The Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted in 1948, states that "everyone has a
right to education". The World Conference on Education for All (EFA) held in Jomtien,
Thailand in 1990, sparked off a new impetus towards basic education. It noted, "That to
serve the basic needs for all requires more than a recommitment to basic education as now
exists. What is needed is an expanded vision that surpasses resource levels, institutional
structures, curricula and conventional delivery systems, while building on the best in the
practices".
Since independence in 1962, the Government of Uganda has had a commitment to expand
the education system to enable greater access to the population. This has been in response
to a number of concerns, among them the desire to combat ignorance, disease and poverty;
and the belief that every Ugandan child has the right of access to basic welfare provisions,
including education. Thus the government undertook the obligation to provide its citizens
with the educational opportunity in order to take part fully in the socio-economic and
political development of the country and to attain a decent standard of living. The policy of
the Uganda government to achieve Universal secondary Education has to be seen within
the wider international context
The Amman Mid-Decade Review of Education for all (1996) reaffirmed the commitment
to the Jomtien resolutions. It observed that the provision of basic education, especially for
girls, has remained elusive in many less industrialized countries
