The Committee observes that most of the expenditure provided wasmeant for predictable activities and didn't require a supplementary budgetif there was proper planning and budgeting. Funds allocated assupplementary above do not meet the requirement of unavoidable andunforeseeable as stated in the PFMAct 2015 section 25 (6).

The Committee recommends that the Ministry adequately plans andprioritizes to ensure that issues like salary are not handled assupplementary, adequate funding is also sought from the MFPED towardsthe sector to avoid this supplementary expenditure.

3. Sectoral budget estimates for FY2O19|2O and, medlumterm.

Table 3 below shows the estimates for Education and Sports Sector forFY2OI9 l20 and the Medium Term up to FY2O23124. There is a 3.8% increasein the overall budget of the sector from UGX 3,122,5obn to UGX 3,242.27bntn FY2OI9 l20 compared to FY2018/ l9.There are notable increases in thewage, non-wage and development components by 13.7o/o, 45.8o/o and 18.2o/o

respectively mainly due to the integration of .I.A due to the fact that starting

Key Observations and Recommendations.

1. SDGs. It is important to note that the votes under the Committee's purviewdirectly contribute to the attainment of SDG 4, on ensuring that alllearners can acquire an inclusive and equitable quality education. Thiswill help in promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all. Education isa fundamental human right and is indispensable for the achievement ofsustainable development.

2. Gender and Equity Compliance. Pursuant to the National Equal

committee onsidered the

ffi3

responsiveness of the different public universities and entities under thesector who performed at an average of.7O%o.

However, the certificate of gender and equity compliance of the differentMPSs for the different sectors for FY2OL9 120 that was tabled by theMinister of Finance indicated that Ministry of Education and Sports, SorotiUniversity and Uganda Management Institute had not submitted theirMPSs for assessment by the Equal Opportunities Commission forFY2OI9l20.

The Committee recommends that above mentioned entities get assessedand be issued certificates of gender and equlty Compliance by the Ministerof Finance.

3. Compliance with NDP II: An assessment of the Sector Compliance withNDP II revealed that there is still non-compliance in sector projects, BFPand annual budget. The key areas of noncompliance include the netenrolment ratios that have remained below the NDP II target that is, grossintake ratios (GIR) rising over and above 1507o which is an indication thatthe system is admitting more children in Pl that are either under or overage.Further still, fewer than targeted teachers' houses being planned forconstruction and the less than targeted number of infrastructure andparticularly classrooms are other areas of non-compliance. On the otherhand, at university ievel, access is stil1 constrained by non-compiiance interms of planning for less students accessing students loans for highereducation (i.e planned 3,454 viz NDP target 5,000).

With regards to skilling in mainly technical and vocational institutions,the NDP II requirement for a framework to integrate internationalstandardization and certification in the qualifications framework has notbeen complied with by the sector. It is however important to note that thisprocess has began.

The assessment further revealed that there were low absorption capacityfor the already little budget disbursements. The projects that had thelowest expenditure outturn included the National High-Altitude TrainingCenter at on l.7o/o, the skills development project at only 5.9%,Development of BTVET at only 560/o and the Albertine Region SustainableDevelopment project at only lO.4Vo.

4. Appropriation in Aid (AIAI, While interfacing with stakeholders, thecommittee was informed that AIA allocations were integrated within wage,Non-wage and development as one component in the budget for FY2O19 /2O.The Committee noted that the new policy in budgeting guided that with effectfrom FY2O19/20, al1 A.l.A would be collected and would be remitted to theconsolidated fund for integration in the MTEF and budgeted for like any otherresource the effect of which abolished the allocation and issuance of aseparate budget for AIA.

The Committee observed that some Universities were allocated AIA way belowtheir projected AIA for Fy21lg/2O. This will greatly affect the operations ofthe Universities. A case in point is Kyambogo Universit5r which had a targetof Ug. Shs. 93.87Bn as projected NTR collections for FY2019/20 but wasonly allocated Ug. Shs.77.21Bn. This was integrated in their wage andnon- wage component with no allocation to development. Gulu University,expected to collect AIA of Ug. Shs. 13.878n but Finance allocated themonly Ug. Shs.7.64Bn which is lower than their half year collections of Ug.Shs.8.65Bn.

The Committee sought a meeting with the MoFPED to get clarification overthis matter but the meeting did not take place.

The Committee recommends that Ministry of Finance halts the newpolicy and a thorough engagement with stakeholders be had. This willcreate harmony and will also go a long way in making the implementationof the policy convenient. The Committee further recommends thatallocations for AIA be made as per the projections of each Universit5r.

5. Dental School. The Committee observed with concern the continueddelays in the rehabilitation and equipping of the University dental school.This has always remained as an unfunded priority each financial with ameagre allocation of Ug. Shs. O.aBn (400M). The dental schools requires atotal Ug shs. 1.37Bn to be fully rehabilitated and equipped.

The Committee recommends that the funding of l.37Bn be spread intwo financial years. This therefore means that a total funding of 0.6858n(685M) will be required for the FY2OI9 l2O and the balance will be forFY2O2Ol2t.

'IThe Committee therefore recommends that a total of Ug. Shs. O.285Bn(285M) be reallocated from Vote 136 Makerere University - output 282Miscellaneous expenses towards the rehabilitation and equipping of thedental school as a top up on the Ug. Shs. 0.48n (400m) ide the

"./ required 0.6858n (685m).

6. Library Budget allocatlon. The Committee observed that all the publiclibraries hardly allocated 1o% towards the library function contrary to theUniversity and Tertiary institutions regulations, which stipulate that aUniversity should allocate at least lOo/o of the Universities total budgetexclusive of the wage component.Recommendation. The Committee noted with concern that the 10%requirement for the library function is stringent on the Universities' totalbudget and therefore recommends that it should be revised downwards toenable Universities realistically implement it.

7. Busitema University, The Committtee noted that Busitema University isunique because it's comprised of multi compasses based in Nagongera,Mbale, Pallisa, Arapai, Namasagali and Busiteema. Despite it being a multicompass, the University is grossly underfunded. The university lacksadequate infrastructure for lectures, administrative work and laboratories.Ug. Shs. 1.0788n allocated each year for development is insufficient totake care of all the deveiopment in the different compasses. The universityis further incapacitated by a lower staffing level of 16%. The Minister ofFinance sent a team to Busitema University to assess the state of itsinfrastructure and other challenges and indeed appreciated the need forextra funding and committed that the MoFPED would avail extra fundingin FY2OI9 l20 to support infrastructural development and the TechnologrBusiness innovation and incubation Center (TBIIC) which has developeda number of prototypes most of vrhich are designed and geared towardssupporting farmers to add value to their farm products.

The Committee recommends that hnance increases the developmentbudget for the University to at least Ug. Shs. 3.34Bn per year to cater forthe development requirements for all the compasses. The Committeefurther recommends that Finance allocates Ug. Shs. 1Bn each financialyear for the next three years as it had earlier committed towards thedevelopment of the TBIIC.

8. Roll out of the Lower Secondary Curriculum. The Committee wasinformed that a Syear costed roadmap for the roll out of the LowerSecondary Curricuium was developed by the sector and various initiativesare already under way to mobilize the required funding for preliminaryactivities in preparation for the roll out in January 2020. The Roll outrequires a total of Ug. Shs. 143,933,663,200 to facilitate the activities ofthe entire roll out.

