The production of Councils State of Higher Education for the year 2006 has been delayed by a
number of factors. Notably, the methodology of collecting data changed from on the site surveys
by Council staff to mailed questionnaires sent to institutions of higher learning for completion.
Institutions did not respond to Councils requests promptly. Despite that, it is my hope that this
report will be as welcome as the previous one.
The production of this report has been made possible by the work of a number of institutions and
individuals. Council is grateful to the Minister of Education and Sports, the Minister of state for
Higher Education as well as the Permanent Secretary for their support. Council and the Department
of Planning, Ministry of Education and Sports have jointly collected the data of which this report is
a product. In 2005, the Ministry asked Council to be responsible for the collection and processing
of data from all tertiary institutions. This cooperation has been maintained and Council is grateful
for the trust. On a personal level, Council appreciates Mr. Godfrey Datemwa, the Commissioner
Planning Department, Mrs. Elizabeth Gabona, the Commissioner Higher Education, Mr. Albert
Byamugisha, Edward Walugembe, Stephen M. Lule, Vincent Ssozi, Frank Ssenabulya, Agnes Ocii,
Mike Lugedha, Rose Nabbanja, Denis Muliika and Ronald Kabunga for the continued cooperation
they have exhibited in the data collection, entry and the production of this report. May they be
equally disposed in the production of subsequent reports.
I would personally like to thank all members and staff of the National Council for Higher Education
for their untiring effort in this and other Councils tasks. Your efforts, cooperation and dedication is
enabling Council to develop as an effective authority on higher education issues not only in Uganda,
but also East Africa. It is hard to appreciate work done on the 2006 State of Higher Education Report
without mentioning Mr. Martin Iremaut Osikei who designed the survey instrument, collected,
analyzed, typed and supervised the last stages of report reproduction.
I again thank all the people and institutions who made this report possible.

Executive summary
1.0 Executive Summary
1.1 The sub-sector in 2006 at a glance.

Although 2006 saw no dramatic changes in the higher education sub-sector, there were continuities
and changes that policy makers need to make note of. There were minor positive changes in ICT
applications and enrolments in science and technology that are pleasing. But there was a continuing
under-funding of higher education inputs that continued to adversely impact on the delivery
of quality higher education, reductions in middle level institutions in favour of unfacilitated
universities and a continuing loss of academic staff through brain drain and early retirements at age
sixty. The following are the observations for 2006 that the National Council has noted:
1.1.1 Institutions
The total number of institutions went down from 157 to 139. The major causes of the drop were the
transformations of middle level tertiary institutions into universities, failure of owners to continue
funding some institutions (e.g. the National Teachers Colleges) and interventions of the National
Council for Higher Education against sub-standard tertiary institutions. Most of the institutions
were located in the central region (47%), western (24%), eastern (20%) northern (9%).
1.1.2 Enrolment
There was no dramatic change in enrolments. Enrolments grew by only 9.4% from 124313 in
2005 to 137,190 in 2006. However, enrolments in science and technology continued to rise at an
approximate rate of 5% from 28,852 in 2005 to 37,739 in 2006; thanks to the government policy of
focusing on disciplines key to national development. But the majority of private institutions were
still cherry picking easy and cheap-to-offer programmes of Humanities and Arts and therefore
did not have science and technology students. If they invest in these disciplines, the percentage
of science and technology enrolment would reach the critical 40 50% required for managing
modernized societies.
1.1.3 Programme relevance

In 2006, the total number of programmes dropped to 1,774 from 1,899 in 2005. The phenomenon of
duplication of programmes still persists and has not been squarely addressed although through the
exercise of self-evaluation it is hoped that institutions will address this question. The programmes
offered do not place Uganda on the international market and do not make higher education a
sustainable export product for Uganda. The relevance of programmes offered is still questionable
and too oen they are theoretical. Memorisation rather than problem solving was the preferred
and widespread method of education delivery in 2006. A serious effort to have internships with the
labour market and practical training in the world of work will have to be made immediately. It is
imperative for higher education institutions and the economy, to develop mechanisms for continuous
and sustainable interface between institutions, R & D and the market. Tracer studies were not being
done to establish what is marketable and to adjust programmes accordingly. Business and industry
were not fully participating in training because current laws are believed not favour those who host
internship students.
1.1.4 Research and Publications

Most of the research was linked with the pursuance of higher degrees and not many people pursued
disinterested research in the higher education system. Generally speaking, the level of research was
low across the higher education spectrum, partly because of inadequate funding. The universities
are not fully fulfilling their knowledge creation functions.

1.1.5 Academic staff

The number of academic staff grew faster in 2006 than in 2005 but remained below NCHE standards.
From 5,258 it increased to 6,465, which represents a growth of 1,207 individuals. Of the total staff,
746 were PhD holders. 98% of PhD holders and 81% of masters holders were in the universities.
The staff/student ratio of 1:24 was a setback compared to 2005 (1:22) in the previous year. But
student numbers grew faster than academic staff; despite the growth of staff numbers. It is vital
that quality and sufficiency of the academic staff match the expected outcomes of an institution of
higher learning.
The number of full-time staff dropped from 3,311 in 2005 to 2,999 in 2006. This figure represents
only 45% of the total number of academic staff. Part-time staff represent too high a figure and oen
they do not participate in core activities of institutions. This is sad. It is pleasing to note that various
institutions of higher learning recognise the need for staff development and some 1064 academic
staff were on training programmes of different types. This was an improvement compared to the
935 in 2005.
1.1.6 Infrastructure
In 2006, there was no marked improvement in the physical infrastructure of most institutions,
especially public institutions. Non-university institutions saw an improvement but this was due to the fact
that a number of them either closed or had low enrolment leaving ample space unused. Unfortunately
in most public institutions, the lecture, laboratory and dormitory spaces are inadequate and too old
to create an environment conducive to learning. A serious anomaly rests in the fact that welfare
components of education took more funds than core academic items or infrastructure developments
in 2006.
1.1.7 Education facilities

Since 2005, access to computer facilities, books and other learning materials has improved but are
still far from reaching ratios comparable to world standards. In absolute figures, it is noted that the
number of individuals in the sub-sector accessing computers has risen from 5511 in 2005 to 7627 in
2006, which means that more than 50% of staff and students have access to these machines. More
institutions were connected to the web by email (113 in 2006 compared to 97 in 2005). Unfortunately,
the student book ratio dropped from 23 books per student to 19. But one should not forget the
possibility of accessing electronic reading materials which has brought indirectly a greater access to
reading. If this was so in 2006, it is pleasing but we are not sure if this was the case.
8.8.8 Financing of higher education

Higher education in Uganda is financed by the government, the private sector and donor agencies.
Government institutions have access to international donor and lender agencies. Private institutions
derive most of their income from fees. Although public and private institutions have improved in
allocation priorities of their funds and in transparency in financial management, a lot more needs
to be done. Financial managers were not using modern methods of accounting thus creating a
situation where errors or mischiefs could occur. Further, many institutions have not calculated unit
costs to know the gap between received income and cost.
1.1.9 Governance
Generally speaking, governance of institutions is improving. The role of the NCHE is more and
more accepted and the Secretariat was always in a beer position to advise institutions on this
maer. But there were a number of governance disruptions in form of strikes, misinterpretations of
the law and problems arising out of contradictions of some parts of the law.

Executive summary
1.2 Recommendations
To improve the delivery of quality higher education, the National Council for Higher Education
recommends the following to stakeholders:
i. Popularise other tertiary (non-university) institutions to produce people who build, mend
and repair nations.
ii. Stakeholders, investors and the state should not kill or transform diploma awarding tertiary
institutions, especially technical ones, into universities. Instead new structures should be
constructed for new universities. The country needs more middle level workers in the
tourism, building, engineering, industrial, agricultural, medical and other sectors than
degree holders.
iii. The private sector and the state should be encouraged to set up or establish institutions
of higher learning in the North and East of Uganda where such institutions are very few
compared to the central and western Uganda.
iv. Enrolment in science and technology programmes should be increased by policy action to
50% of total tertiary enrolment. Secondly, Uganda should not rest until it has registered a
gross enrolment ratio of 40%. Currently, it is only about 4.1%. These figures (i.e GER of 50%
and science and technology of at least 40% in the relevant Science and Technology areas) are
essential for modernization to start.
v. Institutional managers should be trained in the collection, storage and management of data
of various types of information. Sound policy can only be made if correct data is available.
vi. Female students should be encouraged to take science and technology programmes.
vii. The interface between institutions and the private sector should be developed and intensified
for purposes of producing relevant curriculum and producing useable research outputs.
viii. Research funds should be raised to at least 5% of the budgets of universities, public and
private. Universities that are not doing research are no more than glorified high schools.
ix. Remunerations of academic staff should be improved and retirement age raised to 70 years
to enhance staff retention capacity for the higher education sub-sector.
x. Welfare activities for students should be le to the private sector to manage and the saved
money put on core academic items.
xi. A comprehensive study should be carried out to establish the unit cost per programme so
that the realistic cost for higher education is known. This should be done regularly.
xii. A Loan Scheme should be established to raise fees for the able but poor students
xiii. The Ministry of Education and Sports should raise the level of funds for Tertiary Education
sub-sector in the MTEF from 9 15% to 25% of the education sector budget.

