4.5.6 Gender in Education
The Education and Sports Sector policy thrusts focuses on achievement of the three objectives of; i)
Improved equitable access to education ii) Improved quality and relevancy of education at all levels,
iii) Improved effectiveness and efficiency in delivery of the education services.
As a result of the above focus, various interventions have been instituted which aim at breaking the
barriers that impede the Girl­child education at all education levels. Gender disparity has been a
characteristic of Uganda’s education system not until 2008 that relative parity was realized at Primary
Education level in terms of enrolment (49.9% Girls & 50.1% Boys). In the year 2011, the Sector still
registered equitable access by both girls and boys in primary education with 50.1% girls and 49.9%
boys. However disparity still exists at the other levels of education.
