Acknowledgement
The production of Councils State of Higher Education for the year 2010 has been
delayed by a number of factors. Despite that, it is my hope that this report will be as
welcome as the previous ones.
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 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.
Council is grateful for the trust. On a personal level, Council appreciates Mr. Godfrey
Datemwa, the Commissioner Planning Department, Mrs. Elizabeth Gabona, the
Director of Education, Mr. Robert Oceng, the Commissioner of Higher Education, Mr.
Joseph Eilor, Ms. Irene Namubiru, S.M. Lule, Frank Senabulya, Mike, Denis, Ronald,
Agnes, Julie, Rose, Johny for the efforts they have put into the collection of data 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 efforts 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 2010 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 the report reproduction. Thank you
very much Martin.
I again thank all people and institutions for the cooperation.

Background to higher education delivery and administration
1.0 Executive Summary
1.1.0 The higher education sub-sector at a glance

Since 2006 when NCHE last published The State of Higher Education and Training,
the Ugandan higher education sub-sector has continued to expand in terms of
students enrolment and the number of institutions. These increases, however, have
occurred in the face of declining or stagnant unit cost funding for education facilities,
infrastructure and academic staff. The state and other stakeholders must address the
problem of the funding of tertiary education before standards are compromised. On
a happy note, there have been improvements in female access to higher education,
computer access and use, as well as enrolment in science and technology. However,
these latter enrolments are in computer related rather than in Basic, Mathematical
or other Technical sciences. The unfortunate decline in the production of middle
level technicians from technical institutions has continued. The closing of technical
institutes in favour of universities has not been halted. Students, parents and policy
makers tend to prefer university over technical education. As a result of this and
other factors, including the perception that the quality of Ugandas higher education
is declining, the percentage of foreign students coming to Uganda has dropped since
2006. This is a frightening indicator in the state of higher education and training in
Uganda that must be noted.
1.1.1 Institutions
Institutions of higher learning have grown from 148 in 2006 to 181 in 2010, representing
a growth of 18% in the four year period. In the same period, the number of universities
increased from 26 to 29, representing a percentage increase of 14%. In 2006, there was
one Other Degree Awarding Institution, Uganda Management Institute. Since 2006,
a second one, Team Institute of Business Management has been lincensed. By 2010,
there were three university colleges, two private (Burham affiliated to UCU and Kisubi
Brothers University College, affiliated to UMU) and one public (College of Health
Sciences, Makerere). Makerere University is currently disaggregating into colleges
but the legal processes are not yet complete.
Most of the growth of higher education institutions is in the Commerce and Business
Studies areas rather than the science and technical colleges fields. Overall, the private
sector owns 72% and the public 28% of tertiary institution. In fact, there has been a
negative two percent decrease in government ownership of tertiary institutions since
2006.
1.1.2 Enrolment
(a) Total enrolment
Student enrolment has steadily been increasing since 2000. Between 2006 and
2010 totalnumbers increased from 137,190 to 183,985, representing a growth of
34.1%.
(b) Gross enrolment ratio

The number of students enrolled in Ugandas tertiary education level, regardless
of age, as a percentage of the population of official school age (for the tertiary
level) was a mere 5.4%. This is far below the Sub-Saharan average of 6% and
The National Council for Higher Education 1

the world average of 26% and the preferred 40% needed for economic take off.
Therefore, Uganda needs more university and colleges spaces to enroll more
students.
(c) Enrolment by discipline

The number of students enrolled in science and technology has increased from
37739 (28%) to 68,543 (37%). Most of the increases in science and technology
have occurred in computer related studies rather than Basic, Mathematical or
Technical and Applied Sciences (Table 4.2).
(d) Enrolment by gender

There have been gains in female registration. In 2006, registered females students
were 57,721 (42.1%). In 2010, females students were 80391 (44%) (Table 4.3).
(e) Nationalities
There has been a relative decrease in the number of foreign students coming
to Ugandan tertiary institutions in the last four years. There was a decline of
0.4%, though in absolute numbers, the figures are not alarming (Table 4.4).
(f) Access
Access to higher education by the poor is still problematic. Most of the tertiary
students come from well-to-do backgrounds.
1.1.3 Programme relevance
(a) Nature of programme