2.0 Methodology
The success of 2005 survey, which was done using the resources of the NCHE showed that
sustainability of data collection and reporting amidst meagre budgets, although it affects the quality
of data, is possible. This is Councils third report of the status of higher education. The first, funded
by Rockefeller Foundation was published in 2004 and gave baseline data for subsequent surveys.
Council is grateful to the Foundation for the grant. The 2005 survey of higher education institutions,
funded from own limited funding, was a continuation of the 2004 survey exercise. The 2006 survey
was carried out using an approach similar to that of 2005 with slight variation. The variation arose
from the poor data submissions on the side of institutions through mailed questionnaires.
2.1 Methods of data collection
Like the 2005 survey, Council could not afford to send data collectors to the field and, accordingly,
maintained the following cost effective strategies with slight variation in line with its limited
budget:
a) Primary source
Self-administered structured questionnaire:
The questionnaire with explanatory notes was sent to institutions by courier, by e-mail and also
loaded on our website. Council and the Department of Planning, Ministry of Education and Sports
developed the questionnaires jointly. Completed questionnaires, filled by top administrative officers
and endorsed by heads of institutions, were to be submied to NCHE within 4-6 months of their
despatch. The scheduled submission period was from June to September 2005. Where necessary,
Council conducted physical institutional visitations to verify the questionnaire data.
There was a very poor response on this as almost 60% of the institutions did not submit data returns.
The reasons for failure varied from one institution to the other. Some claimed they did not receive the
questionnaire; some misplaced and did not bother to get another copy. Other institutions thought
they were not supposed to submit data since they had done it the previous year; while others could
not be located or had closed down. In most public tertiary institutions a common problem was due
to staff transfers.
Because of the above problems experienced, Council dispatched staff physically to all regions to
ensure that data from the 60% of the institutions that had not returned the questionnaires was
collected.
b) Secondary sources
Progress reports:
In addition, institutions submit quarterly progress reports to the Council. These provided secondary
sources of data, used to supplement and enrich data from other sources.
Data from inspections and visitations:
Another secondary source of data was reports submied to NCHE Quality Assurance Commiee.
This was also a useful source of information for this 2006 institutional survey report. All these have
been analysed to determine the state of higher education in Uganda and to gauge each institutions
capacity to deliver quality education on a continuous and sustainable basis.
2.2 Instruments of data collection

The structured questionnaire was still a major data collection instrument. It had the following
advantages;

Methodology
The data collection instrument used accommodated the specific needs and interests of the
Ministry, NCHE and other stakeholders
The instrument had a joint statement on the top of first page, informing all higher education
institutions that there would be a single data collection instrument for the Council and the
Ministry.
Ease of distribution; the methods used were by courier, e-mail and through the Councils
website.
Heads of institutions were expected to endorse and return to the Council duly completed
data collection questionnaires, keeping copies for their records and reference.
The data collection questionnaire was discussed and adopted by both the MOES Planning
Department and the NCHE. The questionnaire will be reviewed annually by both parties to take
into account the changing statistics needs of all stakeholders.
2.3 Timing of data collection

The data collection instrument was circulated to higher education institutions by April 2006 and
the duly completed questionnaire was to be returned between June and September 2006. Originally,
data verification, entry, cleaning and processing were planned to take place between September and
October 2006. Data analysis was projected to be over by the end of November and report writing,
production and dissemination by the end of December 2006. This however, did not happen as
planned due to the delays caused by the problems mentioned above. There was a general delay in
all activities and they were done between March and June 2007, aer a substantial amount of data
was collected. It is hoped that, institution heads will in future abide by the timing of these activities
to ensure timely reporting.
2.4 Limitations, problems encountered and success rate
As already hinted, the institutions did not respond promptly as planned. Of the 155 institutions to
which the questionnaires were sent, only 39 or (25%) responded within stipulated time. On responses
however, many institution heads seemed to have delegated the processing of the questionnaires to
officers who were either new or less informed as seen by factual gaps, inconsistencies, uncertainties
and crossing of entered data. This necessitated verifying the information of affected institutions by
telephones and physical visits. Some institutions provided the data in the formats not consistent
with the questionnaire design or simply printed their databases with no value addition. Furthermore
some institutions filled the questionnaire selectively; they did not provide vital information in areas
like; expenditure, sources of funding, staff by ages, student enrolment by ages, etc.
The overall success rate in data collection however, was 139 out of 148 institutions (or94%) unlike
previous year where only 75% submied. The analysis, findings and the overall conclusions of
this report were based on 139 institutions and represent the state of higher education in 2006.
Nevertheless, future surveys should address this limitation, to achieve a much higher, if not 100%,
success rates. This calls for greater co-operation from all higher education institutions.
2.5 Data verification, entry and analysis
With data entry support from the MOES, data analysis took place from mid May to the mid June
2007, a process that had to contend with the above-mentioned challenges of data accuracy and
completeness. Report writing started late July 2007 and was completed in early August.

2.6 Expected survey outputs
The expected outputs of the 2006 survey of higher education institutions were to;
establish changes that had taken place since the 2005 survey
update data on student enrolment (including enrolment by gender), new institutions,
academic qualifications of staff at each level, and staff development;
assess institutional financial status and sustainability; and
update data on student enrolment in science/technology programmes and on the use of
ICTs,
and provide continuous supply of general information to policy makers, stakeholders and
general public at large.
It is our hope that heads of institutions will improve on the levels of record keeping and provision
of data requested in timely manner so that timely reporting and effective use of disseminated
information can be achieved.

Higher education institutions
3.0 Higher Education institutions in 2006
3.1 Introduction
Higher Education Institutions are education organizations that offer post advanced level school
programmes to students. They are institutions where students are expected not only to acquire
knowledge but also to contribute in producing it as well as developing their critical faculties. In
Uganda, the word higher education and tertiary are used interchangeably. In 2006, there were
148 such institutions, nine less than the previous year.Data was received from 139 institutions as
summarised in Table 3.1.

The majority of these institutions were colleges of commerce 48 (or 34.5%) followed by universities
26 (or 18.7%). In the category of universities, 21 (or 81%) were privately owned and 5 (or 19%) were
public. Health institutions which were fieen in number (or 10.8%) were a distant third.

3.2.2 Enrolments in universities

Universities continued to aract the majority of enrolment. As Table 4.3 and appendix 4.3 show,
these institutions registered 67.5% of the total tertiary i.e. 92,605 of 137,190 up from 62.9% in 2005.
The majority of students in universities were studying Arts/Humanities 79.0% (73,204) compared to
science and technology 21.0% (or 19,401). Students and parents prefer universities no maer what
programmes are studied.
3.3 The Other Tertiary Institutions.
Other Tertiary Institutions or non-university higher education institutions made up 81.3% of the
tertiary sub-sector. But they registered only 32.5% of students of the tertiary sub-sector. However,
the majority of them did not offer key programmes of science ad technology. Technical colleges
which produce the middle level skilled personnel needed to build and repair the nation were a mere
4.3% of the sub-sector (i.e. six institutions only).
Table 3.1 indicate that there were:

It is unfortunate to report that non-university tertiary institutions are not the preferred destinations
of most students. Most of those admied do so aer failing to be admied into the universities. It
is our hope that when NCHE institutes a credit system to ease the mobility of students amongst
institutions and programmes, non-university institutions will become more popular. However, the
credit system without positive social aitude change towards graduates of these institutions may
not resolve the problem.

3.5 Changes that took place in 2006
The year 2006 saw a number of changes amongst institutions. First of all, there was a further
killing and transformation of other tertiary institutions into universities. A number of public
colleges in the east of the country lost or are in the process of losing their institutionality to
form the new public university at Busitema. Uganda National Technical College at Masaka is being
closed to form, or to become a part of Muteesa I Royal University. National College, Ngea became
a Uganda Martyrs University study centre. Ombachi Management Vocational Institute was taken
over by the Nile University Project. Earlier on, the National Teachers College Kakoba became
Bishop Stuart University. Institutions that were transformed into universities especially the public
ones were only changed in name. The facilities and staff of those institutions were not upgraded to
match the institutional names they acquired, for example the Kyambogo cluster of institutions that
are called a university have the same facilities as they had before.
The trend of phasing out institutions that should produce the middle level personnel needed for the
building and repairing of the nation is worrying. The transformation of the Uganda Polytechnic into
part of Kyambogo University not only deprived the tertiary technical institutions of leadership but
also led to an aitudinal down-grading of non-degree technical programmes within the institution.
Council will work with the government and stakeholders to halt this trend. The country needs at
least twice as many workers as it does managers.
The third trend noticeable in 2006 was the closure, or the failure to operate, of a number of institutions.
The process of closing Namasagali University by Council is about to reach a conclusion. A number
of National Teachers Colleges that the government could not fund either closed or transformed to
deliver other types of programmes (Table 3.3). These included Ngea, Nkozi and Masindi. Yet other
institutions closed due to a variety of factors. These included Makerere Institute of Management, Makerere
Institute of Administrative Management and Transcontinental Institute of Management. The overall effect of
these changes was the reduction of institutions from 157 in 2005 to 148 in 2006.

