In recent years, the government of Uganda has made concerted attempts to reduce the levels of illiteracy among its population through Universal Primary Education (UPE) for children and Functional Adult Literacy (FAL) for adults and out-of-school youth.

As a result, many needy people have failed to benefit from the UPE and FAL programmes, and the situation remains particularly dire for disadvantaged rural communities whose access to educational amenities such as libraries, proper educational infrastructure (buildings) and teachers continues to be limited.

According to a recent study, the Functional Adult Literacy Programme (FALP) which endeavoured to promote youth and adult functional literacy, was only accessible to about 5% of the potential beneficiaries while only about 37.4% of children who completed primary school under the UPE programme were able to access secondary education.
