Abstract
This study was carded out in Rubaga division of Kampala city with an intention to
determine and identify the outstanding challenges of Universal Primary
Education in Uganda, while reflecting some selected government aided primary
schools in Rubaga division as an Illustrative example.
On this note, all other authors’ works similar to this particular study were revisited
and this formed the basis of the researcher’s review of related literature. A
descriptive survey design was employed since the whole study was about
explaining a scenario, an event or occurrence. In the process of data collection,
questionnaires and interview guides were employed after which data was
analyzed and presented in percentages and frequency distribution tables. The
findings from the study revealed that among the outstanding challenges to
Universal Primary Education included; uncongenial home environment, dull
curriculum, inadequate trained teachers, overpopulation, financial resource
mismanagement, poor government monitoring and supervision, limited number of
schools, cultural practices, lingering insecurity and inadequate physical facilities.
It was recommended in this study that government funding and monitoring &
Universal Primary Education in the area of study be revisited and the need for
curriculum review to suite both the interests of the government and those of the
learners.
