| Summary: | In a bold effort to achieve Universal
Primary Education (UPE) by 2000, the Government of Uganda
decided in 1996 to remove primary school fees for up to four
children in each family (of whom two should be girls). The
World Bank supported this effort through an Education Sector
Adjustment Credit and Grant (ESAC). The ESAC was designed to
assist the government deal with the immediate challenges
arising from the UPE policy. The broad development objective
of ESAC was to ensure that the public resources needed to
sustain UPE were available and that there was improved
allocation and more efficient use of these resources. In
addition and critically for the Bank the operation was
designed to enhance the availability of quality inputs and
improve overall sector management. |
