Worst UPE districts put on ‘drip’
Joseph Miti
Bukedea
The government has launched a Shs88.5 billion project to improve the quality of
education in 12 pilot districts that have been performing very poorly in the
Universal Primary Education programme.
Education Minister Namirembe Bitamazire said the Quality Enhancement Initiative
project (QEI) will better the education quality in the 12 districts. “The QEI
project will enhance funding, improve staffing, upgrade physical infrastructure
and increase learning materials,” Ms Bitamazire said last week while launching
the project in Bukedea District.
Besides Bukedea, the other beneficiaries are Amuru, Oyam, Bududa, Buliisa,
Kyenjojo, Lyantonde, Mubende, Kaabong and Nakapiripirit.
“We are going to apply oxygen, drips and extra care on them (districts) to
improve their education quality,”Ms Bitamazire said. The Netherlands government
will contribute 22m Euros towards the programme.
