Decentralization of Secondary Education in Uganda (Paperback)

Over the last decade, decentralization of service delivery especially in education, health and agriculture has been seen as the way to go for effective democratic governance. Consequently, many developing countries have decentralized primary education in a bid to achieve this goal. However, whereas even some national constitutions or Local Government Acts in principle decentralize education below the tertiary level to Local District Authorities for example, in Uganda, the decentralization of secondary education is still a huge challenge to many countries.This book explores the challenges faced by both local and central governments in the decentralization process and suggests feasible solutions to the major challenges. The book challenges secondary education stakeholders including policy formulators, planners and education practitioners to decentralize secondary education for easy access and management.
