Over 1,200 sub-counties without secondary school
According to the report, 1,716 sub-counties have at least one secondary school, while those without are 1,208. However, distribution remains highly uneven, with urban and better-served regions enjoying significantly better access than rural and hard-to-reach areas.
The findings are contained in the Baseline Education Census (BEC) 2025 report released by the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) on Thursday.
