Universal Primary Education (UPE) is one of the Government of Uganda’s main policy tools for
achieving poverty reduction and human development. Broadly speaking, its main objectives are to:
• provide the facilities and resources to enable every child to enter and remain in school until
the primary cycle of education is complete;
• make education equitable in order to eliminate disparities and inequalities;
• ensure that education is affordable by the majority of Ugandans;
• reduce poverty by equipping every individual with basic skills.
UPE was introduced in January 1997, following a political commitment by President Museveni that
the Government would meet the cost of primary education of four children per family. This commitment was soon extended to allow all people that wanted to access primary education to do so.

Ankole Cattle Found In Uganda
Ankole Long-Horned Cattle (also known as inyambo) have a dark brown coat and long white horns that curve outwards and then up, in the shape of a lyre. They are majestic, elegant animals, able to travel long distances in search of pasture and water. Thanks to its impressive horns (almost six times longer than those of European cattle breeds), this breed was once considered the incarnation of divine beauty, a yardstick for women and worriers.
Still today these cattle have a sacred role in the communities that depend on them. They are a maternal figure, a currency, and a gift. They strengthen social relationships, and their elegance is celebrated in poems and songs. Breeders and herders articulate the times of the day through the habits of their cattle: the morning is “grazing time” and the evenings are “home time.” Ankole Long-Horned Cattle are raised in the Rift Valley along the border between Uganda and Rwanda (some are also present in Burundi) in a semi-arid strip often called the "cattle corridor." This rustic breed is kept for both its meat and milk. The milk has a high fat content and is used to prepare traditional products such as yogurt and ghee (clarified butter). The blood is also used as an ingredient in local cuisine.