3.6 Ownership of institutions

The private sector owned 98 institutions (or 66.2%) and the government (public) 50 (or 33.8%).
However, in terms of the size of institutions as measured by enrolment, capitalization and structures,
the government was far ahead of the private sector. In 2006, as pointed out, both government and
private institutions shrunk in terms of number, the government by 1.9% and the private sector by
6.7%. The overall reduction was 5.7% over 2005 levels (Table 3.4)
Table 3.4: Higher education institutions ownership

Public 53 34.2 52 33 50 33.8 -1.9
Private 102 66.8 105 67 98 66.2 -6.7
Total 155 157 148 -5.7
3.7 Regional distribution of institutions
The majority of institutions 70 (or 47%) are found in the central region followed by Western 36 (or
24%), Eastern 29 (or 20%) and Northern 13 (or 9%) as shown in Table 3.5). Of the Universities, 13
or 50% are in the Central, 6 or 23% in the Eastern, 5 or 19% in the Western and 2 or 8% are in the
Northern region. With two technical colleges, the Western region has 50% of these institutions
and the Central, aer closing Masaka Technical College, has no tertiary technical college. The
closure of the technical college at Masaka by the owners did not serve the long-term interests of the

central region. It is clear that the Eastern and Northern regions are not well supplied with tertiary
institutions.

3.8 Illegal institutions

Council regrets that some institutions, especially on-line ones, are operating outside the law. In
law, all institutions not licensed are illegal. However, in presenting the data on the state of higher
education, illegal institutions have been included because:
They are on the ground with enrolled students;
Some of them aain legal status in due course; and,
Originally under the Universities and Other Tertiary Institutions Act 2001, the Council did
not have sufficient powers to close these illegal institutions.
However, the recent amendment of sections of the Act in 2006 and the growing public support for
law and order in the higher education sector have strengthened the Council to enforce institutional
compliance with law in the interests of all stakeholders and the country as whole. The Council is
confident that with time it will build the capacity to ensure that no higher education institution
operates outside the existing legal framework. This capacity can only be built with adequate
funding of the Council, training of staff, educating the public on the role of a regulator and effective
communication.
3.9 Conclusions to section 3.0

i. The number of tertiary institutions fell from 157 in 2005 to 139 in 2006. A number of Other
tertiary institutions were transformed into universities, some closed due to the drying up of
funding while others were closed due to failure to meet required standards.
ii. Private institutions are still avoiding investment in science and technology. They are cherry
picking cheap-to-offer programmes.
iii. Regional distribution of institutions still favours the central, western and eastern regions. The
Northern region is still occupying a very distant last.

Enrolment
4.0 Enrolment in higher education institutions
4.1 Total enrolment

Like the previous year, Council has not been able to get accurate, well organized and up to date data
from institutions. It is clear that most managers of our institutions of higher learning do not have
the skills to collect, organize and disseminate data. Whatever this report gives will, therefore, have
a margin of error. We, however, believe that the size of the margin of error is no more than 10%.
The total enrolment in Ugandas tertiary institutions in 2006 was 137,190, of whom 79,469 (or 55.3%)
were male and 57,721 (or 44.7%) were female. Of these 124,260 (or 91%) were Ugandans and 12,930
(or 9%) were foreign students (Table 4.1 and Appendix 4.1).
Table 4.1: Total enrolment summary for 2006

71,310 52,950 124,260 8,150 4,780 12,930 79,469 57,721 137,190
Although the number of institutions decreased by 5.7% (Table 3.1), the number of students increased
from 124,313 in 2005 to 137,190 in 2006, a growth of 9.4% (Table 4.3). The uneven growth of the sub-
sector could, at a quick glance, be a cause for worry (Table 4.2). However, the inability of institutions
to properly collect, organize and disseminate data could be the cause of the variations in enrolment
growth from 2001 to 2006. One could say that the average rate of growth in that period has been
about 10-15%. Table 4.2 and Graph 1 show enrolment trends from the 1970s to 2006.

4.2 Coverage
Coverage refers to the number of people in the population who access (i.e. actually receive) higher
education. Using the figure of total Ugandan students of 124,260, the gross enrolment ratio (that is

the number of students accessing higher education as a percentage of the total population of official
school age for that level) the figure is the same as last year (i.e. approximately 4.1%). Even if the
figure of 12,930 foreign students is added, the change would be minimal. This country needs to
improve its gross enrolment ratio to 40% if we are to approach the gates of a modernized society.
Ugandas standing in the league table of 4.1% is far below the 17.4% for the world average, 19.4% in
Latin America, 14% of Arab States, 34% of countries in transition; 50.7% for most of Europe; 42.1%
of Asia/Oceania; 80.7% of North America and 62% of most developed nations. Further, registered
students need to be studying subjects critical to economic and social development if the country is to
develop. These are mainly science and technology subjects.
4.3 Enrolment by category

The number of students registered in universities has continued to climb at the expense of Other
Tertiary Institutions for the last three years i.e. 58.9% in 2004, 62.9% in 2005 and 67.5% in 2006. In
2006, 92,605 or 67.5% of students were registered in Universities, 10,997 or 8% in National Teachers
Colleges, 1,980 or 1.4% in a Technical Institution (which recorded a decrease from 1.7%), 3,132 or
2.3% in Health Institutions, 18,181 or 13.3% in Commerce/ Business Institutions, 4,156 or 3% in
Management Institutions, 1,098 or 0.8% in Theological Institutions, 143 or 0.1% in Hotel/Tourism
Institutions, 328 or 0.2% in Co-operative Institutions, 1,476 or 1.1% in Media Institutions, 1,651 or
1.2% in Agriculture/Forestry Colleges, 39 in Meteorological Colleges, 800 or 0.6% in Law Institutions
and 604 or 0.4% in various Study Centres (Table 4.3).
Besides the over-emphasis that students and parents put on university education at the expense
of other tertiary programmes, the sad trend was the continuing neglect of technical education as
well as of the Hotel/Tourism sectors. Unless this country changes its aitudes, we shall continue
importing skilled labour to work on our roads, in our factories, hotels and tourist resorts.

4.4 Enrolment per discipline (programme)

As was the case in the previous year, student enrolment in science and technology has maintained
an annual growth of 5% from 23.3% (28,852) in 2005 to 27.5% (37,739) in 2007 (Table 4.3 and graph
4.2) This sustained increased enrolment bodes well for the future development of the country. A
country needs a minimum of 40-50% registration in relevant areas of science & technology and a
gross enrolment ratio of at least 40% in order to economically take off and participate in the global
knowledge based economy. Government intervention of sponsoring students studying subjects
key to economic development has contributed to this positive development. Enrolments in Arts
and Humanities are still high. The annual drop of 5% in registration in these disciplines in the last
three years was equal to the rise in science and technology in the same period. Arts and Humanities
enrolments dropped from 76.7% (95,461) in 2005 to 72.5% (99,451) in 2006. The government should
continue with its affirmative policy for science and technology until the two areas balance at 50%

Enrolment
each. At that point, stakeholders should meet to decide a way forward.

Graph 4.2: Enrolment by discipline (2004-2006) trend
4.5 Enrolment by gender

In 2006 there was a one percent increase in the number of female students in our tertiary sector from
40.7% (50,587) in 2005 to 42.1% (57,721) in 2006 (Table 4.4, appendix 4.1 and graph 4.3). The greatest
number of females were in universities, commerce/business institutions and teachers colleges.
They are not well represented in technical colleges and the hard sciences and technology disciplines
except in meteorological disciplines where 24 (or 61.5%) of the 39 students were female.

4.6 Enrolment by nationality

The number of foreign students increased by 7% from 7,735 (6.2%) in 2005 to 12,930 (9.4%) in 2006
(Table 4.5 and appendix 4.1). Most of these foreign students are in universities around Kampala.
Most foreign students come from Kenya, Sudan, Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi. Foreign students
can be a source of revenue to the host country and if the quality of institutions is improved, revenue
from it could be an additional source of capital inflow (see Bakunda and Walusimbi Mpanga, 2005).
It was reported that in 2004/5 Uganda obtained $30.7 m from education services (New Vision, July
20, 2007 page 2). If correct, this made education the fourth highest external earner aer remitences
by Uganda nationals $ 500m, coffee $170m, fish 143m and coon $28m. Again, our institutions
need to organize their data so that the true situation can be ascertained for us to track this revenue
source.

Enrolment

i. The increase in enrolment in 2006 over the 2005 of 9.4% was not spectacular. It did not shi
the gross enrolment ratio significantly. This still stands at 4-5% of relevant tertiary eligible
students.
ii. Enrolments in science and technology have continued to rise at an average percentage of 5%,
thanks to government policy.
iii. The number of foreign students increased from 6.2% to 13% of total registration. As these
bring in money and are likely to be one of the most viable exports, the country should beer
invest in education to improve the aractiveness of our institutions.
iv. Registrations in key middle level technical institutions is still depressingly low meaning the
economy is not being supplied with the required middle-skilled person power.

5.0 Academic programmes
5.1 Introduction
The higher education sub-sector offers a variety of academic and practical programmes. The total
number of programmes in 2006 dropped to 1,774 from 1,899 in 2005 (Table 5.1, appendix 5.1.a and
appendix 5.1.b). Council is yet to survey the cause of this contraction.

