Abstract
This paper focuses on public spending in education in Uganda. In particular, we investigate
the extent to which public spending/provision in the education sector has been pro-poor. The
analysis draws for a large part on the Uganda National Household Survey of 2009/10 (UNHS
IV). The survey is nationally representative and is conducted after every four year span. The
survey has four core modules administered to all sampled households. The socio economic
module collects basic social indicators including household individual particulars, education
and household consumption expenditure. Three additional modules (market, community
and the informal sector) are also administered to the same households. Data from the socio-economic module for specific sections is used.
