The reason behind that low amount of schools receiving the benefit from the foreign aid involves corruption.

Explanation:

Uganda was still recovering from internal issues such as what Idi Amin did to the country as well as the damage he former dictator did in matter of international relations. In 1990 foreign policies were been rebuilt brick for brick as a way to set Uganda back to a developmental process, but elementary education was clearly affected by an aid that never "came" at its fullest because the people from the government at the time had determined that it was better to save that money for themselves.
