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.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACADEMIC POSITIONSACADEMIC STAFFACCESS TO HIGHER EDUCATIONACCESS TO UNIVERSITIESADDITIONADVANCED DEGREESAGRICULTURAL RESEARCHAPPLIED RESEARCHARTSBASIC REQUIREMENTSBASIC RESEARCHBIOLOGYBLOCK GRANTSBRAIN DRAINBUSINESS COLLEGESBUSINESS SCHOOLCHEMISTRYCLASSROOMCLASSROOMSCOLLEGESCOMPETITIVE SALARIESCOST OF EDUCATIONCOSTS OF EDUCATIONCURRICULACURRICULUMCURRICULUM STANDARDSDEBT AT GRADUATIONDEBT-TO-INCOMEDEBT-TO-INCOME RATIODISADVANTAGED STUDENTSDISCIPLINESECONOMIC GROWTHEDUCATION BUDGETEDUCATION LEVELSEDUCATION POLICIESEDUCATION SECTOREDUCATORSEMPLOYMENTENGINEERINGENROLMENTSEXAMSEXPENDITURESFACULTIESFEE-PAYING STUDENTSFIELDS OF STUDYFINANCIAL REWARDSFORMULA FUNDINGGERGRADUATE DEBTGRADUATE INCOMESGROSS ENROLMENTGROSS ENROLMENT RATIOGROSS ENROLMENT RATIOSHIGH QUALITY HIGHER EDUCATIONHIGHER EDUCATIONHIGHER EDUCATION ENVIRONMENTHIGHER EDUCATION POLICYHIGHER EDUCATION SECTORHIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEMHIGHER LEARNINGHIGHER TUITIONHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMANITIESHUMANITIES PROGRAMSINSTRUCTIONINTRODUCTION OF FEESLABORATORY EQUIPMENTLABOUR MARKETLABOUR MARKET OUTCOMESLEADERSHIPLEARNING OUTCOMESLIBRARIESLISTENINGLOWER SECONDARYMEANINGMINISTERS OF EDUCATIONNATIONAL CURRICULUMOUTCOMES OF EDUCATIONPAPERSPARTICIPATION RATESPHYSICSPOPULATION GROWTHPOST-SECONDARY EDUCATIONPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIMARY SCHOOLSPRIVATE INSTITUTIONSPRIVATE UNIVERSITIESPROFESSORSPUBLIC EDUCATIONPUBLIC EXPENDITURESPUBLIC INSTITUTIONSPUBLIC UNIVERSITIESPUBLIC UNIVERSITYQUALIFIED PERSONNELQUALITY ASSURANCEQUALITY EDUCATIONQUALITY HIGHER EDUCATIONQUALITY OF EDUCATIONQUALITY OF HIGHER EDUCATIONQUALITY SECONDARY SCHOOLSREPAYMENT SYSTEMRESEARCH FINDINGSRESEARCH FUNDINGRESEARCH GRANTSRESEARCH INSTITUTESRESEARCHERSSCHOLARSSCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMSCHOLARSHIPSSCHOOL SYSTEMSCHOOLSSCIENCE CAPACITYSCIENCE COURSESCIENCE COURSESSCIENCE DEGREESSCIENCE LABORATORYSCIENCE LABSSCIENCE PROGRAMSSCIENCE SUBJECTSSCIENTIFIC RESEARCHSCIENTISTSSECONDARY EDUCATIONSECONDARY SCHOOLSECONDARY SCHOOLSSKILLED PERSONNELSOCIAL SCIENCESSPEAKINGSTAFF DEVELOPMENTSTAFF-STUDENT RATIOSSTUDENT AIDSTUDENT BODYSTUDENT COSTSSTUDENT DEBTSTUDENT GRANTSSTUDENT GROUPSSTUDENT LOANSTUDENT LOAN INTERESTSTUDENT LOAN PROGRAMSTUDENT LOAN PROGRAMSSTUDENT LOAN SCHEMESTUDENT LOAN SCHEMESSTUDENT LOANSSTUDENT POPULATIONSTUDENT UNRESTSUBJECTSTEACHERTEACHERSTEACHERS COLLEGESTEACHINGTECHNICAL COLLEGESTECHNICAL EDUCATIONTECHNICAL SKILLSTERTIARY EDUCATIONTERTIARY EDUCATION SECTORTERTIARY INSTITUTIONSTERTIARY LEVELTERTIARY SECTORTUITIONTUITION FEESTUITION PAYMENTSUNDERGRADUATE STUDENTSUNIVERSAL PRIMARY EDUCATIONUNIVERSAL SECONDARY EDUCATIONUNIVERSITIESUNIVERSITY COLLEGEUNIVERSITY GRADUATESUNIVERSITY LEVELUNIVERSITY RESEARCHUNIVERSITY STAFFUNIVERSITY TRAININGUPEVOCATIONAL EDUCATIONVOUCHER SYSTEMYOUNG GRADUATESYOUTHWorld Bank10.1596/12659
