Contrary to our hypothesis, logistic results revealed that the education variable was negatively related with the log odds of biogas energy adoption, such that the likelihood of adoption of biogas energy decreased with more years of formal education of the household head by a factor of 0.919. One would expect low levels of literacy to hinder effective flow of information for qualitative decision-making regarding an unfamiliar technology. The mean of 11.3 years of formal education implies that on average, heads of household had attained secondary school education. This should be adequate for an individual to make an informed decision regarding the choice of a new technology. These results are contrary to some other adoption studies (Kebede et al., 1990; Brush and Taylor, 1992; Adesina and Baidu-Forson, 1995; Fleke and Zegeye, 2006), which show a positive correlation between education and the probability of adoption. The possible reason for the present results is that the education system in Uganda is less orientated towards hands-on practical training. At higher levels of training, more people opt for administrative and management-biased professions, based mainly in urban areas. Biogas technology is viewed as a technology for the less educated and rural people. A similar finding was reported by Mendola (2007), where educational level of the household head was uncorrelated with the decision to adopt an assortment of selected technologies in Bangladesh.