However, due to the constrained resource basket, the sector was advisedto rationalize and clearly state how much it required to kick start theprocess. The proposed minimal financial requirements are as follows.

- National Curriculum Development Center, Ug. Shs. 16,640,l72,OOO- Teacher and Instructor Education Department Ug. Shs.

2t,920,235,021- Instructional Materials Unit Ug. Shs. 1,623,550,000- Uganda National Examinations Board Ug. Shs. 6,000,000

A total of Ug. Shs. 46,183,957,O21 is required to kick start the ro11 of theLower Secondary curriculum.

The Committee recommends the MoFPED urgently avails the sector withthe required Ug. Shs. 46 ,183,957 ,O2 1 for the ro11 out of the curriculum asthis has been pending for the last twelve years.

9. Salary enhancements for teachers. In the FY2O18119, a total of Ug. Shs.98Bn had been earmarked for salary enhancements for science teachersin secondary schools. The Committee in its wisdom recommended for thehalt of this process as it was discriminating against the arts teachers whohandle the bulk of the burden that comes with facilitating students duringstudy period considering that the majority of students in schools offer artssubjects.

The Committee was informed that a Cabinet Sub-Committee chaired bythe lst Deputy Prime Minister was constituted to study and review thespecial categories of public servants to be considered for enhanced pay,especially in the Health and Education Sectors, who were omitted duringthe implementation of Phase 1 salary enhancement that was approved byCabinet under Minute 502 (CT 2Ol7l and 509 (CT 2017), respectively.

The Sub-Committee in its report, approved Ug. Shs. 49,045,488,828 asadditional wage to the Education sector to address pay disparities asdetailed in Annex 1 attached. Each of the categories covers teaching staffin secondary schools/BTVET and TIET institutions. The salary distortionbetween science and non-science staff has been addressed in line with theapproved pay targets and Ug. Shs. 46,947,599,964 is required to addressthe distortions for staff in post. Ug. Shs. 2,097,888,864 is uiied tocorrect the disparities in the ongoing recrul ent.

\_ L.-/ii

ffi

The Committee therefore recommends that finance avails the Ug. Shs.49,045,488,828 required for the salary enhancements to be effected inFY2OI9 /20.

10. Projects transferred to the Ministry: The Committee notes that twoprojects, the Northern Uganda Youth Development Center and the UgandaScouts and Girl Guides Association, were transferred from the Office of thePrime Minister (OPM) and Ministry of Gender, Labour and SocialDevelopment (MGLSD) respectively to MoES without any funds allocated.This created a funding gap of Ug.shs. 2,54L,171,890 for the YouthDevelopment Center and Ug.shs. 4bn for the Scouts and Girls guidesAssociation.

The Committee recommends that MFPED allocates Ug. Shs. 6.541bn tofacilitate the functioning of these two programs as they were funded intheir previous entities.

ll.Poor performance of Biolory in UACE Exams. The Committee wasinformed that Biolory was the most poorly performed subject at UACE withthe board registering a 37 .8o/" pass level (A-E) of students in the justconcluded UACE exams. The board informed the Committee that noinvestigations have been conducted by the board to ascertain the highfailure rates by the students.

The Committee recommends that the board takes up this as a matter ofurgency and investigates the root cause of the high failure rates as Bioloryis a key subject given that government has an agenda of promoting sciencebased vocations.

12, The Need for Contiuuous assessment. The Committee noted theprevalent high failure rates, malpractices and leakage of exams in theannual examinations issued by UNEB over the past couple of years. Acritical look at Uganda's education system indicates that continuousassessment a1lows the teacher to focus on the teaching and learningprocesses and evaluate students, not over a long period of time, but on adaily or weekly basis making students get the intended learning outcomesand not just the grades.

The Committee noted that a number of issues are not put intoconsideration by UNEB while setting out exams for instance, students

py total strangers who have never taught them and yet

t

being mar

'@s1"'

effective assessment is based on prior knowledge about someone,sperformance. Further still, social challenges such as the loss of a parent,financial depressions, sickness and sometimes anxiet5r which makesstudents forget things out of fear during the exam period could affect theirperformance.

Additionally, a student's previous performance is not considered becausethis final exam sums up everything, which is not fair. In the end, teachersput focus on teaching students to pass UNEB exams which hasencouraged commercialization of education and cramming instead oflearning at the detriment of students.

The Committee therefore recommends that UNEB comes up with acontinuous assessment systems to fully assess a student's performancethroughout the seven years and six years at primary and secondary levelrespectively.

13, Lack of a Development Budget for NCDC.The Committee noted with concern that NCDC has for the past 10 yearsnot received any development funding. The Center has two projects thatwere approved in the PIP in 20 17 which included the infrastructuraldevelopment project costed at Ug. Shs. 28Bn and the retooling projectcosted at Ug. Shs. 6.974Bn. Both projects have never received funding.Lak of a development budget has also created audit queries like the lackof inadequate transport equipment to effectively handle entity operations.As per their vehicle utilization report, out of 11 vehicles, 9 are groundedand only two are in a fairly fl.rnning condition.

The Committee recommends that Ug. Shs. 3.9Bn be reallocated fromVote 013, MoES project 1435 retooiing, to the Center to fund itsdevelopment budget.

14. Recruitment of 22,OOO primary teachers. The Committee noted thatUg.shs. 132bn is needed in the medium term to recruit 22,OOO primaryteachers as highlighted in the sector budget stratery for FY2OL9 l2O.However, no funding has been allocated in FY2OL9 l20. The MoES's planfor the next Financial Year is 6,000 teachers at a cost of Ug. Shs. 36bn.

The Committee recommends that Ug. Shs. 36bn be provided to theMinistry of Education and Sports to kick-start the recruitment processof the 22,000 primary teachers as highlighted in the budget stratery.

15. Harmonization of Student scholarships and inadequate fuading ofthe Student loan scheme under the HESFB.The Committee observes that the Ministry has continuously andpersistently neglected the Committee's proposal to have all the resourcesmeant for higher education student's financing in a single basket underthe management of the Higher Education Students Financing Board asenvisaged under section 42 of the HESFB Act

The Committee therefore would like to reiterate its recommendation tohave all scholarships harmonized and put under the management of theHigher Education Students Financing Board for proper management andtransparency.

Further sti11, the Committee was informed that the board had a totalbudget estimate of Ug. Shs. 35.298n in FY2OI9 120 while the fundsavailable as per MTEF ceiling were Ug. Shs. 27.788n. The Committeenoted that with the MTEF ceiling, the board will only be able to sponsor1000 new students as opposed to the desired extra 2000 students. Theboard requires an extra Ug.shs. 7Bn in order to take on 2000 extrastudents at a unit cost of Ug. Shs. 3.5mi11ion in order to meet the target of3OO0 students.

The Committee recommends that a reallocation of Ug. Shs. 2.4Bn frornMoES recurrent non-wage to cater for part of the Ug. Shs. 7Bn shortfall.The Committee further recommends that MoFPED avails the board withthe balance of Ug. Shs. 4.68n needed to cater for the extra 2000 students.