While non-university tertiary institutions offer programmes that lead to the award of diplomas
and certificates, universities cover a multiplicity of academic programmes at the undergraduate
and graduate levels. Public universities have more diversified programmes, including those in
science and technology, which require a heavier investment in equipment and faculty, than private
ones. The problem of programmes duplication that was reported in 2004 and 2005 persisted in
2006 and has not been addressed. Another problem was that in 2006, as in 2005, universities were
still unwilling or unable to offer new, innovative and challenging programmes. Further, private
universities were either unable or unwilling to invest in necessary but expensive programmes based
on science and technology such as medicine, engineering, agriculture, veterinary or basic sciences
but offered the arts and humanities instead.
Moreover, the higher education sub-sector is not integrated or diversified. Each institution seemed
inclined to operate in isolation, quite oblivious to the academic programmes being offered in sister
institutions. This closed higher education system continues to deny students flexibility and
mobility amongst institutions and disciplines, as well as making informed academic programme
choices while pursuing their higher education.
5.2 Content and diversity
The academic programmes offered in 2006 gave students limited choices to make informed
decisions in line with their career ambitions. As shown in Table 4.3 about 72.5% of the enrolled
students in higher education institutions were in the arts/humanities compared to 27.5% for science
and technology. Although this is an improvement over the last three years, it still fall short of the
60:40 ratio that experts consider critical for sustainable development or economic take off. Take the
case of agriculture, which is still the largest employing sector of Uganda and the principal source
of livelihoods of over 80% of the population. In 2005 only 2.6% of the students who enrolled in

Academic programmes
higher education institutions took agriculture at certificate level, 1.7% at diploma level, 4.4% at
bachelors level, very few at postgraduate diploma level, 6.9% at masters level and 5% at PhD level.
In the following year (2006), the situation did not improve for only 1,865 students registered for
agriculture; 60 for masters, 990 for bachelors, 536 for diplomas and 279 for certificates. These figures
are too low for a country whose mainstay is agriculture. In contrast the humanities, business and
management programmes had the largest share of students. The steady progress of the numbers of
students registered in science and technology is good news but the negligible percentage of 1.4 % of
total registered in tertiary technical colleges is a cause for worry.

5.3 Curriculum relevance

Most of the programmes were academic and literary of no apparent or immediate relevance to the
evolving Ugandan job market. Memorisation rather than problem solving was the preferred and
most widespread method of education delivery. Where the problem solving methods of pedagogy
were introduced, there was resistance against the new methods. Institutions have not out-grown
the civil service-driven production methodology of the 1960s. And yet there is a compelling case
for re-aligning higher education provision to the rapidly changing demands of the knowledge-
based global and domestic markets, which are increasingly driven by the private sector. For 2006,
as was the case for the 2005 survey, it is clear that there are few forward and backward reciprocal
linkages between the worlds of business and industry and academia. It is imperative for higher
education institutions and the economy, including R & D and the market, to develop mechanisms
for continuous and sustainable interface between them. Few institutions have bothered to carry
out tracer studies to establish what is marketable and to adjust or even overhaul their programmes
accordingly. On their part, business and industry should be proactive in higher education provision
by sponsoring programmes relevant to their labour needs in the short, medium and lung-run
instead of importing skilled labour.
5.4 Academic programmes by schedule

One area that Ugandan institutions have responded to are the needs of the market in form of
identifying target students. The sector is becoming more flexible in the time they deliver higher
education in order to aract students. Institutions no longer open their classes only during the
traditional daytime shis. They now teach in the evenings, over the weekends and during holidays
in order to respond to the increasing hunger for higher education by Ugandans of various ages and
professions. Working people in need of improving their education status, married spouses who had
dropped out of school for family reasons and those who did not aend tertiary institutions during
the relevant 17-25 years of age, are returning to universities and colleges. Table 5.3 shows that in
2006, some 58% of the programmes (1,032) were offered during the day, up from 56% in 2005, 26%
(454) during the evening, just as in 2005, 6% (103) by long distance and 10% (185) during week-
ends.

5.5 Research
Most of the academic research in higher education takes place in universities. Most of the
postgraduate academic programmes combine course work and research. Postgraduate students are
required to conduct research as part-fulfilment of Masters degree awards. PhD programmes which
require students to produce dissertations, focus on research and the production of a dissertation.
There are not many people pursuing disinterested search for the truth in the whole higher education
system. However, for some institutions, including universities, research either does not exist or
is tangential to academic programmes. The level of research is generally low across the higher
educational spectrum, partly because of inadequate funding. Ugandas Strategic Plan for Higher
Education, requires all universities to devote a mandatory percentage of their budgets to research.
Research programmes at student and academic staff level depend on funding from government and
development agencies such as DFID, NORAD, SIDA, USAID etc., The Makerere University Faculty of
Technology, for example, ha been receiving funds for research from SIDA/SARED, NUFU Norway,
the Italian government, Carnegie Corporation of New York and the Rockefeller Foundation.
Similarly, the Rockefeller Foundation has funded research in the ongoing decentralization process.
Some of the universities, especially Makerere University, have been doing research on a wide range
of subjects both on their own and in collaboration with external universities.
5.6 Challenges to the delivery of quality higher education

The implementation of academic programmes has been hampered by financial constraints, bad
governance, outdated curricula, institutional inability to recruit and retain qualified staff and
the lack of adequate and appropriate instructional materials and inadequate physical facilities.
Programmes that require practical training lack laboratory materials and equipment. Most science
and technology students find it difficult to complete their programme and receive a lot more
theoretical than practical training. Unless the issue of financing of the sub-sector is addressed in a
comprehensive manner, the quality of higher education will continue to deteriorate.
The National Council for Higher Education has now put in place a Quality Assurance Framework,
consisting of the following components:
i. The regulatory components which cover: (a) institutional accreditation, (b) accreditation of
programmes, (c) merit-based admission of students to institutions of higher learning, (d)
credit accumulation and transfer system, (e) research and publications, (f) staff development,
(g) minimum requirements for courses and programmes, (h) examination regulations and
awards standardization, (i) students assessment of their academic staff and (j) physical
infrastructures.
ii. Measures for Quality Assurance at the level of the institutions consist of institutional audits
and their criteria. These criteria concern: (a) institutional governance, (b) the quality of
teaching and learning, (c) the quality of the academic staff, (d) the sufficiency of education
facilities, (e) research and publication, (f) the quality of outputs, (g) the institutions financial
management, (h) the university and the community.

Academic programmes
5.7 Co-operative education, internship or market aachments
There are a few traditional programmes where students are required to get a market aachment or
internship before graduating. These have included medicine, teaching, law and management. We
have not yet done a thorough survey to identify which institutions and programmes expose students
to market aachment as part of their study. A number of companies consulted feel that they cannot
subsidize interns and would be willing to co-operate if institutions paid for all the costs of training
the students on aachment/ internship. The National Council for Higher Education believes
that market aachments are good components of training students whatever the discipline.
Government, education institutions and industry should work together to frame a conducive legal
framework to facilitate student aachments to the workplace.
a. Most academic programmes are still theoretical. Few institutions demand market placement/
internship as a component of study programmes.
b. The content and diversity of programmes are improving thanks to increasing use of ICT in
the education delivery. But teaching methods are still largely staff centred. Where institutions
have changed to students based or problem based learning (PBL), there has been some
resistance due to fear of loss of presumed teacher prestige and control.
c. Few universities are funding research adequately. Therefore not much new or cuing edge
knowledge is being created in Ugandan universities.
d. With the completion of the National Council for Higher Education Quality Assurance
Framework, the sub-sector is set to implement a quality assurance mechanism starting from
2006/07.
e. The scheduling of classes by institutions to suit various students/consumers has been a

success. Most universities now have classes during the day, evening and weekends. It is hoped
Other Tertiary Institutions will do the same, however, it is necessary to ensure that increases
in programmes and consequent increase in enrolment is met with enhanced capacity.

6.0 Academic staff in higher education institutions
6.1 Introduction
As stated in previous reports, the quality of an academic higher institution of learning depends, to
a large extent, on the quality of its academic staff. Academic staff are the key personnel responsible
for teaching as well as knowledge creation through research, debate, storage and dissemination
(through various ways such as publications). It is, therefore, vital that the quality and sufficiency of
academic staff match the expected outcomes of an institution of higher learning.
6.2 Number of academic staff in 2006
The total number of academic staff in Ugandas tertiary institutions grew faster in 2006 than in the
period covered by the 2005 report. Total academic staff increased from 5,258 to 6,465, a growth of
1,207 individuals (Table 6.1 and Appendix 6.1). This was an impressive growth. Of the 6,465 staff,
746 had PhD (up from 558 the previous year).

6.3 Distribution of the academic staff
Table 6.2 and Appendix 6.1 show the distribution of academic staff by qualifications and institutional
categories. The universities had the lions share of highly qualified staff. Some 684 (92%) of PhD
holders and 2,140 (81%) of masters holders were in the universities. The number of PhD holders
in universities dropped from 93% in 2005 to 92% in 2006. Theological institutions with 25 (3.2 %)
PhD holders was a distant second followed by management institutes with 20 (3%) PhD holders.
Colleges of commerce, agriculture and broad-based study centres, national teachers colleges, health,
media, etc., had masters holders ranging from twenty to sixty each with a few PhDs in a few cases.

6.4 Adequacy of the academic staff
Table 6.3 and Appendix 6.3 show the academic staff/student ratios of the different categories of higher
education institutions. The ideal (1:15), good (1:20), acceptable (1:25) can be improved (1:40) or unacceptable
(1:50 and above) general staff/student ratios. In 2006 the overall tertiary staff/student ratio of 1:24 was a
setback against the one of 2005 (1:22) see statutory instrument 2005, No. 80, schedule 4. Although this ratio
was generally acceptable, it did not reflect the big differences across disciplines. Arts and humanities in
universities had high, worrying staff/student ratios. The staff/student ratios of national teachers colleges
and technical colleges fell short of acceptable levels. Amongst the universities, the ratios of Makerere
and Kyambogo (1:33), and Nkumba (1:32) were far below the national average and were not good
enough for the delivery of sustainable quality education. The staff/student ratio for MUBS of 1:47
was even worse. Accordingly, these being premier institutions should do much more to improve
their ratios to at least NCHE acceptable levels through staff recruitment and retention.

