mental illness to insanity and prescribed that mentally ill people should be kept away because it envisaged them as dangerous to society. The following related documents are also either complete or in various stages of drafting: the revised Mental Health policy, National Alcohol policy, Tobacco control policy, and the Tobacco Control Bill. Other Measures: Under the Health Sector Strategic and Investment Plan (HSSIP) six regional health centers have been constructed in Masaka, Mbale, Lira, Mubende, Jinja and Moroto in addition to those in Arua, Gulu, Fort portal, Kabale, Soroti, Hoima and Mbarara. All these regional health centers have mental health units which are functional. Butabika Hospital in Kampala remains the only national referral mental health institution in the country but many Districts have now recruited Mental Health Professionals to enable the integration of mental health into their primary health care programs. However the ratio of psychiatrists to the population is still very high at about 1:2,000,000. ARTICLE 17: The Right to Education Legislative and Policy Measures: Article 30 of the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda stipulates that all persons have a right to education. As a matter of policy therefore, Government put a lot of emphasis on mass education through Universal Primary Education {UPE}and Universal Secondary Education {USE}so as to improve literacy levels among Ugandans as opposed to education for a few elite and the ratio between Male: Female has reduced at all levels. In this regard and as earlier observed above, student enrollment has significantly grown at these levels over the years. The Uganda National House hold Survey 2010 revealed that literacy rate among persons aged 10 years and above has increased by 4% from 69% in 2005/2006 to 73% in 2009/2010. The male literacy rate at 79% in 2010 was higher than that for females at 66%. This reflects a similar pattern to the earlier findings of the survey done in 2005/2006. It also revealed that urban household members were more likely to be literate at 88% compared to their counterparts residing in the rural areas at 69%. Other Measures: Government has also taken up the following measures to aid enrollment and retention of pupils in schools.  Holding publicity campaigns to encourage families to treat the girl child as equal to the boys.  Support for the establishment of private schools.  Class room construction, teacher recruitment and gradual pay enhancement. The challenge of inadequate resources still renders the above interventions insufficient.