16. Streagthening of Inspection of Schools at the LGs. The Committeenoted that the inspectorate function is very key for the effective functionof 1ocal governments in the education sector. The Committee was informedthat most local governments lack motor cycles for inspection and the fewthat are available are taken over by the district for other purposes notrelated to inspection. This is an indicator that the available transportequipment for inspection in local governments are not sufficient.

The Committee was informed by the MoES that 70 loca1 governments weregiven a waiver to purchase motor cycles for inspection using the schoolsfacilitation grant. Other local governments acquired motor cycles underphase 1 ofthe UTSEP project.

The Committee therefore recommends that the Ministry purchasesanother TOmotor cycles in tlne FY2O19 120 at a cost of Ug. 10 million eachfor the inspection function be strengthened and priority should be givento the local governments that do not have any transport equipment forinspection. The Committee further recommends that the Ug.shs. 0.78n bereallocated from Vote 013, Non-wage towards the purchase of the Motorcycles.

l7.Insufficient fundlng for Sports Associations. The Committee noted that theNationa-l Council of Sports supervises forty eight national sports associationswhich have over the years natured talent in Uganda. It is important to note thatof the forty eight, priority is given to eight critical ones because of the constrainedresource basket. The Committee further noted t-l.e total budget for NCS increasedby Ug. Shs. 7.47IPfl from Ug. Shs. 8.84Bn in FY2OI8/19 to Ug. Shs. l625Bnin FY2O[9 /20 for all the main eight sports associations.

The Committee was informed that the Council received a presidential directive toa.llocate tJ:e Federation of Uganda Footba-ll Association (FUFA) a total amount tothe tune of Ug.shs. 10Bn in the FY2O19 /2O for its operations. It is noteworthythat in the recent years, most of the medals that Uganda has received throughits participants have come from otllrer sports disciplines such as athletics andboxing. The committee finds it unfair that the allocation of more than half thebudget will go to FUFA and crowd out tJle rest of tl:e associations and sportsdisciplines.

The Committee therefore recommends that finance allocates an extra Ug, Shs.10Bn to address the shortfall created by the big allocation to FUFA and so fundthe planne activi s arrd operations of the o associations.S

18. Vote 122 llaapala Capital City Authority. The Committee observedthat while the sector remits al education grant to Yote 122 KampalaCapital City every financial year, the vote's budget was not reflected in theMPS of the sector for FY2OI9 120. The Committee noted this was ananomaly because the Vote's education budget has always been embeddedwithin the sector's budget and it was reflected under the Sector in theNBFP for FY2OI9 l2O.

The Committee recommends that the Ministry adequately plans and prioritizesto ensure that issues like salary are not handled as supplementary, adequatefunding is also sought from the MFPED towards the sector to avoid thissupplementary expenditure.

Table 5 above shows the estimates for Education and Sports Sector forFY2OI9l20 and the Medium Term up lo FY2O23 /24. There is a 3.8% increasein the overall budget of the sector from UGX 3,122.50bn to UGX 3,242,27bn inFY?OL9 l20 compared to FY2O18/ l9.There are notable increases in the wage,non-wage and development components by 13.7o/o, 45.8% and 1a.2yorespectively mainly due to the integration of A.l.A due to the fact that startingFY2OI9 l2O URA will collect all NTR and this will be allocated to the sector asindicated.

3,2 Proposed Allocations to Education Sector as per Vote

Table 6 below shows the proposed allocations to the different votes under theEducation and Sports Sector.There are notable increases in allocations to MoES, Muni University, MakerereUniversity, Gulu University, Kabale University and Soroti University mainly tocater for saiary enhancements and NSSF and UGX 30bn allocated to MUK forresearch. Decreases in ailocations were noted in Busitema, MUST, MUBS, Liraand Kyambogo Universitr e NCDC and UNEB.

t.1.(v'"

The increments in the Ministry budget are mainly due to an increase in the wagecomponent to local governments to cater for the grant aided primary andsecondary schools and ltlling critical gaps for schools with head teachers anddeputy head teachers in acting capacity and recruitment under the vocationaland technical Institutions.

As earlier noted A.I.A has been integrated in the wage, non-wage anddevelopment components. However it was noted by the Committee that theintegration of A.I.A into the Wage, Non-wage and Development components forthe Universities and UNEB was inadequate as most Universities got allocationsthat are far less than their projected NTR collections, this will greatly incapacitatethe operations of the Universities and UNEB.NCDC is the only vote without any development Budget and for some Universitieslike Kyambogo and Kabale no A.l.A allocations were made to Development andyet most of their capital developments at the University have been due to A.l.A.

3.3 Proposed Nlocations to Education Sector as per programmes

Table 7 below outlines budget allocations to the different programs under MoESinFY2OI9l20.In comparison to the previous financial year, there are increases in the budgetfor all programmes except Higher Education and Physical Education by 41.2o/"and 23.4Yo respectively, the reduction in Higher Education could be largely dueto project 1273- Support to Higher Education, Science & technologr which willbe exiting the PIP. The reduction in Physical Education is due exiting the AkiiBua project and reductions in allocations to the NHATC.

The Policy, Planning and Support Services programme got very high incrementsin their budget especially at the Headquarters from UGX 40. f 95bn to UGX158.872bn and project 1435 Retooiing and capacity development from UGX1.842bn to UGX 7.3l9bn.This was largely due to allocations to wage for the grantaided schools and the recruitments for the various institutions and purchase ofvehicles and consultancy for sector strategic plan under project 1435 Retooling.

3.6 OBSERVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS.a) Salary enhancements for teachers.In the FY20l 8 I 19, a total of Ug. Shs. 98Bn had been earmarked for salaryenhancements for science teachers in secondary schools. The Committee inits wisdom recommended for the halt of this process as it was discriminatingagainst the arts teachers who handle the bulk of the burden that comes withfacilitating students during study period considering that the majority ofstudents in schools offer arts subjects.The Committee was informed that the in FY2018/ 19, government enhancedsalaries of all scientists. However, there were omissions and pay disparities.Cabinet at its 13ft Meeting held on Monday, l"tApril 2019, under minute 145(CT 2019), constituted a Cabinet Sub-Committee chaired by the 1"t DeputyPrime Minister to study and review the special categories of public servantsto be considered for enhanced pay, especially in the Health and EducationSectors, who were omitted during the implementation of Phase 1 salaryenhancement that was approved by Cabinet under Minute 502 (CT 2017)and 5O9 (CT 2017l,, respectively.

The Sub-Committee in its report, approved Ug. Shs. 49,045,488,828 asadditional wage to the Education sector to address pay disparities caused byselective pay awards relating to head teachers, deputy head teachers,instructors, tutors and lecturers in education sector institutions that offerspecialized training as detailed in Annex 1 attached.

It is important to note that a correction factor was applied to bring allcategories above to 30% of the approved long term pay targets by 2O23. Eachof the categories covers teaching staff in secondary schools/BTVET and TIETinstitutions. The salary distortion between science and non-science staff hasbeen addressed in line with the approved pay targets and Ug. Shs.46,947,599,964 is required to address the distortions for staff in post. Ug.Shs. 2,097,888,864 is required to correct the disparities in the ongoingrecruitment. Salary enhancement attached as Annex 1.

