Abstract
The purpose of this study is to look at the perception of the selected individuals
that is gender and persons with disabilities towards the implementation of
affirmative action in the education sector in Kampala-Uganda.
This research used both qualitative and quantitative methods to examine the
policy contributions in the education sector.
The instruments utilised to collect data were questionnaire, interview and
secondary information sources. To report the findings, descriptive statistics
were used. On the whole, the findings indicate that gender and persons with
disabilities are still discriminated even though government states that
affirmative policies have been implemented in the education sector. Hence both
gender and persons with disabilities facing problems like women not being
represented equally with men.
Also persons with disabilities are not considered with facilities needed in the
education sector and still discriminated. As a result, the study provides some
recommendations aimed at redressing the situation where by the government
has to put an independent ministry dealing with the marginalised groups so that
it keeps on monitoring and evaluating these services. Also to make sure that all
facilities are provided for gender and disabilities thus improve on the policy
implementations of affirmative action in the education sector
