| Summary: | Uganda suffers from substantial school
infrastructuregaps, which need to be addressed to better
serve the student population. Due to ambitious goals for the
education system and rapid population growth, the number of
children in primary and secondary school isexpected to
nearly double overall by 2025 versus the size of the
education system a dozen years earlier. This dramatic
expansion will require building new schools apart from
improving/expanding existing ones.This note focuses on two
topics related to schoolinfrastructure and construction. The
first part of the note provides a rapid diagnostic of the
state of school infrastructure today in Uganda. The second
part of the note discusses implementation challenges in
school construction by looking at the lessons that can be
learned from the experience of the Universal Post Primary
Education and Training (UPPET) Adaptable ProgramLending 1
(APL 1) Project, in terms of the selection of the schools
for investments and design as well as procurement
challenges, costs and delays. |