6.5 Academic staff resignations at Makerere University by faculty; 2000-2006

There are many staff who leave the academic staff especially in the key areas of science and
technology. Their flight is due to a number of factors including aligning the terms of academic
staff with the civil service terms (whereas universities are universal institutions comparable only
to themselves) poor pay, early retirement age etc. Table 6.5 shows an example of staff registration
history at one institution, Makerere.

6.6 Availability of academic staff (full-time and part-time)
The number of full-time staff dropped from 3,311 in 2005 to 2,999 in 2006. In 2006 full-time academic
staff constituted only 45% (Table 6.4 and Appendix 3) of all members. This represents a drop of 15%.
However, according to the vice-chancellors, many full-time academic members of staff spread their
hands thin on the ground by teaching at more than one institution. Despite their usefulness, part-
time staff do not participate in core activities of institutions. This lack of commied service and
loyalty to one institution impacts negatively on the delivery of quality education and commitment
to the realisation of institutional visions and missions.
In order to improve academic staffing in higher education institutions to acceptable levels, it is

necessary to:
i. Increase benefits to aract and retain staff;
ii. Treat the academic profession differently with flexible terms of service regarding mandatory
retirement, single spine salary structures, merit and experience-based promotions, etc.;
iii. Aract eminent professors from around the world to tap their academic experience and
reputations;
iv. Hike the retirement age to 70 years to aract seasoned staff. On this maer, a number of
universities in the region have raised the retirement age: Egerton 65, Kenyaa 74, Moi 65,
Mbarara 65, Dayster and UMU 65. We hope the remaining universities realise that academics are
employed for their knowledge not their age.

6.7 Academic staff training and development
In 2006, some1,064 academic staff were under training or upgrading compared to 935 in 2005 (Table
6.5 and appendix 6.5). Some 738 (or 69%) of these were university staff. At least 322 or (30%) were
pursuing PhD related studies while the rest were pursuing various lower qualifications including
masters, bachelors, diplomas and certificates. It is pleasing to note that various institutions of
learning recognise the need for staff development. Most of these trainees were sent for further
studies through institutional efforts. It is our hope that the government will fund a project for staff
training to create the personnel needed to receive graduates of Universal Primary Education into
the tertiary sub-sector in 2009.

i. The number of academic staff increased by 1,207 people, (i.e. from 5,258 in 2005 to 6,465 in
2006). This was a positive and welcome development.
ii. Staff with PhDs or other terminal degrees increased by 188 from 558 in 2005 to 746 in 2006.
The staff development efforts of various institutions are beginning to pay off.
iii. However the exodus of staff from the academic profession due to brain drain (New Vision
Friday July 20, 2007 page 2, 13) and enforced early retirement age of 60 have continued to
take away seasoned academics from the higher education sub-sector.
iv. The staff to student ratios in all institutions is still below standards set by the National
Council for Higher Education. This indicates an alarming shortage of staff.
v. However, the decrease of fulltime staff from 3311 in 2005 to 2999 in 2006 i.e. 15% is even a
more alarming cause for worry. Moreover a number of the so-called fulltime staff spread
themselves thin by teaching at more than one institution.

Infrastructure
7. 0 The physical infrastructure
7.1 Introduction
In 2006, there was no marked improvement in the physical infrastructure of most institutions
especially public university institutions. The physical facilities including lecture rooms, libraries,
laboratories, working spaces, recreation facilities, accommodation for students and office space for
administration were as inadequate as they had been in 2004 and 2005. Sad to report is the fact that
the available classroom, library and laboratory spaces, in fact, shrank in student ratios terms in 2006
mainly due to increased enrolment without a corresponding expansion of physical space and other
facilities. In most of the older higher education institutions, including Makerere and Kyambogo,
dilapidated buildings, laboratories, pathways, sports facilities and other structures require urgent
renovation and rehabilitation. New buildings are also urgently needed to match increasing student
enrolment. Higher education institutions, especially public ones, need to diversify their sources of
income over and above fees and grants in order to cope with the congestion caused by increased
enrolment.
However, as Table 7.1 and appendix 7.1 show, there were improvements in the space available
in those non-university institutions that contracted in number due to closures such as National
Teachers Colleges.
7.2 Lecture space

Total lecture space for all institutions of learning in 2006 was 130,825 square meters (or 0.95 m2
per student) up from 76,251 (0.61m2 per student) in 2005. Although the available lecture space
improved, it was far short of NCHEs acceptable ratio of at least one square meter per student. Many
higher education institutions, especially the private ones, operate in rented premises, which are
overcrowded and have very poor facilities. Some of them use temporary shelters as lecture rooms.
Government institutions have more permanent facilities dating back to the colonial period but most
of them deserve a faceli, modernisation and new additions. This was the situation in 2005 and was
still the case in 2006.

andlibrary/space ratios

7.3 Library space

The library, together with aendant academic resource storage and dissemination facilities, is the
heartbeat of an academic institution. There has been a persistent decline in library space per student
in the face of increasing numbers of students since 2005 from 32,336 m2 (or 0.30m2 per student)
in 2004, to 28,796 (or 0.23m2 per student) in 2005 and 35,110 m2 (or 0.28m2 per student) in 2006.
Although the total area improved, student numbers increased faster than available facilities. It is
only the tertiary technical colleges that had library areas that met NCHE standards. This is due to
low enrolments in this category of institutions. Universities and colleges of commerce have very
limited library areas for their students at 0.17m2 and 0.20m2 per student respectively. These are
institutions with large numbers of students (Table 7.1).
7.4 Laboratory space

Our survey in 2006 indicated that less than 50% of higher education institutions have sufficient
numbers of laboratories or workshops to give their students a practical experience of what is being
taught. The majority of privately owned institutions have tended to avoid science and technology
programmes that require expensive laboratory/workshop installations and inputs. They cherry
pick cheap to offer disciplines especially those from the Arts and Humanities.
In 2006, total laboratory workshop space was 56.8 square meters (or 0.50m2 per student). Although this
was an improvement over the previous year (52.6 m2 or 0.42m2 per student), the area was below NCHE
minimum requirement of one square meter per student. Like other facilities, increases in laboratory/
workshops space did not keep pace with increasing enrolments.
7.5 Office space

In 2006 as was the case in 2005, office space remains a major constraint cuing across all higher
education institutions public and private. There was an acute shortage of office space for staff,
administrators and students. In a number of institutions, including universities, four to ten
members of staff were sharing an office. In extreme cases, academic staff had no space beyond
common rooms for private study and student consultations. That is partly why staff tended to
report for lectures/tutorials and to leave soon thereaer because they had no convenient private
rooms for private study or student counselling.
7.6 Halls of residence and student welfare

The modern approach to higher education is for institutions to divest from student welfare activities
such as accommodation, feeding and health, leaving the provision of these services to market forces
and private provision to concentrate on core academic activities. Nevertheless, it is not possible
at the present time, to immediately and completely pull out of this sphere of student life for the
several reasons. First of all, students with disabilities deserve institutional welfare provision that
private providers may not be able or willing to offer. Secondly, institutions located in rural areas
where private accommodation and facilities may not be easily available, are duty bound to give
students welfare facilities. Thirdly, even where private sector student welfare is readily available,
the institutions have a duty to oversee that the facilities are conducive to a learning environment.
Both the 2006 and the 2005 surveys did not capture data on accommodation to compare with the
figures for 2004, which were as follows: total accommodation area was 156,864 m2, 5,044 rooms
accommodating 22,714 students (on average 5 student/room), 1,956 toilets and 21,102 bathrooms.
It is unlikely that the accommodation situation has improved significantly despite the ongoing
construction of new privately owned student hostels, especially in Kampala. The available student
accommodation, therefore, continues to fall short of expectations, which is two students per room
at university level. Poor accommodation can lead to serious disciplinary problems, disrupting
teaching and learning activities, destroying and causing health problems for students, including
mental breakdowns.

Infrastructure
i. The infrastructure of institutions, especially public (government) institutions is so dilapidated

and old that it:
a) No longer serves its purpose.
b) Cannot effectively aract foreign students whose fees and expenditure in the
Ugandan market contribute to capital inflow.
ii. The lecture, laboratory, library and dormitory spaces in most public institutions are
inadequate and too old to create an environment conducive to learning.
iii. The welfare components of education are currently taking more funds than core academic
items or infrastructure development. This is an anomaly.

