Abstract
<p>Alternative financing mechanisms of church-founded secondary schools in Uganda geared towards mitigating the repercussions of financial resource scarcity in church-founded schools is an ongoing debate among denominational school stakeholders. This study analyzes the extent to which the schools are grappling with possible mechanisms to bridge their financing gap. The findings are a result of a cross sectional survey of what the various church-founded school stakeholders suggest to be the possible Alternative financing mechanisms of church-founded secondary schools in Uganda. It was concluded that most of the students, teachers, head teachers and education secretariat officials revealed that School-generated businesses such as school farms, alumni associations as well as soliciting for funding partners who share in the mission of the Church are the most appropriate Alternative financing mechanisms for Church Founded Schools in Uganda. </p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0954/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
Highlights
In Uganda, education financing is experiencing a downward trend, whereby schools rely more on parents other than government for financing of their budgets
3.1 Findings This study focused on funding coping mechanisms for performance of church-founded secondary schools in Uganda
It was ascertained that the secondary schools in the study had several stakeholders; these ranged from students and staff, to parents, old students, friends, well-wishers and funding partners, all of whom shared in the financing ‘burden’ in relation to the particular schools
Summary
In Uganda, education financing is experiencing a downward trend, whereby schools rely more on parents other than government for financing of their budgets. Education financing data by Uganda National education Accounts indicate that the government contributes 16% and 11% for lower upper secondary respectively, while Households contribute 63% and 78% for the same (UNESCO, 2016). With the growing difficulties in mobilizing financing resources for education in many school systems (OECD, 2017), funding church-founded secondary schools in Uganda has become unimaginable.
