Tables were used to analyze data using frequencies and percentages. The findings indicated that the cause of low performance of children was abnormal classes of children difficult to control by a teacher, automatic promotion of pupils as UPE policy, under staffing and poor motivation of teachers among others. The researcher concluded that UPE has not helped to achieve quality education that neither has it helped retain children at school. Based on the conclusion, the following recommendations were made to that effect- The Government should re-visit the programme and thus, re-arrange the whole programme for the improvement of the quality of Education. That the comparative analysis be made with the successful countries and the same ideas be used to improve UPE here in Uganda. Government should improve infrastructure in UPE schools, adequately monitor and evaluate the programme and should not mix UPE with politics.
