A photo of a school-going girl walking back home from school through Makerere University Kampala, Uganda's largest institution of higher learning with a total female student enrollment percentage of 44%.
According to the education ministry, the net enrollment for girls at primary level increased from 82.3% in 2000 to 97.2% as of today.
While that of boys moved from 88.8% for boys in 2000 to 96.3%. Gender parity has grown from 48:51 in 2000 to 50:51 today, a clear vindication of the extra effort put in by the government over the years to boost girl-child education in the country.