8.0 Education facilities
8.1 Introduction
Increasing students enrolment in higher education institutions since 2000 has not been matched by
a corresponding growth in education facilities. Unless the current imbalance is rectified, the arrival
of the first products of Universal Primary Education Programmes (UPE) in tertiary institutions in
2009 will make the bad situation considerably worse. The shortage of books, computers, laboratory
equipment/instruments and other facilities will create a serious crisis for the students and teachers
and strain educational facilities and resources beyond the limits of ability to offer quality higher
education. Major education facilities needed in institutions of higher learning include computers,
other ICT facilities, books, various equipment, laboratory/workshop materials, stationary etc. This
report will focus on three of the afore mentioned items, namely; computer access, internet/web use
and books.
8.2 Computer use/access

The computer is increasingly becoming the major note book, textbook, dictionary and storage facility
of information for students in quality institutions of higher learning throughout the world. The
National Council has drawn up standard requirements for computer access. But few institutions
reach this level. In 2006, a total of 7,627 units were available in institutions of higher learning, of
which 1,546 were accessible to staff and 891 were shared facilities. However, only 4,836 were
linked to the internet (Table 8.1 and Appendix 8.1).
In 2006, only one computer unit was available to 19 university students, 45 students in teachers
colleges, 31 students in technical colleges, 11 students in Health institutions, 14 students in
Management institutions, 6 students in Business/Commerce institutions, 8 students in Media
communications, 25 in Agricultural colleges, 4 in Hotel and Tourism institutions, 20 in Co-operative
colleges, 13 in Meteorological institutions and 29 students in study Centres. This computer unit
was not used all day due to power interruptions, constant breakdown and the lack of operating
knowledge.

8.3 Access to general ICTs

The year 2006 saw an impressive increase in the number of institutions with email addresses.
As Table 8.2 and appendix 8.2 indicate the number climbed from 97 (or 62%) to 113 (or 76%) of

Academic facilities
institutions of higher learning. Only 35 institutions did not have an email address in 2006. Though
email connections were, to a certain extent, restricted mainly to offices and libraries, the National
Council for Higher Education is pleased with this development.

of our institutions of higher learning have websites. The number of institutions with both email and
websites increased from 41 in 2005 to 46 in 2006, meaning that only 31% have both facilities.
8.4 Access to books

Books (and journals) whether hard or so, remain the major depository of knowledge that
institutions of higher learning employ to store and disseminate information.

Total 133925 2133586 100
Table 8.3 and appendix 8.3 show that the total number of books decreased from 2,218,282 in 2005
to 2,133,586 in 2006. The student book ratio in universities dropped from 23 books available to
a student to a mere 19. This ratio is far below the NCHE requirement of 1:40. Only theological
institutions, which had a ratio of 118 books per student, reached the NCHE requirements.

i. Although access to education facilities including computers, books and other learning aids
has improved since 2005, we have not reached ratios comparable to world standards or those
that will sustain the aractiveness of our education sub-sector to foreign students.
ii. The number of people accessing computers improved from 5511 in 2005 to 7,627 in 2006
meaning that more than 50% of staff and students access these machines. However, the
average computer to students ratios for the various categories of institutions is still low.
Institutions must raise levels of computer access to standards set by the National Council for
Higher Education.
iii. There was an impressive increase in the number of institutions which were connected to the
web by email from 97 (62%) in 2005 to 113 (76%) in 2006. Similarly institutions with both
email and websites increased.
iv. However, it is sad that the student book ratio dropped from 23 books per student in 2005 to
19 in 2006. If this was not compensated by so (electronic) reading materials, it could be a
cause for worry. All institutions must double their efforts in acquiring relevant books, both
hard and electronic.

9.0 Financing higher education in Uganda
9.1 Financing methods

Higher education in Uganda is financed by the government, the private sector (parents and
entrepreneurs) and donor agencies (mainly overseas agencies like the Ford, Rockefeller, NUFFIC
and others). Public universities receive funds in two blocks: recurrent and development grants. The
Ministry of Education and Sports gives what it calls a subvention to the institutions. The amount
of the subvention is calculated based on the number of government students and the unit cost which
the Ministry thinks is reasonable (Liang, 2004) for that particular institution. Oen the government
unit cost is high, on average, but as it is not linked to programmes, expensive disciplines like those
of science and technology do not receive enough to cover their costs.
Further, government institutions have access to international donor and lender agencies. Private
universities derive most of their income from fees. However institutions with a religious connection
have access to funding from subject religious organizations. Uganda National Teachers College are
funded through the Teacher Education Department of the Ministry of Education and Sports. Most
of the Other Tertiary Institutions fall under the department of Business, Technical, Vocational
Education and Training (BTVET). Most of these institutions receive government funding based on
inputs (staff, educational facilities etc) and not what they produce (graduates, finished items etc).
9.2 Expenditure paerns of institutions

Although both public and private universities have improved in allocation priorities of their
funds and transparency in financial management, a lot remains to be done. Tables 9.1 and 9.2,
figures 9.1 and 9.2 as well as appendix 9.1 indicate the financial expenditure paerns of public and
private university institutions respectively. A number of comments, can be made about their 2006
expenditure behaviour.
First, both public and private universities that were captured in our survey spent between 50-60% of
their money on staff emoluments which is commendable and is within the limits recommended by
the National Council for Higher Education. Secondly, public and private universities utilized some
of their income to train future academic staff. Public universities spent 1.6% and private universities
2.2% on staff development. Thirdly, unfortunately, both public and private universities were puing
more money on welfare that on core academic activities. Public universities spent 12.7% and private
ones 7.0% of their budget on student accommodation and welfare. Since a number of studies
indicate that most students come from well to do families, there must be a shi in the expenditure
behaviour of university institutions. Both groups of institutions spent very lile on core academic
items of books and equipment (0.1% and 2.5% for books and 0.6% and 2.8% for equipment). Finally,
lile money was spent on knowledge creation. Public universities spent 1.1% and private ones only
0.4% of their budgets on research. This was indeed depressing since what distinguishes a university
from a high school is knowledge creation through, mainly research.

9.3 Unit expenditure of universities

The unit expenditure, that is the amount of money an institution spends on each student, depended
on both the institutional category and the programme. Table 9.3 and appendix 9.3 show only the
average expenditure per student for all programmes. It s mere division of total enrolment and total
expenditure. Like the GDP per capita, it hides a number of issues, some of which, like the unit cost,
has assumed political dimensions.

It is the National Councils view that adequate financing is essential for the delivery of quality higher
education. As a recent report has shown (New Vision, Friday July 20, 2007 page 2), education is one
of the five major earners of foreign exchange (over $30 million). This can only be sustained if the
country is willing to invest in higher education.

9.4 The gap between unit cost and fees

We pointed out in last years State of Higher Education report that the fees students were paying
were far lower than the unit cost as we know the laer to be. We produced a MISR study of 2001/2002
which showed the following costs at the time (Table 9.4) for the various categories of institutions.

We later focused on universities and broke down the unit cost as it was in 2002/2 and the preferred
unit cost Table 9.5. We compared the unit costs for each programme and fees paid not only in
Uganda but also in India (where most of the academics and education inputs are home grown
unlike Uganda where the major education inputs are imported).It is clear from those comparisons
that education institutions receive less than the cost of inputs.

Realising that denying institutions of higher learning the amount of money they need to produce
skilled personnel wills not only choke those institutions but will also to slow the pace of the
countrys development. We advised that a gradual approach be put n place to address the problem.
The National Council for Higher Education advised as follows and is reproducing the same advice
for emphasis.

Possible higher education financing solutions

Although financing higher education in Uganda and elsewhere for that maer has no straightforward
or ready-made solutions, all stakeholders, including NCHE, MOES, other relevant ministries,
parents, students, industrialists and the institutions themselves, must team up to explore options and
strategies to improve the financial status of higher education institutions. The NCHE secretariat has
already addressed the issue of financing higher education in a brief to the MOES, detailing possible
alternatives to traditional sources of income for higher institutions. These alternative strategies
include but are not limited to:
i. Gradually raising fees to cover at least 50% of educating a student over three years as shown
in Table 9.4 ( of the 2005 report)see section 9.5. The increments would start in 2006 and run for
three years. Aer that period, stakeholders would meet to assess the impact of the exercise on
the quality of higher education delivered.
ii. The elimination of the welfare component of expenditure under which the government and
the institutions would disengage from student welfare expenditure to concentrate on core
higher education academic inputs like books, computers, infrastructure renovations and
more staff benefits. The burden of student welfare costs would pass on to the parents or other
sponsors and also cover those who are unable to meet them.
iii. The loan scheme with start-up revolving funs from government targeting poor but deserving
students should be put into operation as soon as possible.
iv. The tertiary share of the Ministry budget in the MTEF should be increased from the current
9-15% to 25% in preparation for the admission of UPE beneficiaries. This would entail the
structural shi of emphasis from primary to non-university tertiary education to pave the
way for sustainable output of middle level managers and technicians for the economy.
v. The government of Uganda should establish a University Grants Commiee whose mandate
would be to source and allocate funds to education institutions as in the UK, India and Pakistan
where such commiees have proved effective in fund-raising and resource mobilisation.
vi. Government should continue and increase funding for key priority programmes, especially
in science and technology, whether offered in public or private tertiary institutions provided
they are indispensable to enhancing economic and social development. NCHE welcomes the
initiative that the MOES has already taken in this discretion.
vii. Foreign students should be required to meet the full cost of their higher education except
where there are reciprocal student exchange arrangements, e.g., with neighbouring
countries.
viii. To ease enrolment and funding pressures at university level, government should redirect
its energies and resources to middle level (other tertiary) skills training institutions through
appropriate bursary and facilities incentives. To shi aitudes for university to technical and
vocational training education, stakeholders must endeavour to:
Convince young people through career guidance that the career prospects in non-
university tertiary institutions are as good as those through the university career path.
Explain that through the proposed credit system university education is still open to those
who pass through other tertiary institutions without loss of study.
Sensitize the students that non-university institutions, properly endowed, can become
centres of excellence and creativity and donors like the Blair Commission are already
earmarking this area of higher education for funding to the tune of $3 billion over ten years
(2005:138). Accessing such donor funds should help revitalise Other tertiary institutions
into technical and professional excellence that are the envy of universities.
The current skills capacity bolenecks in Africa can partly be aributed to the inability of tertiary
institutions to produce skilled human resources as a result of under-funding and probably the
over-emphasis on universities at the expense of Other Tertiary Institutions. By concentrating on
technical, diploma in health, veterinary, agriculture and vocational training, the chances are that

certificate and diploma holders are less likely to go abroad for greener pastures than university
graduates.
Shiing the emphasis to Other Tertiary Institutions by no means implies that the role of
universities as creators, custodians and disseminators of knowledge should be neglected. The more
established universities like Makerere should focus on training first class postgraduate students to
service the upper layers of the market as well as in the academic and public services. Government
should provide financial assistance to private universities to offer programmes vital to national
development and should exempt them from taxes such as VAT. These aract many foreign students
and therefore are a source of capital inflow.
9.5 The necessity of carrying out an annual unit cost study

