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.
