Abstract
This study is entitled Physical resources and pupils’ enrollment in primary
schools in Olilim sub-county, Otuke district, Uganda. It was based on four
objectives namely; to determine the profile of respondents; to determine the
level of physical resources in Olilim Sub-County primary schools; to determine
the rate of pupils’ enrollment in Olilim sub-county primary schools; and to
examine the relationship between the level of physical resources in Olilim sub
County primary schools and the rate of pupils’ enrolment. A total of 115
respondents from eleven schools participated in the study. The study
employed a descriptive survey design and an expost-facto design. Data was
analyzed using computer programmes like Microsoft Excel and SPSS, and was
presented in frequency tables and means. The findings revealed that majority
of the respondents were male (64.3%); the majority were grade III teachers
(61.7%) and majority (58%) had served in the current schools between 0-3
years. As for the level of physical resources, it was found out to be
satisfactory (mean, 1.88), the rate of pupils enrolment was found to be high
(54.78%); and there was no significant relationship between the level of
physical resources and the rate of pupils’ enrollment. It was recommended
that parents, non-Governmental organization and other stakeholders should
work hand in hand with the government to provide the schools with more and
better physical resources.