Both popular demand and administrative actions have combined to make
university education supersede middle and technical education in popularity.
Most students, parents and policy makers prefer university education. The
result is lack of middle level technicians and workers who Uganda has to import.
For example, in health sciences, only 0.86% programmes were for Diplomas.
In engineering, only 0.86% were registered for diploma courses. The country
needs an immediate policy shift on this issue if it is to have the skilled labour
needed to attract investment in industry, agriculture and commerce.
(b) Number of programmes

Some 2099 programmes were offered, of which 1105 were in universities. The
run-ups were teacher training (664) and management (114).
(c) Schedule
Most programmes 55.6%, were day, 29.7% evening, 9.8% week-end and 4.9%
evening.
1.1.4 Research and publications

The Ministry of Education and Sports resumed funding for research in public
universities. For the last two years, modest funds have been channeled through
the National Council for Higher Education for research and staff training in
public universities. Few private universities conduct research. Most of them
are teaching institutions.
2 The National Council for Higher Education

1.1.5 Academic staff
(a) Number of academic staff

The academic staff numbers have not kept pace with student enrolment growth.
While student numbers grew by 34.1% in the four year period, staff grew by
only 20%. In 2006, there were 6465 academics, but by 2010, the number was
7785 (Table 6.1).
(b) Qualifications
Universities need more highly qualified staff. Those with PhDs were only 11%
(858), Masters 38 (2967), Bachelors 34 (2621), and the rest had various types of
diplomas. The state should invest in an aggressive staff development project.
(c) Adequacy
The academic staff numbers have slightly improved though they have not kept
pace with student enrolment. The staff student ratio has not improved from
1:24 in 2006, it has remained at 1:24 in 2010 in universities. It is however noted
that the number of part time lecturers has increased from 31.7% in 2006 to 37%
2010.
1.1.6 Infrastructure
The infrastructure situation has become worse since the last publication of the
State of Higher Education and Training. In 2010 space available per student
in lecture rooms, libraries, laboratories, recreation facilities, academic and
administrative office has not improved over the previous years. For example,
in university lecture rooms, space dropped from an average of 0.78 sq.m2 to
0.34 sq.m2 and libraries from 0.28m2 to 0.13m2. In other Tertiary Institutions,
the situation was generally the same: reduced and deteriorating infrastructure,
that could not cope with increased enrolments. Agricultural colleges on the
other hand were not very crowded.
1.1.7 Education facilities
(a) Computer access

There has been a pleasing increase in computer access in most of Ugandas
tertiary institutions especially universities. The 2010 computer to student ratio
of 1:19 is within the Acceptable category of National Council for Higher
Education standards. It is hoped that by the time the 2011 State of Higher
Education is published, the Good or Ideal levels in computer access will
have been reached.
(b) Books
Student access to (hard copy) books was not impressive (Table 7.2). Only
Theological Institutions reached the 40 books per student minimum required
by NCHE standards.
1.1.8 Funding
Virtually all tertiary institutions, public and private, get less money than is
needed for producing a graduate. That is most of them get less than the unit

cost. This is revealed by the Auditor Generals study of unit costs as well as
those done by NCHE. This is more so in science and technology. Secondly,
most institutions are dependant on one source of income: fees. Few, if any,
institutions have diversified sources of income such as endowments, loan
schemes, etc.
1.1.9 Governance
On the whole, the last four years have been peaceful. There were fewer
disagreements and conflicts within institutions of higher learning. The various
organs of institutions (Council, Management, Academic bodies, non-teaching
staff and students unions) were slowly understanding their roles. With the
help of the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the National Council for Higher
Education has started a programme to train existing and potential managers of
institutions of higher learning. The NCHE aim is not only to improve current
governance of institutions but also to create a pool of potential administrators
who can be called upon in the future to manage institutions. By December 2011,
NCHE will have conducted three sessions with 150 beneficiaries (who include
members of Council, Deans, Heads of Department and Senior Administrators).
1.1.10 The fate of tertiary students

The State of Higher Education will, in future have a section highlighting
various tracer studies to inform the public where graduates of institutions
of higher education go after completing their studies. Although the one we
have included in this issue covers a few students for the year 2002, it sends out
one major message. Students who study science and technology (especially
applied programmes) have better chances of getting employed earlier than
the rest. They also have more employment options than those studying other
disciplines.
1.1.11 Highlights on the National Council for Higher Education

