The National Resistance Movement (NRM) Administration, Uganda’s ruling party, seems schizophrenic in its development and application of policy.
Case in point, regulating school fees, especially of private schools, is inconsistent with the free market neo-liberal economic model favored by the NRM Administration.

Regulating school fees by placing a minimum and a maximum that schools can charge, without taking into consideration the cost of living is counterproductive to education objectives.