The Committee therefore recommends the Ministry liaises with finance toexpeditiously avail the Ug. Shs. 49 ,045,488,828 required for the sa1aryenhancements to be effected in FY2OI9 l2O.

b) Grounded Vehicles.The Committee noted that there were several grounded vehicles ininstitutions that had not been disposed of. For example, Makerere Universityhas over 7O groun cles that it cannot dispose of. The Committee was

Jl'f

GN,^-14

' /' -)-

'/ <_,_

informed by Makerere that Ministry of Education requested them to retainthe vehicles such that they car be taken to the various technical institutionsfor learning purposes.

The Committee recommends that the Ministry expeditiously transfers allthe grounded vehicles in the various institutions to the technical schools asit planned.

c) Vote status of some agencies in the Sector.While considering the budget for FY2018/ 19, ministry of Finance throughit's engagement with the Committee and Ministry of Education and Sportsagreed to grant vote status to NCHC and NCS and to increase facilitationfrom Ug.shs. 0.957Bn to the required Ug. Shs. 5.66Bn for establishment ofthe relevant Committees for staffing, equipping and retooling of theUNESCOM. However this has not been attained.

The Committee was further informed that the issue of vote status has beendelayed due to a presidential directive to merge all government agencies butthis plan has not been reflected in the budgeting of FY2019/2O.

The Committee thetefore recommends that finance fast tracks thisprocess to enable the agencies in question obtain the necessary autonomyand resources needed for them to perform their necessar5r mandates and ashortfall of Ug.shs. 4.7O3Bn be availed.

d) Pending Bills under the Sector.The Committee observed that the following Bills which were supposed to havebeen brought to parliament for amendment in the FY2O18/ 19 have not beentabled. These include;

i. UNEB Amendment Billii. NCDC Amendment Billiii. The University and other Tertiary Institutions Amendment Billiv. The Physical Activitiy and Sports Amendment Billv. The BTVET Amendment Bill andvi. Nakivubo War Memorial Stadium Amendment Bill.

The Committee strongly recommends that the Ministry fast tracks thetabling of these Bills for tabling so as to re-align the operations of the affectedtt)r-i,/ agencies and to also address the current challe in the ctor.

e) Recruitnent of 22,OOO primary teachers.The Committee notes that Ug.shs. 132bn is needed in the medium term torecruit 22,OOOprimary teachers as highlighted in the sector budget strateryfor FY2OL9 l2O. However, no funding has been allocated in FY2019/20. TheMOES's plan for the next Financial Year is 6,000 teachers at a cost of Ug.

Shs. 36bn.

Source: MoES

The Committee recommends that Ug. Shs. 36bn be provided to theMinistry of Education and Sports to kick-start the recruitment process of the22,OOO primary teachers as highlighted in the budget strateg/.

f) Projects transferred to tbe Ministry:The Committee notes that two projects, the Northern Uganda YouthDevelopment Center and the Uganda Scouts and Girl Guides Association,were transferred from the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) and Ministry ofGender, Labour and Social Development (MGLSD) respectively to MoESwithout any funds allocated. This created a funding gap of Ug.shs.2,541,171,890 for the Youth Development Center and Ug.shs. 4bn for theScouts and Girls guides Association.The Committee recommends that MFPED allocates Ug. Shs. 6.541bn tofacilitate the functioning of these two programs as they were funded in theirprevious entities.

gl Teaching practice in PfCs.The Committee observed that the Ministry required a total of Ug.shs. 2Bn tofacilitate teaching practice in PTCs for 8,000 students at a unit cost of UGX3,00O per day for 84 days. The Committee notes that teaching practice is a coreactivity for all student teachers as it allows them to gain experience inpractical classroom situations and is a requirement before they graduate.The Committee noted that only Ug. Shs. 0.808n has been allocated. inFY2O 19 I 20 leaving a shortfall of Ug. shs. 1. 2 16Bn.

The Committee recommends that MoFPED allocates Ug. Shs. l.2l6Bt toensure that PTCs conduct teaching practice for the teachers as is required.

h) Scheme of senrice:The Committee observes the Ministry requires a total to the tune ofUg.Shs.lBn to kick start the promotion of 1,000 Assistant Education Officersto Education Officers and 200 Education Officers to Senior EducationOfficers. The Committee notes that this still remains an unfunded priority intlne FY2OI9 I 18. The Committee notes that the lack of promotions is not onlyunfair but is also a source of discontent among the ofhcers and ultimatetyaffects their performance. The Ministry informed the Committee that in orderto promote the 1,20O officers, an amount of Ug. Shs. 7Bn is required to caterfor their wage bill.

The Committee recommends that MoPED allocates Ug. Shs. 7Bn to caterfor the promotion of 1,200 officers.

4 THE NATTONAL COUNCTL FOR HIGHER EDUCATTON (NCHEIa) Inadequate funding:The Committee observes that at the time NCHE was established in 2O03,there were only 12 universities. Presently, however, there are 51 universitiesand many other tertiary institutions. The increased number of universitiesand tertiary institutions results into extra work in terms of regulation andsupervision for NCHE, which in turn requires more funding.

The Committee recommends that an extra Ug. Shs. 2bn that was initiallycapital development in FY2018/ 19 should be maintained and reverted tonon-wage since the date pertaining all obligations with the contractor hasbeen passed and all hnancial obligations fullilled. The funding will enable thecouncil to fund its operations to ensure quality higher education in theCountry.

5 THE HIGHER EDUCATION STUDENTS FINANCING BOARDThis board was established by S.3 of the Higher Education StudentsFinancing Act, 2Ol4 to manage the higher education students financingscheme, mobilize resources for students linancing for higher education andhandle all resources intended to finance ,students at higher education.

L[a

OBSERVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS.

a) Student scholarships.The Committee observes that the Ministry has continuously and persistentlyneglected the Committee's proposal to have all the resources meant for highereducation student's financing in a single basket under the management ofthe Higher Education Students Financing Board as envisaged under section42 of th:e Act which provides that:

"All scholarships curentlg offered by the Gouernment of Ugandaincluding bilateral scholarships, eisting immediatelg before thecommencement of this Act shall uest in the board."

The Committee therefore would like to reiterate its recommendation tohave all resources allocated to the higher education students linancingincluding the four thousand government sponsorship at universities and theover six thousand government sponsorships at tertiary institutions, the StateHouse scholarships and bilateral aid/ scholarships be sent to the HigherEducation Students Financing Board for proper management andtransparency.

The Committee further recommends that the board makes provision forfunds to be accessed by continuing students who initially did not opt for thestudent loans whiie enrolling for higher education but may midway face thepossibility of falling out of studies as a result of failing to raise funds tocontinue with studies.

The Commlttee further noted that admission dates between public andprivate higher education institutions are not harmonized and yet the boardrelies so much on these admissions to start its selection process for funding.The disparity in admission timelines creates anxiety arnong studentsconsidering that they may not be sure to receive funding even whenUniversities have opened the result of which is late or failing to report at all.

The Committee strongly recommends that the Ministry synchronises theadmission dates and timelines between public and private higher educationisntitutions to reduce on cases of uncoordinated reporting of students atschool.

bf Inadequate allocation to the loan echeme for the new cohort ofFY2OL9l20.