Of late, the unit cost of higher education has been contested. The media seems to quote different
figures and both the Ministry of Education and Finance have not published official unit costs for the
various tertiary programmes. Since higher education is becoming so crucial to national development
in terms of skilled personnel production, knowledge creation and outright capital inflow, we cannot
base its cost on chance and estimates.
i. The position and proper use of funds to match needed facilities with increasing enrolments
has remained the major obstacle to the provision of quality higher education as defined by
the National Council for Higher Education capacity indicators.
ii. The gap between assumed unit cost and fees has remained high but cannot be addressed
immediately due to the failure of stakeholders to do a disinterested study of the problem.
The failure of the sub-sector to come up with an agreeable unit cost of education for each of
the programmes delivered is a serious omission that the Ministry of Education must aend
to with urgency.
iii. The expenditure paerns of institutions still indicate that more funds are spent on welfare
than core academic components or educational infrastructure. As most of the students who
reach the tertiary level come from well off social groups, welfare funds could be used to
establish a loan fund.
iv. Private university institutions are spending far less per student than public ones (856,946/=
compared to 2,833,883/=). Few of the private universities offer disciplines critical to national
development such as science and technology based programmes. They cherry pick cheap to
offer programmes which meet the demands of the market, but have questionable relevance
to societal advancement.

Governance
10.0 Governance of higher education institutions, 2006
10.1 Good university governance
Good governance in the higher education context refers to the good management of institutions
of higher learning in order to enable them deliver quality education and to fulfil the missions and
visions of all stakeholders. Universities are well governed if they fulfil the purposes for which they
were established. World over, the roles of universities are to:
Preserve knowledge and transmit it to future generations.
Create knowledge to resolve current and future social problems.
Use new knowledge to either strengthen or challenge established ideas and norms all with
the aim of beering the human condition.
Stimulate creativity in arts, literature and science, and
Transfer skills to populations especially to the young members of society.
10.2 Accountability, transparency, autonomy and academic freedom

For universities to perform these functions, they need to have good governance. In order to enhance
good governance, university leaders must be democratic, transparent and strictly accountable
to university workers, Council and to the wider general public because universities are public
institutions, irrespective of the orientation, ownership, belief and ideology of their founding bodies.
All decisions in universities should be made by the majority of stakeholders in relevant fora to
promote the greatest happiness to the greatest number without violating the rights of the minority.
In order to perform those tasks in the manner described above, universities need to have institutional
autonomy and academic freedom of their staff and students (these terms were defined in last years
report pp 42-4). Last year, a number of incidents were reported where owners of universities reversed
the decisions of University Councils. This sends a chilling message to higher education providers.We
hope the practice will gradually wane.
10.3 Impact of the National Council for Higher Education on the general governance of the sub-
sector.
The activities of the National Council for Higher Education over the last four and half years are
discussed in the next section of this report. As in 2005, the National Council for Higher Education,
has in 2006 continued to discharge its responsibility for licensing universities and other tertiary
institutions in accordance with the Universities and Other Tertiary Institutions Act, 2001. Overall,
the Council has aimed at nurturing institutions of higher learning to enable them deliver quality
education. Those institutions that have co-operated have registered marked improvements in the
governance of their academic and management processes. The rules, regulations and guidelines
put out from time to time by the National Council for Higher Education, should help universities
not only in their governance but also in their task of offering quality higher education. The Council
will continue to work with universities in partnership to help them maintain high standards of
governance, teaching and research. One major achievement by the Council working together
with universities is the completion of the Uganda Quality Assurance Framework, which is now in
use by universities. This framework has two major components, namely internal self evaluation
by universities and external evaluation by peers appointed by the Council and accepted by
universities.
10.4 Some problems in the implementation of the Universities and Other Tertiary Institutions
Act, 2001
Council has noted that the provisions of the Universities and Other Tertiary Institutions Act,
No. 7 of 2001 are causing some problems to public universities. This is especially so in the way
officials assume office. The law dictates that officials are elected to various offices such as Heads

of Department, Deans, the Deputy Vice Chancellors and the Vice Chancellors. We have been
told that those who lose these elections tend to gang up against the elected officials and work to
frustrate and undermine them with a view of causing their down fall. Those who win, we are told,
sometimes adopt a policy of winner- take-all perks in a given university division. This is not good
for university governance. But Council does not recommend a return to the 1970 Act. That would
be retrogressive and inimical to university development. Council encourages academics to absorb
the pangs of establishing democratic institutions. But they must be endured to set the ground for
future good and democratic governance. Secondly, there are undefined or conflicting roles of top
officers between the Academic Registrar and the Deputy Vice Chancellor, Academic Affairs as well
as between the University Secretary and the Deputy Vice Chancellor, Administration. A number of
public universities have put up band-aid solutions to address these problems as they wait for the
law to be amended.
10.5 Some disruptions in the running of institutions in 2006

The Council also noted with regret that there were disruptions of work in some universities in 2006.
For example:
There were strikes by staff of Makerere University over the question of pay packages. The
students joined the staff strike in sympathy.
There was a strike in Gulu University also over the question of money maers.
There were also strikes in Kyambogo University over management maers.
There was a strike by students at Uganda Christian University over the issue of
accommodation.
An unseled situation of conflict still exists between Makerere University and its affiliate,
Makerere University Business School.
A few of these disruptions were caused by mismanagement and others were caused by
misunderstandings. Ugandan higher education managers are lied from lecture rooms to
administrative offices without training them in management. Such officers obviously need training
in the management of institutions of higher learning. It is important therefore that Council should
not only train universities managers, but also members of their governing Councils who should
be thoroughly inducted to and sensitised about the UAOTI Act, 2001 and the higher education
landscape. Council is ready to do this as soon as money is available.

NCHE five year existance
11.0 The National Council for Higher Education: Five years of existence, 2002-
2007
11.1 Introduction
Five years ago, the first National Council for Higher Education was established when its members
were inaugurated by the Minister of Education. In November 2002, a skeleton staff of three people
began to execute business on behalf of this Council but real business was started on moving to 34
Cavers Crescent, Kyambogo in January 2003. In those five years, Council has not only become a
well-defined institution, it is effectively fulfilling what it was set up to do. Council has succeeded
in establishing itself as a strong institution with functioning administrative structures, which have
enabled it to deliver most of the objectives that it has been assigned over the subject period. Although
there have been serious obstacles, the Council has developed as an institution, the public and clients
are aware of its work, and most of the tasks that it is expected to do have either been completed or
have been started and are ongoing.
11.2.0 The Development of the Council institution
Since 2002/3, Council has developed the necessary institutional and organisational structures for
executing its work. The structures include the following:
11.2.1. Seing up of the Secretariat of council, Jan 2003
In January 2003, the Secretariat of the Council was set up at 34 Cavers Crescent, Kyambogo. Within
that period, Council has developed firm administrative structures that have enabled it to deliver
fully what it was established to do. The Counci,l started its operations with 3 members of staff and
has grown to 20 currently. However, the Secretariat is badly under staffed.
11.2.2 Sub-Commiees of Council

The following commiees have been set up under Section 20(1), of the Act to help in the efficient
management of the business of Council.
They are:
Accreditation and Quality Assurance Commiee,
Research and Development Commiee, and
Finance and Management Commiee.
11.2.3. Meetings of Council

The Council fulfilled its statutory obligations of holding regular meetings each year. Under Section
10 (4) of the Act, Council is expected to meet at least four times a year. In the FY 2003/04, Council
met four times while in the subsequent years of 2004/5 and 2005/6 Council met five times to transact
business.
11.2.4 Operational rules and regulations
Sections 5,6,119 and 123 of the Act empower Council to make rules and regulations for the
governance of higher education institutions. In the period 2002/3 to 2005/6, Council made the
following Rules and Regulations:
i. Process for Granting Provisional Licenses to Universities and Private Other Tertiary
Institution.
ii. Process for Granting Charters to Private Universities and Certificate of Classification and
Registration to Other Tertiary Institutions
iii. General Quality Assurance and Management:
Standards For University Libraries,

Checklist of Quality and Institution Capacity Indicators for Assessment of Institutions,

Format for preparing Institutional Inspection Report.
iv. Institutional Standards for infrastructure.
v. Equating of Degrees, Diplomas and Certificates
11.2.5. Recommending the granting of Charters

