Commercialization Of Education In Uganda; Causes And Consequences

Commercialisation of education is an international phenomenon that is evident in many parts of the world. The provision of education is fast moving from being the responsibility of government to that of commercial individuals and organisations. In Uganda, commercialisation of education is attributed to the fact that government has largely abdicated its responsibility of providing education to the private sector. Commercialisation of education has had dire consequences by promoting inefficiency due to focusing on the profit motive rather than the ideals of the noble purpose of education.