The Committee was informed that the board had a total budget estimate ofUg. Shs. 35.29Bn in FY2O|9 120 while the funds available as per MTEFceiling are Ug. Shs. 27.788n. The Committee noted that with the MTEFceiling, the board will oniy be able to sponsor 1000 new students as opposedto the desired extra 2000 students. The board requires an extra Ug.shs. 7Bnin order to take on 2000 extra students at a unit cost of Ug. Shs. 3.5mi11ionin order to meet the target of 3000 students.

The Committee recommends that Ministry of finance avails the required Ug.Shs. 7Bn for the board to take on the extra 2000 students that need funding.

6 THE NATIONALCOUNCIL OF SPORTSaf Insuflicient fuading for Sports Associations.The Committee noted that the National Council of Sports supervises forty eightnational sports associations which have over the years natured talent that hasproduced medals for the countr5z on top of promoting Ugalda's International imageand ranking, career development of athletes and national unity. It is important tonote t}rat of the forty eight, priority is given to eight critical ones because of theconstrained resource basket. These include the Federation of Uganda FootballAssociation (FUFA), Uganda Netba-ll Federation, Federation of Uganda BasketballAssociation (FUBA), Uganda Athletics Federation (UAF), Association of UgandaUniversity Sports, Uganda Boxing Federation (UBF), Uganda Rugby Union and theUganda Paral5,rnpic Committee.

The Committee further noted the total budget for NCS increased by Ug. Shs.7.4l7Bn from Ug. Shs. 8.84Bn in FY2018/19 to Ug. Shs. l6.25Bn in FY2OI9/20for all the main eight sports associations.

The Committee was informed that the Council received a presidential directive toallocate the Federation of Uganda Footba-ll Association (FUFA) a total amount to thetune of Ug.shs. l0Bn in t}re FY2O79 /2O for its operations. It is noteworthy that inthe recent over five years, most of the medals that Uganda has received through itsparticipants have been from other sports disciplines such as athletics and boxing.The committee frnds it unfair that the allocation of more than ha-lf the budget willgo to FUFA and crowd out the rest of the associations.

The Committee therefore recommeuds that finance allocates an extra Ug. Shs.lOBn to address the shortfall created by big allocation to FUFA and also fund theplanne tivities ald operations of the other sociations.

'T+39

b) Threat to land for sports facilities.The Committee noted the persistent threats of encroachment on sportsfacilities and the lack of specialized areas for sports activities. While theMinistry contends that is has got most of the land titles of the sports facilitiesin its custody, it is still unclear why the sports facilities are dilapidated, lackperimeter walis, lighting facilities and are poorly maintained. The Committeenoted that the legal and regulatory frameworks governing the sports sectorare obsolete and unable to guide the actors in promoting a robust sportssector in the Country.

The Committee recommends that the Ministry expedites the process ofamending the Physical Education and Sports Bill to take care of the currentchallenges in the sports sector.

The Committee further strongly recommends that all sports facilities beput under the management of NCS.

7.2 MEDIUM TERM PLANSThe Board plans to carry out the following activities in the medium term:

i) Development of biometric data capture of candidates' informationii) Personalization of candidate's Certificates and Result slipsiii) E-marking of scriptsiv) Continuous monitoring and supervision of assessment processv) Construction of office and examination storage facilities andvi) Continuous Professionahzalion of staff in Assessment and

,.o OBSERVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONSa) Inadequate AIA allocation.

The Committee was informed that UNEB had AIA projection of Ug. Shs.58Bn in the FY2O19 120. Howeve, finance only allocated Ug. Shs. 42Bn inle a shortfall of Ug. Shs. 16Bn which will affect the following

S.

Distribution of UCE and UACE examination - Ug. Shs. 0.575Bn1.

IV.

ii. Field management and supervision of UCE and UACE examination- Ug. Shs. 8.456Bn.

iii. Maiking fees UCE and UACE - Ug. Shs. 3.786BnHosting fees at marking nues - ug. S . 2.883Bn

t; 47

The Committee recommends that finance reinstates the board's projectedAIA allocations to enable the activities above to be implemented.

b! Inadequate Developmeot Budget:The Committee observes that the development budget for UNEB isinadequate to cover the development needs of the Board. The Committeeobserves that UNEB lacks storage facilities to ensure the safe storage ofexamination papers, which in turn contributes to massive leakages ofexaminations. The Committee further observes that UNEB continues to hirestorage facilities using money that could be used to fund other priorities.

UNEB needs Ug. Shs. 10.880Bn the construction of the first phase of itsstorage facilities in Kyambogo. Then board has been allocated a total of Ug.Shs.5.73lBn in the FY2019 l20 leaving a balance of Ug. Shs. 5.1498n.

The Committee therefore recommends that UNEB be allocated anadditional an additional Ug. Shs. 5.149Bn in addition to the Ug. Shs.5.73lBn to raise the required Ug.shs. 10.880bn to start the construction ofthe first phase of an examination warehouse/ storage structure at Kyambogo.

c) Automatic counting, wrapplng and labelling machine:The Committee observes that counting, wrapping and labelling ofexamination papers is done manually, which makes it susceptible to humanerror. The Committee learnt that in some examination centres, fewer scriptswere received compared to the number of registered candidates. TheCommittee notes that using machines is a more effective option to rule outerrors.

The Committee recommends that Ug. Shs. 2.4bn be allocated to UNEB toprocure an automatic counting, wrapping and labelling machine to ensurethe smooth administration of examinations.

df Securlty printer for certificates and pass slips:The Committee learnt that UNEB procures the printing of certificates andpass slips from abroad. The Committee is concerned that this is not only timeconsuming but is also expensive.

The Committee recommends that Ug. Shs. 3.5Bn be allocated to UNEB toprocure a security printer for certificates and pass slips.

el Electronic smatt locking system at Examination centres:The Committee observes that storage of exams is key to preventingexamination leakages. The Committee notes that absence of a smart lockingsystem at examination centres puts the securit5z and credibility ofexaminations at stake.

The Committee recommends that UNEB be allocated Ug. Shs. 2.7bn toprocure an electronic smart locking system at all examination centres.

f) Extra funding for NAPE (Secondary Schools) and continuousas6essment:

The Committee observed with concern that UNEB has failed to undertake theNational Assessment of Progress in Education (NAPE) in Seconda{r Schoolsfor four consecutive years. Last year, this was not done for Primary 1evel tooand was attributed to lack of funding. The Committee observed that NAPESecondary assessment was one of the mechanisms for ensuring high qualitysecondary education since the data collected from the exercise would informchanges in policy and decision making.

The Committee recommends that UNEB be allocated a sum of Ug. Shs.6.5Bn next linancial year to undertake NAPE Secondary activities at the costofUg. Shs. 3Bn and Continuous assessments at Ug. Shs. 3Bn.

g) Poor performance of students in UACE ia Biology.The Committee noted the poor performance in Biologr at UACE with theboard registering a 37 .8Vo pass level (A-E) of students in the just concludedUACE exams. The board informed the Committee that no investigations havebeen conducted by the board to ascertain the high failure rates by thestudents.The Committee recommends that the board takes up this as a matter ofurgency and investigates the root cause of the high failure rates as Bio1oryis a key subject given that government has an agenda of promoting sciencebased vocations.

hf The Need for Contlnuous assessment.. , -.;- The Committee noted the prevalent high failure rates, malpractices and' leakage of exams in the annual examinations issued by UNEB over the past

couple of years. There has been no substantii

{ -,iidicate that the status of performances have become highly commerci

ve improvement registered toents will change for the better

\<sr--ry 43

of students. The Committee therefore considered that perhaps, it is high timeUNEB adopted a continuous assessment model for assessing students.

