This note presents a review of the
system of funding higher education in Uganda and provides
government and stakeholders with some options for meeting
the twin goals of increasing participation and quality in
higher education, especially in science-related disciplines.
Part I provides an overview of the current situation of
Ugandan higher education. It begins with a brief review of
the country s recent social and political history and
continues on to describe the historical development and
current situation of the country s higher education system.
The final section provides an overview of the current state
of debate about the way forward in improving financing of
higher education in Uganda. In part II, possible solutions
are outlined. The Government of Uganda has two broad policy
goals for higher education. The first is to increase the
number of graduates, especially in the areas of science and
technology. The second is to expand access to universities
to a broader selection of the Ugandan population, allowing
those of lower socio-economic status to benefit as much as
possible from higher education. Policies to achieve both of
these goals are presented in Part II. |
