Abstract

right to education of the girl child under Universal Primary Education (UPE) in Entebbe
Municipal Council. The study objectively sought; to identify and review relevant human
rights instruments that protect the right to education, to find out how the home
environment affects the girl-child's right to education under Universal Primary Education,
to establish the School environment factors that are a barrier to the girl-child's right to
education under Universal Primary Education.
Data were collected mainly through the use, questionnaires. The study involved a total of
50 respondents that is; Head teachers, female teachers, male teachers, parents, Municipal
leaders and Pupils were sampled, these were all involved in the school's activities at
different levels.
The study found that, there are many children in UPE schools in the country, but to a
greater extent girls are viewed as failures to a greater extent because of negligence of the
government to sponsor the programme in time and ensuring the right to girl child
education is given a special attention in primary schools. Because in order to understand
the challenges of protecting and promoting the right to education of the girl-child under
Universal Primary.
In conclusion, it was asserted that the teaching of learners in schools under UPE
programme is not being carried out as it should be in many schools. It is proved beyond
reasonable doubt that teachers face a lot of challenges while handling these children.
Finally, a number of recommendations were suggested that; teachers should constantly be
encouraged to be prepared for the good of the pupil they teach, not for pleasing the head
teachers, they should, therefore, envisage the various procedures as valuable. So, regular
boost courses and workshops should be planned, organized and conducted for teachers
regardless of their experience and inspectors of schools at the district and national levels
should update their knowledge, teaching methods and practice were suggested as
presented in chapter five.
