Abstract :
The paper was largely undertaken to explore
the impact of educational decentralization on education
service delivery in chosen Local Governments in
Uganda. The results point out to moderate level of
Education Service Delivery in Ugandan Local
Governments (M =2.74, SD = 1.095) with a statistically
significant negative influence of nominal participation on
education service delivery (β = -0.514, p < 0.001). Results
also showed instrumental participation has got a
statistically significant positive influence on Education
decentralization (β = 0.299, p<0.001) with administrative
decentralization has a negative significant influence on
education service delivery (β = -0.264, p = 0.003 < 0.05).
Results also showed instrumental participation has got a
statistically significant positive influence on Education
decentralization (β = 0.299, p<0.001) with administrative
decentralization has a negative significant influence on
education service delivery (β = -0.264, p = 0.003 < 0.05).
The study concluded that education service delivery
remains crucial but with appropriate integration of
administrative decentralization. Henceforth among
others the Ministry of Education and Sports in
partnership with local educational authorities ought to
develop and institutionalize strategies that periodically
strengthen powers of local authorities to allocate
financial resources and as well develop regulatory
controls in public educational institutions for enhanced
education service delivery.
