Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The government has released Shs175b to finance the budgets of different education institutions during the first quarter of the 2023\/24 financial year, an official from the Ministry of Education and Sports has revealed.<\/p>\n

Dr Dennis Mugimba, the ministry\u2019s Spokesperson told this publication in a telephone interview Monday that the Ministry of Finance, released funds for the first quarter mid-last week and that the money would reach the accounts of respective local governments by Monday next week.<\/p>\n

According to the document that the Ministry of Education shared with this publication, Universal Secondary Schools took a lion\u2019s share, with a Shs61.8b allocation.<\/p>\n

Shs4.9b was allocated to Technical Institutions, Shs930.5m for inspection and capacity building, Shs788.2m for Community Polytechnics, and Shs5.58b for Primary Teachers\u2019 Training Colleges among others<\/p>\n

Dr Mugimba said the quarterly percentage released to institutions during the first quarter had increased from 30 per cent to 43 per cent.<\/p>\n

He said the Ministry of Education will be sending out guidelines to all local governments on how to spend the excess percentage of funds that they have received.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe shall be giving guidelines on what the excess funds should be covering because if they misuse it, they will be eating into their future and when they get into another term, they will not find money there,\u201d Dr Mugimba said.<\/p>\n

He also tasked institutions and local governments to ensure that the funds received are spent on priority interventions.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the priorities are, instructional materials for the teachers, focusing on inspection of institutions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Dr Mugimba urged the institutions to cut down consumptive expenditures in terms of workshops among other activities.<\/p>\n
