The government’s financial inadequacy  and low number of secondary teachers is  affecting the implementation of the  universal secondary education .

This was disclosed by the minister of state for Higher Education Dr John Chrysostom Muyingo.

Dr. Muyingo said that the rise in enrollment of USE students has not been matched with government secondary school facilities and teachers due to limited financial support.

He said that inadequate USE schools has caused overcrowding in classes which limits effective learning.

Dr. Muyingo says that government is consulting private secondary school to work together for the success of USE.

USE progamme was started in 2007 to accommodate the UPE students and since then 599,659 students have enrolled in USE schools.
