The government is seeking to increase its Budgetary Allocation to the education sector to at least 20 per cent of the National Budget to fund the ever-growing needs of the education system as well as meet set targets, Education minister Silas Lwakabamba has said.
Prof. Lwakabamba was commenting on the resolutions and recommendations adopted following the three-day Unesco-Africa regional conference in Kigali, yesterday.

The call to increase the percentage of Budget Allocation to education had earlier this week been made by former Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard, currently the chairperson of the Global Partnership for Education, at the conference.
Global Partnership for Education is a multi-national endeavour working with 60 developing nations to enable all children including the poorest and most marginalised to attend school and receive a quality education.
