in all non formal schools gave a
pupil teacher ratio of 50. This implies that on average, every 50 learners were being
attended to by one instructor. However, there were wide variations in PTR at district
level with the lowest PTR (most advantaged) being 20 in Nakasongola district and the
highest (worst) being 149 registered in Kotido district. Other worse off districts with a PTR
of over 70 pupils per teacher included Kaliro district (139) were only one teacher was
registered, kaabong (115), Masaka (96), Arua (72) and Maracha-Terego (70).
7.6

Sanitation
7.6.1 Accessibility to Toilet/Latrine Stances
Analysis on accessibility to toilet facilities indicated that on average 53 learners were able
to have access to a toilet/latrine stance at national level. However, accessibility varied
greatly across districts with Kalangala district being the most advantaged with 1
pupil/learner per stance while Kotido district had the worst position of 395
pupils/learners per stance. Other districts that had a high ratio of learners to the
available stances (of over 100) were Moroto (148) and Kaabong (125).
7.6.2 Water Sources
With regard to main water sources accessed by schools/learning centers, the highest
percentage of 54.1% was boreholes. These were followed by wells/springs at 16.0%; piped
water usage was rated at 12.3%, lakes/rivers at 10.7% with rain water rating lowest at
4.0%.

8.0 COMMENTS ON KEY INDICATORS EDUCATION STATISTICS


8.1

PRIMARY SCHOOLS
8.1.1 QUALITY INDICATORS

Quality indicators include Pupil Teacher Ratio (PTR), Pupil Classroom Ratio (PCR) and
Pupil Textbook Ratio (PBR). Efficiency indicators provide a picture on the
learning/teaching classroom environment in terms of overcrowding, pupilteacher
contact, and availability of learning/teaching materials. For all these indicators, a lower
value leads to reduced levels of overcrowding or reduced competition for classroom
resources and implies better learning conditions.

8.1.1.1 Pupil Teacher Ratio (PTR) all Primary schools


PTR gives an indication of contact between pupils and teachers in a classroom. If it is
lower, then there are high chances of contact between a teacher and pupils and teachers
will have enough time to check homework and class work. In other words the lower the
PTR the better. Although the targeted PTR for 2009 was 49 in all schools, 57 was the value
actually realized for Government schools and 49 for all schools.
This means that although there maybe variations among individual schools and
districts, nationally the government has hit the recommended ideal pupil teacher ratio
of 1:49 overall and this puts a great landmark on the education attainments.
At regional level, the central region had the lowest PTR of 39 in all schools, followed by
the Western (40) whereas the Northern region was the worst performing with a PTR of 64.
At district level PTR varied greatly from 27 to 112 with Kampala (27), Wakiso (28),
Kalangala (32), Mbarara (33), Rukungiri (34), Lyantonde, Mityana, Nakasongola and Ibanda
(36) having the lowest (best) values whereas districts of Kaabong (93) and Kotido (112) at
the bottom of the list. Kalangala district composed of islands in Lake Victoria had a
relatively low PTR because it has the lowest population and enrolment. Its also true that
Rakai district with Pupil Teacher Ratio of 41 was among the best districts because since

