Educational Challenges in Uganda.

The following are some of the challenges faced in the Ugandan education system;

·         High enrolments against limited facilities.

·         Low transition rates across the system

·         Inadequate and poorly trained teachers.

·         Gender imbalances.

·         Providing education to children from disadvantaged communities.

·         HIV/AIDS, which has caused death of pupils, teachers and parents with trauma and stigma associated with HIV/AIDS also affecting learning programmes.

·         Armed conflict/insurgency, especially in North/East Uganda, which has caused instability and displaced families, hence hampering education programmes

·         Prohibitive cultural practices and attitudes, mostly affecting girls.
