Over the reviewed period, there was relative gradual improvement across gender in the number of
girls within each successive cohort of pupils that enroll in P.1 and successively reach P.5 in the last
three years. Out of 1,712,420 (male 859,343; female 853,077) pupils who started P.1 in 2005, 60 % (male
61.8%; female 60.9%) successively reached grade five in 2009 as compared to 53.3% in 2008. In 2012,
the survival rate was 59% (male 58%; female 60%). Results show that more females successfully survive
to grade five as compared to males. However, the target of 100 percent survival rate to grate five is
not likely to be met by 2015 given the current gap of 41 percent (male 42%; female 40%).

Year
The completion rate influences a country’s level of literacy and numeracy as well as the level of
development of the education system. Completion rates for primary education remain below the
desired target of 100 percent. Figure 4.36 below shows Uganda’s Primary Completion rate for the last
eleven years;

Uganda’s primary completion rates stagnated between 2006 and 2008. In 2009, only 52% of the
children completed primary seven. Since then, the completion rate has been improving steadily. In
2012, the completion rate improved by 3%age points from 64% in 2011 to 67% (68% male; 66% female)
in 2012. Based on studies conducted in Uganda and else were in the world, enhancement of financial
support to ECD would result into improved completion rate and perhaps meeting the desired 100