64

UGANDA EDUCATION STATISTICAL ABSTRACT 2009

1986 it was used as a pilot district for many projects (i.e. a lots of donors and NGOs
presence), which created an enabling school environment for both pupils and teachers.
Mbarara (33), Wakiso (28) and Kampala (27) also have good PTR values because they are
predominantly urban or peri-urban places and tend to attract and retain more teachers
compared to other districts.
Kaabong (93) and Pader (76) are new districts and became operational after 2004 and
were probably among the ten worst performing districts perhaps because they inherited
the less developed and harder to reach areas of their parent districts. However, of late
they have registered improvement in their PTR Value standings as compared to the
previous year 2008. This may be attributed to teacher incentives like the hard to reach
allowance given to teachers in such areas. Districts of Kitgum (74), and Pader (76) were
among the ten worst districts because of insecurity caused by prolonged rebel activities in
the northern region and due to the fact that teachers do not want to be deployed in those
districts. Nakapiripirit (70) and Kotido (112) also a fairly new district ranked among the
last in respect of PTR due to insecurity caused by the Karamajong warriors.
8.1.1.2 Pupil to Classroom Ratio (PCR) Govt Primary schools
In 2009 PCR of 78 was actually realized in Govt schools and 68 in all schools. At district
level, PCR varied from 28 to 135. Kalangala district had the lowest (best) PCR of 28 and it
was the only district whose PCR was less than 30. Mbarara (47) and Rukungiri (48) were
the other districts with a PCR less than 50. Amongst the worst performing districts were
Kaabong and Koboko (127), Maracha-Terego (135).
8.1.2 ACCESS INDICATORS
These measure a proportion of pupils attending school compared to school going children
in the population. They include Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER), Net Enrolment Ratio (NER),
Gross Intake Ratio (GIR), and Net Intake ration (NIR). Because of population dynamics,
they are usually very difficult to determine accurately. In case of Uganda they have been
on the high side due to a combination of problems in enrolment and low population
projection estimates. However, 2002-population census final results released were more
precise and were used to compute the access indicators for 2009. Nationally the GER was
135.6, NER at 107.9, GIR at 167.5 and NIR at 73.1
8.1.2.1 Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER)
The GER at primary level in all schools was 135.6, regardless of age, a proportion of all
pupils in primary schools (P1- P7) to the total numbers of children aged 6-12 years in the
population. This implies that there were children who were outside the 6-12 age bracket
in school. This was possible because some kids joined primary one when they are not yet 6
years old and others although still in primary school, were actually more than 12 years old
because they repeated some classes or joined primary one when they were older than 6
years. Considering boys and girls separately, the GER for boys (136.0%) was slightly higher
than that of girls (135.2%) i.e. there were more boys attending primary schools compared
to girls aged 6-12 in the population than were girls.

65

UGANDA EDUCATION STATISTICAL ABSTRACT 2009

At lower levels (districts) GER varied from 45.5% to 231.43%. Kotido had the lowest
(45.5%) value followed by Moroto at 47.5%, then Moyo at 50.8% whereas Abim had the
highest GER of 231.4.
8.1.2.2 Gross Intake Ratio (GIR)
The GIR for primary schools is a proportion of children in primary one to the total number
of children aged 6 years in the population. GIR in all schools was at 167.5%. Since the
percentage was more than 100%, it shows there were some kids that joined primary one
when they were less than 6 years old and/or more than 6 years. The GIR fluctuated
between 64.4% (Moyo) and 334.6% (Sembabule) districts.
8.1.2.3 Net Intake Ratio (NIR)
NIR is the proportion of new entrants in Primary one aged six years to the total number of
children aged six years in the population. NIR in all schools was at 73.1% (with 71.4% for
male and 74.9% female). The value of NIR being less than 100 can as well be attributed to
existence of underage and overage new entrants in the primary sector as well as nonschooling children in the population who have reached the official primary entry age. With
the compulsory education for all children policy underway, NIR should be expected to
clinch to the desired 100%.
At district level NIR varied from 14.9% (Adjumani district) to 141.8 (Bukwo district).
Anomalies in some districts NIR (thats NIR exceeding 100) can be attributed to cross
border migrations (i.e. pupils from neighbouring countries) as well as pupil transfers
across districts.
8.1.3 SANITATION IN PRIMARY SCHOOLS

8.1.3.1 Pupil - Toilet Stances Ratio


Analysis on pupil accessibility to toilet facilities shows that on average a toilet stance
could be accessed by 42 pupils at national level. At regional level, the south western
region had the best pupil stance ratio at 33 followed by the central region at 35 with the
eastern region being the least advantaged with a pupil stance ratio of 53. However, at
district level there was significant variation in pupil stance ratio ranging from 15
(Kalangala district) to 92 (Kaabong District).