A critical look at Uganda's education system indicates that continuousassessment al1ows the teacher to focus on the teaching and learningprocesses and evaluate students, not over a long period of time, but on adaily or weekly basis. The students get the intended learning outcomes andnot just the grades.

The Committee noted that a number of issues are not put into considerationby UNEB while setting out exams for students for instance, students beingmarked by total strangers who have never taught them and yet effectiveassessment is based on prior knowledge about someone. Further still, socialchallenges such as the loss of a parent, financial depressions, sickness andsometimes anxiety which makes students forget things out of fear during theexam period could affect the student. Further stiil, a student's previousperformance is not considered because this linal exam sums up everything,which is not fair. In the end, teachers put focus on teaching students to passUNEB exams which has encouraged cramming instead of learning.

The Committee therefore thinks that the continuous assessment could bethe answer to the widespread exam malpractice in the country which is aresult of pressure to pass UNEB exams.

The Committee therefore recommends that UNEB comes up with acontinuous assessment systems to fully assess a student's performancethroughout the seven years at primary level and the six years at secondary1eve1.

MTE 132: EDUCATION SERVICE COMMISSION (Esc)The Education Service Commission is mandated to recruit personnel into theEducation Service on the basis of needs and submissions from the Ministryof Education and Sports.

8.3 OBSERVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONSal The E-Recruitment System.

The Committee noted that the Commission has been grappling with thelarge numbers of teachers during recruitment exercises. In addition, theteachers are required to ply very long distances to submit theirapplications to the Commission. The Commission plans to develop an E-Recruitment system to manage the challenges of numbers and reduce onthe time required to travel by applicants.

9.3 OBSERVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONSal Roll out of the Lower Secondary Curriculum.

The Committee was informed that a Syear costed roadmap for the roll outCurriculum was developed by the sector and/"

n

of the Lower Second

ffi@-

lrs-q,

various initiatives are already under way to mobilize the required fundingfor preliminary activities in preparation for the roll out in January 2O2O.The Center requires a total of Ug. Shs. 143,933,663,200 to facilitate theactivities of the entire ro11 out.

However, due to the constrained resource basket, the sector was advisedto rationalize and clearly state how much it required to kick start theprocess. The proposed minimal financial requirements are as follows.

- National Carriculum Developme Center, Ug. Shs. 76,640,172,OOO

- Teacher and Instructor Education Department Ug. Shs.2r,920,235,O2t

- Instructional Materials Unit Ug. Shs. 1,623,550,000- Uganda National Examaminations Board Ug. Shs. 6,000,000

A total of Ug. Shs. 46,183,957,021 is required to kick start the ro11 of theLower Secondary curriculum.

The Committee is cognizant of the current challenges facing the educationsector that are as a result of an almost obsolete curriculum. This has beenmanifested in the most recent performance of students in PLE, UCE andUACE results where some of the highest failure rates were registered inhistory.

It is against this back ground therefore that the Commltteerecommends that finance allocates the required Ug. Shs. 46,183,957,O27needed to start this very critical activity intended to bolster the educationsector of the country.

bf Static wage Bill.The Center has continuously grappled with a stagnant wage bill of Ug. Shs.3.6Bn since FY2OI2 I 13. This has greatly demotivated the staf and isresponsible for the high rate of sta-ff turnover at the Center. The Challenge ofthe static wage was further noted by the Minstry of Public service rn 2Ol7while analyzing the sector staff establishment. The analysis reportrecommended the enhancement of the NCDC wage bill from Ug. Shs. 3.68nto Ug. Shs. 9Bn to fill the vacant positions at the Center.

The Committee therefore recommends that finance allocates the requiredUg. Shs. 9Bn to enhance the staffing levels at the Center to enable them carryout their work effectively.

cl Lack ofa Development Budget.The Committee noted with concern that NCDC has for the past 10 years notreceived any deveiopment fu e Center s two that e

approved in the PIP in 2017 which included the infrastructural developmentproject costed at Ug. Shs. 28Bn and the retooling project costed at Ug. Shs.6.974Bn. Both projects have never received funding. Lak of a developmentbudget has also created audit queries like the lack of inadequate transportequipment to effectively handle entity operations. As per their vehicleutilization report, out of 11 vehicles, 9 are grounded and only two are in afairly running condition.

The Center requires an initial capital development budget of Ug. Shs. 3.9Bnfor the following activities summarized in the table below.

The Committee recommends that Ug. Shs. 3.98n be reallocated from Vote013, MoES project 1435 retooling, to the Center to fund its developmentbudget.

10 PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES10. 1 GENERAL OBSERVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS ON UNIVERSITIES

a) Appropriation in Aid (AIA).While interfacing with stakeholders, the committee was informed that AIAallocations were integrated within wage, Non-wage and development as onecomponent in the budget for FY2OI9 /20. The Committee noted that the newpolicy in budgeting guided that with effect from FY2019/20, all A.I.A would becollected and would be remitted to the consolidated fund with cash limits forspending.

It would then be integrated in the MTEF, budgeted for like any other resourceand the collection of which would be done by Uganda Revenue Authority so as to

r.l

government of Uganda Budget the effect of which abolished the allocation andissuance of a separate budget for A.l.A.

The Committee noted that finance started implementing the new policy withoutprior engagements and consent of the affected stakeholders. Some Universitieswere allocated AIA that is way below their targets of FY2O19l20 compared towhat was reported as having been collected by end of half year in December2018. The implication thereof would be a negative effect on the day to dayoperations of the Universities bearing in mind that most of them were usingtheir AIA for their development budget.

A case in point is Kyambogo University which had a target of 93.87Bn asprojected NTR collections for FY2019l2O but was only allocated 77.21PrL.This was integrated in their wage and non- wage component with noallocation to development. Gulu University, expected to collect AIA of 13.878nbut Finance allocated them only 7 .648rr which is lower that their half yearcollections of 8.658n.

The Committee sought a meeting with the MoFPED to get clarification overthis matter but the meeting did not take place. Attached is the invitation letteras Appendix 2.

Recommendation, The Committee recommends that Ministry of Financehalts the new policy and a thorough engagement with stakeholders be had.This will create harmony and will also go a long way in making theimplementation of the policy convenient. The Committee further recommendsthat aiiocations for AIA be made as per the projections of each University.

b) Library Budget allocation.The Committee observed that ail the public libraries hardly allocated 17o

to\,vards the library function contrary to the University and Tertiaryinstitutions regulations, which stipulate that a University should allocate atleast 107o of the Universities total budget exclusive of the wage component.

