| Abstract | While Uganda has implemented several education policies and programmes, learning outcomes at the primary education level remain dismal and below the national development targets. At the same time, household education spending has been growing despite the diverse income inequalities across regions, which continues to impede better learning outcomes at the Primary level. This paper, therefore, examines the determinants of learning outcomes in primary education (in grades three and six) with a specific focus on school governance and community factors. This study has employed a logit model that utilises regional dummies by time-fixed effects and clustering using school-specific registration numbers to deal with unobserved heterogeneity. Our study finds that faith-founded schools, the frequency of school inspections, pupil age, gender, school type (day or boarding), school location, region, frequency of School Management Committees (SMC) meetings per term and school ownership significantly determine proficiency in numeracy and literacy at the primary level. Based on the results, the study recommends promoting early school enrollment, prioritising boarding schools in government schools, and strengthening internal controls in schools. The finding of our paper is handy and will inform policy-makers by independently prescribing specific interventions at lower and upper primary. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