8.2.1.1 Student Teacher Ratio (STR)


STR gives an indication of contact between students and teachers in a classroom. If it is
lower, then there are high chances of contact between a teacher and students and
teachers will have enough time to check homework and class work. In other words the
lower the STR the better. An STR of 18 students per teacher was realized in all schools,
with the eastern region having the highest STR of 20 students per teacher, whereas the
western region had the lowest STR of 17. There was no much variation across regions with
other regions being; north eastern (19), south western (19), central (18) and northern
(18). However, variation across districts was significant ranging from 23 to 111.
In government schools however, higher values of STR were registered with the overall
student teacher ratio being 21.
8.2.1.2 Student to Classroom Ratio (PCR)
In 2009 SCR of 39 was actually realized in Govt schools and 35 in all schools. There was
no much variation in SCR across regions with the eastern region having the highest SCR of
37 students per classroom. At district level SCR varied from 11 (Dokolo district) to 86
(Kotido district).

8.2.3 ACCESS INDICATORS IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS


These measure a proportion of pupils attending school compared to school going children
in the population. They include Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER), Net Enrolment Ratio (NER),
Gross Intake Ratio (GIR), and Net Intake ration (NIR). Because of population dynamics,
they are usually very difficult to determine accurately. In case of Uganda they have been
on the high side due to a combination of problems in enrolment and low population
projection estimates. However, 2002-population census final results released were more
precise and were used to compute the access indicators for 2009. Nationally the GER was
28.2, NER at 23.8, GIR at 38.4 and NIR at 6.5
8.2.3.1 Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER)
The GER at secondary level in all schools was 28.2, regardless of age, a proportion of all
students in secondary schools (S.1- S.6) to the total population aged 13 19 years. This
figure implies that many children who are of secondary school going age are actually out
of school or some are in other post primary institutions. Considering boys and girls
separately, the GER for boys 31.2% was slightly higher than that of girls 25.4% i.e. there
were more boys attending secondary schools compared to girls aged 13 19 years in the
population than were girls.
At lower levels (districts) GER varied from 3.7 (Nakapiripirit district) to 56.7% (Mbale
district).
8.2.3.2

Net Enrolment Ratio (NER)

The Net enrolment ratio for all secondary schools was 23.8%. This indicator is age specific
and measures the proportion of students aged 13 19 years to the total population of the
same age range. The same figure implies that there are only 23.8% students in school of
the total population that would officially be in school at secondary level. Gender based
figures showed that the NER figure for boys 25.1% was slightly higher than that of girls
21.5%. At district level, NER like GER was lowest in Nakapiripirit (2.9%) and highest in
Mbale (44.7%)

UGANDA EDUCATION STATISTICAL ABSTRACT 2009

8.2.3.3 Gross Intake Ratio (GIR)


The GIR for secondary schools is a proportion of children in senior one to the total number
of children aged 13 years in the population. GIR in all schools was at 38.45%. Since the
percentage was less than 100%, it implies that the biggest percentage of school age going
population is actually not in school. GIR fluctuated between 4.8% (Kaabong district) and
80.8% (Bukwo).
8.2.3.4 Net Intake Ratio (NIR)
NIR is the proportion of new entrants in senior one aged 13 years to the total number of
children aged 13 years in the population. NIR in all schools was at 6.5% (with 6.0% for
male and 6.9% female). The value of NIR being less than 100 can be attributed to nonschooling children in the population who have reached the official secondary entry age,
and to a less extent existence of underage and overage new entrants in the secondary sub
sector. At district level NIR varied from 0.1% (Kaabong district) to 17.7% (Luwero
district).

9.1.3 Conditions of Sporting Facilities in Primary Schools


Analysis on the condition of sporting facilities in primary schools was done, and from the
results as illustrated in figure _ below, it can be observed that there were a considerable
proportion of facilities in poor condition. For instance, 31.7% of the fields, 36.1% (courts),
14.7% (swimming pools), and 31.8% (other sporting facilities) were considered to be in
poor conditions and therefore needed repair.

