The state Minister for Primary Education Joyce Kaducu launches the high level dialogue on Universal Education in Uganda during the commemoration of international day on education in Kampala. The program was introduced in 1997 with the aim of empowering children from the poorest families with basic knowledge [writing and counting ] to better their lives. Unfortunately, in 2023, the lord Mayor of Kampala Erias Lukwago wanted to ban the UPE from Kampala district due to their bad performance. This is not yet executed due to lack of prove from authority.

However there are many challenges affecting the education sector in Uganda for example the lack of reading materials in schools for example books, enough reading space, lack of enough teachers and many others.
