The objectives of the Post Primary Education and Training Adaptable Program Lending Project in Uganda are: (i) increase access to lower secondary education; (ii) improve the quality of lower secondary education; and (iii) enhance the enabling environment for post primary education and training. There are three components to the project. The first component of the project will increase access to lower secondary education through supporting expansion of school infrastructure. The second component of the project will improve the quality of lower secondary education through expanding the capacity of at least one national teachers' college; supporting the provision of in-service training to improve school management, accountability and pedagogical leadership; improving lower secondary schools curriculum, assessment and examinations; and supporting the acquisition of textbooks and science equipment. The third and the final component of the project will enhance the enabling environment for post primary education and training through developing an advocacy and communications strategy; supporting training to strengthen management, operations, financial management and national assessments; carrying out studies; and developing a strategy for the expansion of technical vocational and upper secondary education.