The pass rate in PLE was 85.5% in all schools and 84.4% in government aided schools. In this
case candidates who are considered to have passed score a minimum of division 4. However,
the performance index which rates performance in relation to grades (weighting grade scores)
was 52.5% for all schools and 50.2% for government aided schools. Analysis shows that boys
performed better than girls with a pass rate of 87.5% against 85.5% and performance rate of
54.6% against 50.3%.

11.2 Uganda Certificate Examinations (UCE)


A total of 216,332 candidates registered for national examinations to complete O level, out
of which 212,496 candidates (112,847 males against 99,649 females) were able to sit for the
final examinations (giving a sitting rate of 98.2%).
Distribution of divisional scores at national level showed that out of the candidates that sat
for the final examinations, 7.6% scored division one, 18.5% scored division 2, 27.0% scored
division 3, 42.4% scored division 4 while 4.4% of the candidates failed. This gave a pass rate of
95.6% (thats the percentage of candidates who scored at least division 4).

UGANDA EDUCATION STATISTICAL ABSTRACT 2009

Figure 51: Distribution of Divisional Scores in UCE at National Level

11.2.1 UCE Performance at Regional Level by Gender


Considering the pass rate (thats candidates attaining at least division 4), a national
average of 95.6% was realised with males performing slightly better than females with
96.5% against 94.6%. there was no much variation at regional level with the highest rate
registered in the western region at 97.0% followed by the central region with 96.6%.
Rates in other regions were; north eastern (95.1%), eastern (94.2%), south western (94.6%)
and the nothern region with the lowest had a pass rate of 93.4%. at district lavel, the rate
varied between 86.1% (Koboko district) and 100.0% (Moroto district).
A further indepth analysis on candidates perfomance that involved weighting divisional
scores showed that an overall perfomance rate of 45.7% was realized nationally (out of
the ideal perfomance where all candidates are expected to score division one). A gender
analysis on perfomance rate indicated that still males perfomed better than girls with a
perfomance rate of 48.7% against 42.2%. across regions, perfomance varied between
49.5% (for central region) and 40.4% (north eastern region). The perfomance index values
for other regions were; western (47.0%), south western (42.7%), 41.3% (eastern), and
41.1% (northern).

Results from UNEB showed that out of 98,131 candidates that registered for end of cycle
examinations for A level, 96,655 candidates (56,682 males against 39,973 females) were able
to sit for the examinations (giving a sitting rate of 98.5%). A percentage distribution of
candidates by performance based on principal passes obtained showed that; 21.6% of the
candidates obtained four principal passes, 20.6% obtained three principal passes, 20.3%
obtained two principal passes while 23.6% obtained 1 principle pass (denoted as 4P, 3P, 2P
and 1P respectively as illustrated in figure 52 below). Over 12.6% of the candidates scored
subsidiary passes while 1.4% failed (i.e. didnt score any subsidiary pass). This analysis
indicated that over 62.5% of the candidates were deemed eligible to continue with tertiary
education as recommended at national standards (thats a candidate having scored a
minimum of two principal passes)

UGANDA EDUCATION STATISTICAL ABSTRACT 2009

11.3.1 Regional UACE performance


Considering the candidates considered fit for further studies at tertiary level, over 62.5%
of the candidates performed to the set national standards (i.e. candidates attaining at
least two principal passes) with the percentage of male candidates being slightly higher
than that of female candidates at 63.3% against 61.2%. At regional level however, the
north eastern region registered the highest percentage of candidates considered eligible
for tertiary education with 69.8%, followed by the south western region (66.9%). Other
regions registered; western (65.5%), eastern (64.5%), northern (63.1%) and central with
the lowest 60.7%.
Further Analysis on UACE performance was done by weighting principal passes obtained by
candidates and an index of performance generated. A national performance index value of
53.1% was obtained with males performing slightly better than females with 53.8% against
52.1%. Performance rates didnt vary greatly across regions as they ranged between 57.1%
(north eastern) and 52.0% (central region). Performance rates for other regions were;
south western and western had 55.5%, eastern (54.1%), while the northern region had a
performance rate 53.0%.