A section in this issue highlights the structure, operations and achievements
of the National Council for Higher Education. The NCHE started operating in
January 2003 and has put in place a number of structures for regulating higher
education in Uganda. As it is a public institution, the public should know how
it functions.
1.2.0 Recommendations
The following are the recommendations for the stakeholders to improve the
state of higher education and training inUganda:
(i) Higher Education is everybodys business. The state, the public, the parents, the
students, business and the media are all stakeholders in the provision of quality
higher education. Problems of higher education governance and funding can
only be resolved when all stakeholders positively contribute. These problems
cannot be resolved by academics and educational institutional managers alone.
Neither can the government alone solve the problems. Blaming one set of
stakeholders for the problems that often come up in higher education delivery
will not serve the public good.
(ii) The major factor contributing to current problems in the higher education sub-

sector is funding. Education institutions, public and private, receive less funds
than it costs them to produce a graduate. This is what the unit costs studies
we have so far done tell us. Comparisons of institutional receipts in the region
also give us the same answer. The country should not burry its head in the sand
and refuse to look at the problem of funding. However, this is not to say that
the needed funds must be extracted from parents and students as fees. These
cannot pay higher than the average income per capita. But the money must
be found from various diversified sources or institutions will deliver inferior
higher education. If they do, we shall be dishonest if we blame them. In another
publication, it has been recommended that a diversified funding model based
on autonomy and accountability as a solution to the problem of funding should
be put in place: Kasozi A. B. K. (2009). Financing Ugandas Public Universities: An
Obstacle to serving the Public Good. Kampala: Fountain Publishers.
The model suggested involves multiple sources including government, an
education insurance, a national education lottery, endowments, a national loan
scheme, fees, scholarships, and income generating activities within universities
and other tertiary institutions.
(iii) Since the Auditor General was commissioned by the Government to do a unit
cost study and has produced his report, the state should use his figures as a
basis for funding universities. However, poor and needy students should be
catered for by a loan and scholarship scheme.
(iv) The loan scheme must be operationalised as soon as possible. Two years ago, the
National Council for Higher Education did all the necessary studies including
preparing a draft law for the loan scheme. This work was given to relevant
authorities and therefore the project should take off. There is no need to do a
second study.
(v) Government should increase the research subvention to universities as research
is at the core of what a university is. Universities are famous due to their
research outputs not how well they teach, though this is an important aspect of
university service.
(vi) There is a critical shortage of academic staff that could see Ugandas higher
education sub-sector come to a halt. The few academic staff that we have are
not only seeking better opportunities elsewhere, including overseas, but also
moonlight. Efforts must be undertaken to train and retain staff.
(vii) More efforts to popularise middle education, especially technical education
must be undertaken.
(viii) To get more science students entering the tertiary sub-sector, the wastage
occuring at the entrance to A Level must be revised. At O Level, almost
all the students offer science and technology. However on crosing the bridge
into A Level, the numbers offering science and technology are reduced.
(ix) The percentage of students from poor homes who study in university institutions
is not high. Income is a major factor determining access. Students who study
in Ugandas universities, especially public ones where the study was located,
come from relatively better off social economic background than the general
Ugandan population. To increase access to higher education for children from
poor homes, a loan scheme will be one of a number of options to adopt.

2. Methodology
2.0 Introduction
The National Council for Higher Education (NCHE) has sustained the collection and
reporting of higher education data amidst meager funding. The lack of sufficient
funding has, however, not affected the quality of data. This is Councils fourth report
on the state of higher education and training in Uganda. The first report, funded by the
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 Councils limited resources, 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. In 2007/8-2008/9 NCHE was unable to produce a
report due to lack of money. In addition there were poor data submissions by institutions
of high learning. We largely depended on sending questionnaires to institutions and
expected the institutions to fill and return the questionnaires. A number of these were
not returned while some of those remitted to us were incomplete.
2.1 Methods of data collection

In 2010/11, Council sent data instruments to institutions in advance and later sent data
collectors to the field to retrieve filled questionnaires. This was done besides other
strategies for collecting data. The methods that were employed for various sources of
data are:
(a) Primary sources