Recommendation, The Committee noted with concern that the 10%requirement for the library function is stringent on the Universities' totalbudget and therefore recommends that it should be revised downwards toenable Universities reaiistically implement it.

cl Inadequate stalllng at universities:The Committee noted that year in year out, the Auditor General hascontinuously reported on low staffing levels in public Universities whichis affecting service d Universities. 'lhe FY2o19l2o, ce has

49u d+,e

only allocated money for the recruitment of (114) staff in Kabale Universitywhile Busitema, a multi-compass University and Mbarara University werestill having staffing levels below 3070.

The Committee recommends that Ministry of Finance should avail fundsfor the Universities to undertake these recruitments to close the stafling gapsand enhance service delivery.

d) Support to Private unlversltles at the expense of Public.The Committee observes with concern that the Ministry of Education andSports has budgeted for the purchase of a 65 seater Bus for Ibanda Universityin the FY2019 /2O. T}:e Committee noted with concern that Universities suchas Muni, Lira and Busitema, Kabale and Gulu lack adequate non-wagesupport that could help in taking care of fuel costs incurred while plying theKampala route for meetings during consideration of BFP and MPS eachIinancial year. Needless to say are the long kilometers they have to drive.

The Committee was shocked to learn that some of the Vice chancellors andtheir accompanying officials had to board buses and other private means tomake it to Kampala for meetings. This was attributed to the lack of fundingfor operational costs such as fuel that is required for the University vehiclesto be driven to Kampala.

The Committee noted that the Ministry has continuously extended support toother private universities at the expense of gross underfunding to Publicuniversities.

The Committee recommends that Govemment should priorities extendingfunding to Public Universities.

ef Inadequate Funding for government sponsored students.During this review, the Committee observed some discrepancies betweenuniversity needs and the actual resources availed to them to facilitategovernment sponsored students. For instance, they continuously receive onlyfour thousand Uganda shillings (4000/=) per student for meals (Breakfast,lunch and supper) per day. The Committee also noted that the living outallowance for students and NSSF consume over 80%o of the recurrent non-wage budget leaving barely any funds for operations of the University. TheCommittee is concerned that this is a recipe for student strikes as theinsufhcient funds curtail University daily operations.

The Committee recommends that the Government should come out with apolicy clearly stating up to how mu g it can avail to the students if it I

Llu

fundin

G."50

cannot raise more than the Ug. Shs. 4000 such that government studentscan plan appropriately for top ups through their own private means to avoidshocks that could distort their time and progress of study.

The Committee further recommends that the policy decision andimplementation be carried out after through consultations and sensitizationof students to avert student strikes which are likely to occur as a result of thedisruption of the usual way of life likely to be occasioned by its introduction.

f) Inadequate funds for Research.The Committee observes that there is inadequate allocation to research anddevelopment at universities and yet the core mandate of universities is tocarry out scientific research. The low GoU allocation to research anddevelopment undermines the ability of universities to build capacit5r of theiracademic staff especially that donor funding to universities are tagged tospecific activities.

The Committee noted with concern that in FY2OI9 l20, MAK Universit5r wasallocated an extra Ug. Shs.3OBn for research alone. The committee feels thatthis should have been fairly spread out to all the other public Universitiesgiven the fact that MAK receives an off budget support for research to a tuneof Ug. Shs.336Bn.

The Committee recommends that government allocates more fundingtowards research and development in universities to build capacity onlecturers and increase on the stock of professors in the academia.

1 1,3 BSERVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONSal Lourer staffing levelsThe Committee noted that the University the overall staffing levels are at 160/o

and of these, 22.60/" are academic staff and only l9Vo are for administrativestaff. In the FY 2018/ 19, the University did not receive any additional fundingfor recruitment and therefore there was no recruitment done apart fromreplacement basis. Considering Busitema as a multi-campus university withsix campasuses, it relies so much on part time lecturers this is notsustainable. In its efforts to close the staffing gaps, the university hascontinued to lobby for additional funding for recruitment and promotions andit submitted to MoFPED this issue as an unfunded priority in the BFP forFY2OI9 /2O but no allocation has been made. The University requires Ugx.4,134,964,344 for this recruitment to be done.

-54o s,'- 52

I,

The Commlttee recommends that finance avails the Ugx. 4,134,964,344 forthe University to recruit the critical staff to support all the six campuses ofBusitema (Nagongera, Mbale, Pallisa, Arapai, Namasagali and Busitema).

bf Funding for the Technolory Business Innovation and IncubationCenter (TBIICI

The Committee noted that the Technologr Business Innovation andIncubation Center (TBIIC) at Busitema University developed a number ofprototypes most of which are designed and geared towards supportingfarmers to add value to their farm products. It was further observed that theprototypes have been designed to address the problems of farmers purchasingexpensive machines from foreign countries and create employment to localinnovators in line with BUBU policy. In August 2018, linance committed tofinancing the TBIIC for increase innovations but this has not been providedfor in the Budget for FY2O19 l20.

The Committee recommends that finance allocates Ug. Shs. 1Bn eachfinancial year for the next 3 financial years as it had earlier committedtowards the operationalization of the TBIIC.

The Committee noted that Busitema University is faced with a challenge ofinadequate infrastructure. The University lacks adequate facilities for bothlectures and administrative work and the 1.078Bn that is being allocated peryear is not sufficient enough to cater for al1 the development requirements inthe other campuses.

The Committee recommends that linance increases the developmentbudget for the Universitlr to at least 3.34Bn per year to cater for thedevelopment requirements of all other Campuses.

1 2.3 OBSERVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONSa) The Committee observes that the University is still in its infancy stage

and has persistently had operational challenges due to the inadequatebudget allocations that finance has been allocating towards recurrent non-wage. A case in point is the allocation for of Ug. Shs. 3.898n in FY2O19 l20compared to Ug. Shs. 3.37Bn that was allocated in FY20i8/ 19.

\ist"ho*" that there is only a 0.51SBn increment in the non-wage whichbarely caters for additional operational expenses such as purchase ofchemicals, reagents, specimen and apparatus given that it is a sciencebased institution. It is important to note that most of the non-wage catersfor NSSF and the students leaving out allowances.

The Committee recommends that Finance should take into account theUniqueness of me universities and allocate MUNI an extra Ug. shs

6t 55

l.1OBn to their recurrent non-wage to cater for provision of chemicals,reagents and teaching aids for nursing and science in education in theFY2OI9l20.

b) The Committee was informed that the University has undeveloped landin BidiBidi, Paroketo, Madi-Okolo and Hospital cell which is prone toencroachers. The Universit5r requires Ug. Shs. 14.058n as a start forimplementation of phase 1 of their physical development plan.

The Committee recommends that MoFPED supports Muni Universitywith Ugs 14.05Bn so they can embark on the implementation of theirphysical development plan.

1 3.3 OBSERVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONSal Dental School.

The Committee observed with concern the continued delays in therehabilitation and equipping of the University dental school. This hasalways remained as an unfunded priority each ltnancial with a meagreallocation of Ug. Shs. 0.48n (400M). The dental schools requires a total Ugshs. 1.378n to be fully rehabilitated and equipped.

The Committee recommends that the funding of 1.37Bn be spread intwo financial years considering that the rehabilitation and equipping of thedental school is a capital expenditure in nature. This therefore means thata total funding of O.685Bn (685M) will be required for the FY2OI9 l2O andthe balance will be for FY2O2Ol2l.