The Council inspected and recommended the grating of charters to successful private universities.
The President granted charters to the following institutions:
i. Uganda Christian University in 2005,
ii. Uganda Martyrs University 2005, and
11.2. 6. Public Universities

As per Section 22(1), Council recommended to the Minister, the establishment of the following
public university institutions:
i. Kyambogo in 2003.
ii. Gulu in 2003.
11.2.7. Other Degree Awarding Institutions

The Council also registered the following public institutions: Uganda Management Institute as an
Other Degree Awarding Institution.
11.2.8. Provisional Licences
As per Section 97 of the Act, Council inspected and granted Provisional Licences to:
i. Kampala International University in 2004,
ii. Kumi University in 2004,
iii. Kabale University in 2005,
iv. Mountains of the Moon Universities in 2005,
v. Fairland University, 2005
vi. African Bible College of Uganda in 2005,
vii. Bishop Stuart University in 2006,
11.2.9. Leers of Interim Authority

Leers of Interim Authority are given to institutions or organizations to enable them to plan
university projects. At this stage, they are not permied to deliver higher education or admit
students. In the past four and half years, the following organisations were granted Leers of Interim
Authority:
i. Kabale University Project in January 2004,
ii. Bishop Stuart University Project in January 2004,
iii. Teso University Project in January 2004,
iv. Kumi University Project in January 2004
v. Nile University Project in January 2004,
vi. Afrika Study Centre Project in March 2005
vii. Muteesa One University Project in March 2005,
viii. All Saints University Project in March 2005,
ix. Global Open University in Uganda Project in June 2005,
x. Financial Markets University Project in June 2005,
xi. Makinawa University Project in March 2006;
xii. St. Lawrence University Project in October 2006 and
xiii. Lugazi University Project in October 2006

11.2.10. Revocation of Provisional Licences

The Council revoked the Provisional Licences for institutions, which did not maintain the standards
set by the Council.
i. Namasagali University in 2005, and
ii. Kigezi International School of Medicine in 2005.
11.2.11. Inspection of Other Tertiary Institutions

Provisional licences were granted to Other Tertiary Institutions. These included:
i. Uganda Baptist Seminary in 2006,
ii. Pearlcrest 2004,
iii. Makerere Institute of Social Development 2006,
iv. Kampala Evangelical School of Theology, 2006
v. Skills Resource Centre, Psychosocial Training Institute, 2006
vi. Kabale Institute of Health Sciences 2006.
vii. Ernest Cook Ultra Sound Research, 2006.
viii. Team Business College 2006, and
ix. Management and Accountancy training Company Limited 2006.
11.2.12. Leer of Registration and Classification

A Leer of Registration and Classification was granted to Makerere Business Institute in 2006.
11.2.13. Equating of qualifications
Council is mandated by Section 5(k) to equate qualifications. The passing of the Presidential and
Parliamentary Elections Acts as well as the Local Governments (Amendment) Act meant added
responsibilities. In 2006, the Secretariat was overwhelmed by equating 238 academic qualifications
for people intending to run for various political offices. Although the staff are few and had lile
experience of equating this type of qualifications and were working under the pressure of a very
limited time, the success rate exceeded 95%. Council continued to equate ordinary qualifications.
11.2.14. Mapping/survey of institutions of higher education (June/July 2004)
The mapping exercise was carried out with a view of knowing exactly the state of Ugandas
institutions of higher learning. The survey was done with the financial help from the Rockefeller
Foundation of New York. A total of 155 higher education institutions with a total enrolment of
108,299 students were surveyed. The information obtained led to the publication of our first State
of Higher Education report in 2004. The publication of such a report has now been made an annual
activity.
11.2.15. Monitoring Exercise
The Council carried out successful monitoring exercises of universities with Provisional Licences in
the country. The exercise was organised along regional basis as follows:
Western Region:
Mountains of the Moon University, the Pentecostal University, Kabale University, and Bishop
Stuart University.
Eastern Region:
Kumi University, Busoga University, Fairland University, and
Central Region:
Bugema University, Kampala International University, Kampala University, and Africa Bible
College and Ndejje University.

11.2.16. Administrative Visits

The staff and Council members paid administrative visits to a number of institutions including
Namasagali University, Kampala University and Busoga University to check on their progress in
higher education training.
11.2.17. Publications and information dissemination
Under Section 5(0) of the Act, Council must collect and disseminate information, ideas and help the
government to formulate policy. Some publications by Council were:
i. The Uganda Higher Education Review, published twice a year,
ii. The State of Higher Education, published once a year,
iii. Annual Performance Reports, once a year.
iv. Quality Assurance Framework for Uganda Universities,
v. Various Rules and Regulation in the Uganda Gazee
vi. Minimum Requirements for Courses of Study in Universities,
vii. Graduate Tracer and Employers` Expectations Studies.
11.2.18. ICT/Web use and development

From 2003, Council has been fully connected to email and internet. The Secretariat is now semi-
automated in its functions but we hope to be fully electronic in our functions by the end of this
year. About 90% of staff are computer literate. Our office is wired to a LAN and each office has a
computer set.
11.2.19. Documentation Centre
Since its establishment, the Council has set up a resource centre and purchased a number of
books on higher education. Thanks to the recruitment of a professional librarian, a grant from the
Netherlands worth Euros 792,040 and donations from various library sources, Council now has a
total collection of 580 books on higher education.
11.2.20. Office space
Council has acquired three acres of land on Kyambogo hill for construction of Council offices. It
is hoped that within the next two years, we shall have a permanent home of our own. For the last
four and half years, the Secretariat has been renting a former residential house from Kyambogo
University for office use.
11.2.21. Capacity building and public awareness efforts
The Council held various seminars and workshops for its members, staff and other stakeholders
in areas of Quality Assurance, Credit Accumulation and Transfers, financing higher education
institutions and general management of higher education institutions. Staff and Council members
aended capacity building retreats at various places including Kalangala, Ankrah Foundation etc.
A number of talk shows for the purpose of publicity have been done. Efforts have also been made
by Council to do a lot of publicity and creating awareness of higher education institutions through
regular workshops.
11.2.22. Strategic plan for higher education
The Council participated in the Education Sector Review in November 2003 at which Ugandas
strategic plan for higher education was discussed and approved. Prior to that, the Executive
Director had been involved in the draing of the plan. Council has now completed its own Strategic
Plan for the next five years.
11.2.23. Study tours and visits
In order to build the capacity of staff to manage institutions of higher learning, members of staff
undertook study tours to institutions in foreign countries to study institutions, which perform
similar functions as the Council. Virtually every staff member of Council secretariat has been on

a study tour in a foreign country. These countries have included Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa,
Mozambique, Germany, the Netherlands and USA. Most of these tours have been financed through
donor funds.
11.2.24. Projects and innovative activities.
Council has, in the last four and half years initiated a number of projects both for capacity building
and improvement of higher education in Uganda and East Africa. These projects included the
following:
i. The Capacity Building Project funded by the Rockefeller Foundation
ii. The Capacity Enhancement of the National Council for Higher Education funded by the
Netherlands government,
iii. Cooperation among the East African higher education regulatory agencies. Ford and
Rockefeller Foundation funded the project.
11.2.25. The Financing of the National Council for Higher Education
As this is a new organization whose role in a changing world is not yet defined and financiers
including the government have been very cautious in the amount of money to allocate to Council.
The last four years have seen a progressive realization by funders of the importance of Council. The
Ministry of Education and Sports has been very supportive and has given the Council whatever
they could from their limited envelope. It is to the credit of the Council Secretariat that we have
been able to aract funds from the Rockefeller Foundation of New York, Ford Foundation and The
Netherlands Government. Funds from these sources have supplemented our efforts.
11.3.0 Challenges
The Council is a young institution and as such, has been faced with a number of problems that are
still major challenges such as;

The university age according to the census statistics was defined between (20-24) years, which
we can expand to include 19-year age group; that is (19-24) years. This approximately totals to:
2,747,420.
Given a population growth rate of 3%, the following can be generated for that age group:
Year Age group Population

2002 19-24 Years 2,747,420
2003 19-24 Years 2,829,842
2004 19-24 Years 2,914,738
2005 19-24 Years 3,002,180
Ratios
a) Gross enrolment ratio:
The number of students enrolled in a level of education regardless of age, as a percentage of the
population of official school age for that level.
Using 3,002,180 as school going age (19-24) see the last 2 rows in the above table.
= 137,190 x 100% = 4.57%
3,002,180
b) Net enrolment ratio:

The number of students enrolled in a level of education who are of official school age for that level,
as a percentage of the population of official school age for that level.
* Most institutions did not fill this area of ages in the questionnaire and this makes it impossible to
determine enrolment size for the official school age for this level
c) Gross tertiary enrolment science/technology ratio:
The number of students enrolled in tertiary education in science/technology, regardless of age, as a

percentage of the population of relevant age range level.
= 37,739 x 100% = 1.26%

3,002,180
d) Gross tertiary enrolment arts/humanities ratio:
The number of students enrolled in tertiary education in arts/humanities, regardless of age, as a

percentage of the population of relevant age range level.
= 99,451 x 100% = 3.31%

3,002,180
e) Number of tertiary students per 100,000 people:
In 26,800,000 there are 137,190 students enrolled in higher education

In 100,000 of population there are 137,190 x 100,000 = 511 students
26,800,000
It should be noted however that the projected population of 2006, and the population of school
going age (19-24) for 2006 are estimated figures according to the census statistics.
