Abstract
The study investigated the relationship between School Management and Universal Primary
Education Policy implementation in Koboko Municipality, Uganda. The study was guided by
objectives; to find out the relationship between planning and UPE policy implementation, to
measure the relationship between organising and UPE policy implementation, to determine the
relationship between staffing and UPE policy implementation , and to examine the relationship
between budgeting and UPE policy implementation. A descriptive survey research design was
employed in the study. The total population involved 189 respondents from the research area. A
questionnaire was personally administered by the researcher. The data was analysed using
frequency and percentage, mean and standard deviation. Pearson linear correlation was used to
establish the relationship between School management and UPE policy implementation in
Koboko Municipal primary schools. The results showed that there was positive relationship
between School management and UPE policy implementation(r=895; p<0.01).The study
concluded that the implementation of UPE was not all that effective because of inadequate
resources and facilities. In addition, human resource and instructional materials the government
is trying to supply are inadequate as a result of the growing population from the indigenous and
refugee children from Sudan. The government should try to capture population in Koboko
municipality over a period of time to estimate supplies adequately to schools and also request
UNHCR to play part in supporting the schools for effective policy implementation. In all her
efforts to implement UPE, involvement of school management at grassroots level to run schools
should be a priority.