The Committee therefore recommends that a total of Ug. Shs. 0.285Bn(2BSM) be reallocated from Development project 127 2- support to MakerereUniversity under output 071377- purchase of specialized machinery andequipment, as a top up on the Ug. Shs. 0.4Bn (400m) to provide therequired 0.6858n (685m).

bf Toilets in University Halls of residence.The Committee observed the continued appalling conditions of theUniversity Halls and toilets. The Committee was informed that efforts torehabilitate the toilets in Halls were already under way and so farrehabilitation works in Nsbibirwa, University Hall, Mitchell andLivingstone halls had already been completed. The Committee noted thatthere was no provision to rehabilitate the other Ha1ls which includeLumuba, Merry Stuart, Complex, Africa and Nkurumah in the FY2019/20.

The Committee noted that in the FY2019/20 budget, MakerereUniversity has an extra Ug. Shs. 4.68n as funding from AIA compared toFY20 18/ 19. The University requires Ug. Shs. 1 .SBn to rehabilitate thetoilets in the remaining halls of residence.

Ilr.

The Committee therefore fecommends that the University allocates Ug.Shs. 1.5Bn from the additional AIA of Ug. Shs. 4.6Bn towardsrehabilitation of the toilets in the remaining halls of residence.

cl Library function.The Committee observed that the University continues to allocate less than10% to the Library function as stipulated by Regulation 9.4 of statutoryinstrument 85 of the Universities and other tertiary institutions. A reviewof the annual budget for the year ended 2017 118 indicated that Ug. Shs.504M was allocated to this purpose representing a O.2loh of the Universit5rbudget. It was noted further that no expenditure was incurred on updatingand purchasing of new information materials during the period underreview.

This is very detrimenta,l to the University as it risks having obsolete librarymaterial and information in the absence of funds to keep updating thestock of books and information resources which keep changing on aregular basis.

The Committee noted with concern that the 10%o requirement for thelibrary function is stringent on the Universities' total budget and thereforerecommends that it should be revised downwards to enable Universitiesrealistically implement it.

The Committee also recommends that the University allocates Ug. Shs.1.588n which is 0.5% of its total budget towards its library function in theFY2OI9 l20.

d) University teaching Hospital.The Committee continues to observe the need for the University to have ateaching Hospital for the medical students. The Universit5r continues torely on Mulago Hospital which has gone through various transformationsand renovations which may not be easily accessible to studentsconsidering that it is now a specialized Hospital. The University did informthe Committee that it is having negotiations with a number of potentialfunders to build a Universitlr teaching Hospital on its land in Katalemwa.

The Committee therefore recommends that the Universitv fast tracks thefunding so that theyKataiemwa.

bf Library function.The Committee observed that MUST has only provided for an allocation ofO.3o/o to the library function in the FY2019/20.

The Committee recommends that the University allocates Ug. Shs.0.236Bn an equivalent of a O.5o/o of their total budget towards their libraryfunction.

cl Bus for transporting University students.The Committee also noted that MUST lacks a bus to transport theirstudents and the current bus is in a dilapidated state hence requiring areplacement.

1 5. 3 OBSERVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONSaf Inadequate fuading to the recurrent non-wage.

The Committee obserwed that total funding to MUBS had reduced from Ug.Shs. 84.04Bn in FY2018/ 19 to 77 .O4Bn rn FY2OL9 l20. This is largely dueto a cut in their AIA allocation from the projected Ug. Shs. 56Bn to 42Bn.The reduction by Ug. Shs. 14.9Bn greatly affects their non-wage anddevelopment components thereby incapacitating the non-wage in thefourth quarter as the Committee was informed that the University will onlybe able to operate up to quarter 3. The budget cuts also will bring thedevelopment projects to a standstill.

The Committee recommends that finance restores the University'sprojected AIA of Ug. Shs. 56Bn for the FY?O 19 l2O to enable it carry outits operations throughout the financial and complete in infrastructuraldevelopment.

b) Salary enhancement.The University informed the Committee that they have a wage billallocation of Ug. Sh.28.7Bn in the FY2OL9 l20. However, its corresponding10% NSSF to a tune of Ug.

salary enhancement in the FY2018/ 19 and this has greatly demotivatedthem. The University would need an extra Ug.7.72Bn towards their salaryenhancement and Ug. Shs. 0.778n towards the 10% NSSF contribution.

The Commlttee recommends that that finance allocates MUBS with Ug.Sh. 11.378n to cater for the salary enhancements and the statutory 10%o

I6.3 OBSERVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONSaf Development budget.

The Committee observed that Kyambogo University had not been allocatedany funds for the development component during the process ofintegration of AIA by finance in the FY2019 l2O yet the University uses AIAto fund its infrastructural development. The implication is such that theUniversity will barely have funds for infrastructural development. Thecommittee noted that part of the funds from AIA had been earmarked forthe removal of asbestos roofs and overhaul of the Universit5r's sewagesystem.

The Committee therefore recommends that Ug. Shs. 3Bn be reallocatedfrom the Universit5r's non-wage component to the development component.The Committee further recommends that finance reinstates their projectedAIA of Ug. Shs. 93.B7Bn in the FY2019l2O and allocates 107o towardstheir development component. Once this reinstatement has been made,the university should continue with the process of removing the asbestosand revamping the sewage system.

b) Domestic Arrears.The Committee noted that the Universitlr had accumulated arrears to thetune of Ug. Shs. 14Bn as at FY2OL9 l2O verified for vote 139 KyambogoUniversity. These were attributed to inadequate funds allocated to run the

?r{",io" s of the institution. e Committee noted that the allocation of

l)II

Ug. Shs. 0.1418n (141M) against the required 14Bn was insufficient andwould lead to further litigation against the University.

The Committee noted that the Universitlr has an allocation of Ug. Shs.2.SBn for development in the FY2019/20 which is Ug. Shs. 1Bn more thanits budget for FY2Ol8l29. This brings a total sum of their currentdevelopment budget to a tune of 3.58n in the FY2019l20.Tt,e Committeealso noted that there was a shortfall of Ug. Shs. 0.9Bn to fullyoperationalize the teaching hospital. The shortfall is required forconstruction of an incinerator, laundry, diet kitchen and medical store atthe teaching Hospital.

The Committee was informed that under phase 1 of the UTSEP project, 70local governments got motor cycles for inspection. The Mlnistry also gavea waiver for some local governments to purchase motor bicycles forinspection from the schools facilitation grant.

The Committee therefore recommends that the Ministry purchasesanother T0motor cycles in t}:e FY2OI9 /20 at a cost of Ug. 10 million eachfor the inspection function be strengthened and priority should be givento the local governments that do not have any transport equipment forinspection. The Committee further recommends that the Ug.shs. 0.78n bereallocated from Vote be reallocated.

The Ministry should explicitly state to the CAOs and district leadershipthat all transport equipment purchased for inspection should be used forthe intended purpose.

23 CONCLUSIONRt. Hon. Speaker and Hon. Members,

I beg to move that the budget for the Ministry of Education and Sports and thevotes under its purview be approved as per the table below subject to the aboveobservations, recommendations and proposed intra-sectoral reallocations.
