Geraldine Namirembe Bitamazire (MP) Minister of Education and Sports Hon. Peter Teko Lokeris (MP) Hon. Gabriel Opio (MP) Hon. Charles Bakkabulindi (MP) Minister of State for Minister of State for Minister of State for Primary Education Higher Education Sports 1 Mr. F.X. K. Lubanga Permanent Secretary, Education and Sports 2 FOREWORD Hon. Geraldine Namirembe Bitamazire (MP) overnment of the Republic of Uganda continues to commit increased resources to the education sector to achieve equitable access to quality education for all Ugandans. GThrough Sector Wide Budget Support and with the collaboration of Development Partners, the education sector is implementing reforms to consolidate the gains so far made at all levels and to enhance quality, efficiency and growth in the system. Following the successful implementation of Universal Primary Education, UPE over the past ten years, 1997 to date, the sector reforms have targeted improvement of quality and efficient management and utilization of resources. A Thematic Curriculum for P1-P3 was launched this year, 2007 and preliminary reports indicate a degree of success in terms of stimulating learning among the children. Mother Tongue as a medium of instruction was adopted to facilitate learning and acquisition of literacy skills at the early stages of the children’s school career. The Primary Teachers Education Curriculum is also under review to ensure that the teachers acquire relevant pedagogical skill for implementing the curricular reforms at primary level of education. Diagnostic studies and surveys have been conducted to identify the policy and implementation gaps in the UPE programmes that need strategic interventions to achieve the stated medium and long term objectives in the global EFA and MDG Covenants. A draft Education Bill 2007 has been discussed by Cabinet, and it is now before Parliament pending enactment. The Bill makes primary education compulsory and makes general provisions for policy, regulation and control of the education sector at National and at Local Government levels. At the Post-Primary Education and Training level (PPET) Government introduced Universal Secondary Education (USE) this year and 155,000 had enrolled in USE secondary schools by March 2007. A public private partnership model was adopted where 355 private secondary schools are implementing the USE programme under a bursary scheme. The USE policy is targeting the bright but needy children especially those in the rural remote communities and districts. With increased access to equitable quality education at the Post primary level the country will address issues of poverty and will achieve competitiveness in the emerging knowledge based economic regimes. The policy is also targeting imparting of knowledge and skills to facilitate the macro economic development programmes in the public and private sectors. The Secondary School Curricular Review is already under way to address the relevancy and quality of education at that level and to achieve cost effectiveness in the implementation 1 strategies. The UPPET policy covers Business, Technical, Vocational Education and Training (BTVET) where young boys and girls after primary seven programme are enrolled to take certificate courses leading to direct entry into the labour market. A total of 46 Government Vocational Education and Training institutions are participating in the program and by March 2,626 students had enrolled. The private sector providers of BTVET have also been brought on board under this programme. Over the FY 2006/2007 Government continued to prioritize education as a strategy towards the transformation of society and the improvement of people’s quality of living. A total budget of Ug. Shs. 683.63bn (excluding direct donor support of shs. 37.21 bn) representing 17.6% of the Government expenditure was allocated to education, compared to Ug.Shs.609.14bn/- during the FY 2005/06. The increase in the sector ceiling under budget support arrangement but excluding direct donor support facilitates the implementation of the reforms and programmes listed above. At the Tertiary and University levels, some moderate expansion has been achieved especially through the growing participation of the private sector in offering education and training at that level. There are now over fifteen private Universities and five Public Universities including Busitema University which opened on 3rd October 2007. The sector will soon finalize the re-costing of the ESSP 2004-2015. The need to provide adequate funding to the sector cannot be over emphasized. However, measures to improve the quality of the teaching and learning processes at school levels are being reviewed focusing on improving the learning outcomes by the pupils and students. The improvement of the training of teachers and their

Sunday, April 3 @ 7 PM Zellerbach Theatre Part of the African Roots, American Voices series. 15/16 Season 45 ABOUT THE ARTISTS Johnny Clegg is one of South Africa’s most celebrated sons. He is a singer, songwriter, dancer, anthropologist and musical activist whose infectious crossover music, a vibrant blend of Western pop and African Zulu rhythms, has exploded onto the international scene and broken through all the barriers in his own country. In France, where he enjoys a massive following, he is fondly called Le Zulu Blanc – the white Zulu. Over three decades, Clegg has sold over five million albums of his brand of crossover music worldwide. He has wowed vast audiences with his audacious live shows and won a number of national and international awards for his music and his outspoken views on apartheid, perspectives on migrant workers in South Africa and the general situation in the world today. Clegg’s history is as bold, colorful and dashing as the rainbow country which he has called home for more than 40 years. Clegg was born in Bacup, near Rochdale, England, in 1953, but was brought up in Zimbabwe and South Africa. Between his mother (a cabaret and jazz singer) and his step-father (a crime reporter who took him into the townships at an early age), Clegg was exposed to a broader cultural perspective than that available to his peers.
