2.0 COMMISSION’S FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE IN FY 2020/2021........................................ 7
I would like to take this opportunity to present to you the 26th series of the Education Service
Commission Annual Performance Report for Financial Year 2020-2021 in accordance with
Section 8 of the Education Service Act 2002. This Annual Performance Report provides an
account of the Commission Performance for the Period 1st July 2020 to 30th June 2021.
During the Period under review, the Commission appointed 6,494 Personnel into Education
Service which included teaching and Non-teaching staff for 83 schools countrywide
under the Uganda Intergovernmental Fiscal Transfer Program (UgIFT). This was to fulfill
government commitment towards establishing Secondary schools in each sub-county
without a government aided secondary school in order to promote equitable access to
education.
The Commission confirmed appointments of 1,955 personnel who have served their
probationary period of six (06) months. Out of these 1323 were male and 632 were female.
This confirmation was done countrywide.
Amidst the Challenges of CoVID-19 Pandemic and others challenges during the financial
year, the Commission also managed to regularize appointment of 85 Education Service
Personnel.
On my own behalf and on behalf of the Education Service Commission, I would like to
thank the Members of the Commission for their tireless effort during the Financial Year to
enable the Commission achieve its mandate, the Secretariat Headed by the Secretary to
the Commission and the entire technical team for providing support and guidance to the
Commission during the Financial Year.
I hope this report will inform the Rt. Hon, Speaker of Parliament and the Honorable
Members of Parliament and all stakeholders of Education fraternity about the activities of
the Education Service Commission.
Thank you all for your continued cooperation and support to the Commission as we
endeavor to have quality education delivered by efficient and effective Education Service
Personnel.
The Education Service Commission was established under Article 167 and 168 of the
Constitution of the Republic of Uganda, 1995. It therefore draws its mandate from both the
Constitution and the Education Service Act, 2002. Its mandate has expanded to include
Education Service Personnel under Kampala Capital City Authority.
The Commission’s physical performance during the financial year was as follows:
b) A total of 1,955 teaching and non-teaching Education Service staff were confirmed
against the target of 2,300. Of the personnel confirmed, 1,323 were male and 639
were female. Confirmation depends on submission from the Ministry of Education
and sports and other relevant MDAs to the Commission and all cases that were
submitted to the Commission were handled.
The Commission’s approved budget was 9.378 Bn. For which 2.816Bn was wage, 6.353Bn was
non- wage, 0.192 B was Development Budget and 0.018Bn was arrears. The Commission’s
overall budget absorption performance was 91.4%, this was attributed to the unspent wage
which performed at 74.8%. The non-wage expenditure was at 98.4% and the development
budget performed at 100% respectively. The less than 100% wage budget absorption
performance was due to vacant position of the one member of the Commission and other
vacant positions in the ESC secretariat.
The Commission’s operations were greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and limited
office space. Lack of office space was, and is still, a major challenge to the Commission. The
Commission does not have sufficient office and storage space, which has greatly affected
the operations of the Commission.
