The government of Uganda, which belongs to East Africa, approved the National Vison Statement, "A transformed Ugandan society from a Peasant to a Modern and Prosperous Country within 30 years". However, the Uganda is facing the problem of unbalanced development between urban and rural area in spite of the government's efforts. In particular, the urban-rural education gap is emerging as a problem that could negatively affect national development plans. In this paper, we explain the reasons why Uganda's urban-rural educational imbalance is accelerating. In addition, we would like to introduce a way to reduce the educational imbalance by using appropriate technology of ICT such as the electronic library system.
