Abstract
The study Investigated People's perception on Civil War and Children's Education
in northern Uganda.
The study had specific objectives among which were:-
(1 )To examine the effect of the civil war on children access to enrollment in Pabbo
IDP camp.
(2)To assess the effect of the civil war on children's retention in schools in Pabbo
IDP camp.

The study was carried out in Pabbo IDP camp, Gulu District.
The study involved 50 respondents and key informants.
The study was descriptive in nature. Data analysis was done manually.
The study found out that: - (i) Enrolment of children was negatively constrained by
abduction of children. (ii)The UPE programme in Uganda has no effect on the
enrolment of children with disability. (iii)The study denies that there is equity of
access to primary. (iv) Children retention in school was negatively influenced by
the low financial activities and environment. (v) The management of school is
paralyzed by the insurgency. (vi)There is a significant gap in early childhood
education programme.
It was along these findings that certain recommendations were made : (1) - The
Ugandan ministry of education work with the districts and sub districts in the
north, as well as the communities, to provide funds for the "Extras" that keep
children out of school .. (3) - Supply of trained teachers should be rapidly increased
to cope with the demand for quality education in IDP camp.
