“…Emotionally,schools may fail to support the building of positive student character (Wara et al, 2018).Poor quality teachers contribute to creating learning gaps which makelearning difficult to occur (Reynolds et al, 2017). In Uganda, low remuneration of teachers has impacted greatly on the school environment and student engagement (Elasu et al, 2018) making teachers hate teaching. The school environment may impact students' cognitive engagement by supporting students to investment their time in class activities, learning and self-regulated study (Wara et al, 2018).…”

Using the Mixed method, we examine the relationship between the school environment and student engagement in USE schools in Uganda. Most study participants agree that the environment in USE schools is generally conducive. There isa positive relationship between the school environment and student engagement although this relationship is still low. This means that student engagement in school activities cannot depend on only the school environment. There are a host of other factors that influence student engagement which the school authority needs to know and utilize in order to improve student engagement. Management of USE schools should provide for counseling and guidance services as well as supporting the integration of values in schools. The Government should construct good libraries and provideup-to-date learning materials like textbooks plus any other reading materials. Government shouldalsorecruit experienced and quality teachers into the USE schools, as well as constructing modern science laboratories to support the teaching of science disciplines.
