Primary education
is compulsory under law in Uganda but in many rural communities many families
cannot afford the cost of uniforms and equipment. Since primary education is
compulsory many poor families will send their children to primary school but
that is where their education will end because they cannot afford anymore
schooling such as secondary school. Though this may sound bad in some cases
many children receive no education at all even though the desperately need it.
For many children that is their only wish to receive and education like most of
the world receives and takes very much for granted.