(i)Self-administered structured questionnaire
The questionnaires with explanatory notes were sent to institutions by courier, by
e-mail and also loaded on our website. These questionnaires were developed jointly
with the Department of Planning, Ministry of Education and Sports. The completed
questionnaires filled by the responsible administrative officers and endorsed by heads
of institutions, were to be submitted to NCHE within 3-4 months of their dispatch. This
was not adhered to by a majority of the institutions, necessitating follow up field visits.
The scheduled submission period was from June to September 2010. The reasons for
failure to submit questionnaires varied from one institution to another. Some claimed,
as usual, that they did not receive the questionnaire; some misplaced questionnaires
and did not bother to get another copy, yet others claimed they could not understand
the questionnaire. Other institutions thought they were not supposed to submit data
since they had done so in the previous year; while other institutions could not be
located or had closed down. In most public tertiary institutions, a common problem
was staff transfers from one institution to another where handing over mechanisms
are not well developed.
(b) Secondary sources

(i) Progress reports
By law, institutions are supposed to submit annual reports to the NCHE. However,
not all institutions regularly submit these reports apart from some public universities
like Makerere University, Mbarara University of Science and Technology and Gulu
Methodology
University. These reports provide additional data that NCHE uses to supplement and
enrich data from primary sources. We have also used data from other statutory agencies
like Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) to come to conclusion on various social aspects
of higher education. We also use primary data collected by the Government ministries
including Education and Sports, Finance and Economic Development and Gender,
Labour and Social Development.
(ii) Data from inspections and monitoring visitations:

Another secondary source of data that enriches The State of Higher Education are
reports submitted to the Accreditation and Quality Assurance Committee of Council.
These are a useful source of information for this publication. All this information has
been integrated and analyzed to determine the state of higher education in Uganda and
to establish each institutions capacity to deliver quality education on a continuous and
sustainable basis.
2.2 Instruments of data collection
As stated above, the structured questionnaire is the major data collection instrument
in the production of these reports. Some institutions have appreciated NCHE data
instrument to the extent that they have developed publications which reflect the setup
and the content of the instrument. Overall, the instrument has the following advantages;
(a) The data collection instrument accommodates the specific needs and interests of
the Ministry of Education and Sports, NCHE and other stakeholders;
(b) The instrument has a joint statement on the top of first page, informing all higher
education institutions that there is a single data collection instrument for the
Council and the Ministry;
(c) It is easy for the heads of institutions to keep records of the data as they are
expected to endorse and return to the NCHE duly completed data collection
questionnaires;
(d) The data collection questionnaire was discussed and adopted by both the MOES
and the NCHE.
The questionnaire, however, needs constant review by both parties to take into account
the changing higher education landscape and data needs of all stakeholders.
2.3 Timing of data collection

The data collection instrument was circulated to higher education institutions before
April 2010 and the duly completed questionnaire was to be returned between June
and September 2010. Originally, data verification, entry, cleaning and processing
were planned to take place between September and October 2010. Data analysis was
projected to have been over by the end of November and report writing, production and
dissemination by the end of December 2010. This however, did not happen as planned
due to the delays caused by a statutory activity of verifying qualifications of people
aspiring for various political offices through participation in the general elections of
2011. The NCHE is very busy during national elections times.
2.4 Limitations, problems encountered and success rate

As already stated, institutions of higher learning did not respond promptly as planned.
Only 30 or (22%) responded within the stipulated time out of the 181 institutions to
which the questionnaires were sent. This was a very low rate by any standards. 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 reflected
by factual gaps, inconsistencies, uncertainties and crossing of entered data. This
necessitated verifying the information of affected institutions by telephones and by
NCHE staff physical visits. Some institutions provided 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, or student
enrolment by ages. In the end, the overall success rate in data collection was 168 out of
181 institutions (92%). The analysis, findings and the overall conclusions of this report
were based on 168 institutions together with the projections for the other 13 institutions
as well as the secondary data referred to above. 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. Two other surveys the NCHE has been
involved in the last five years have also been included. These are the (a) the unit cost of
higher education and (b) the socio economic status origins of Ugandan students. The
aim of including these studies is to give a more fuller picture of the state of higher
education since NCHE last report.
2.5 Data verification, entry and analysis

In the production of these reports, NCHE has always been assisted in data entry by
staff of the MOES. In the event that the MOES is not able to release data entrants staff
in time, NCHE recruits locally, especially from students offering Statistics as a course
of study in nearby institutions such as Kyambogo. This particular data analysis took
place from March to April 2011. The work had to contend with the above-mentioned
challenges of data accuracy and completeness. Report writing started early May 2011
and was completed in early August.
2.6 Expected survey outputs

The expected outputs of the 2010 survey of higher education institutions were to:
(a) Establish changes that had taken place since the 2007 survey;
(b) Update data on student statistics (including enrolment, gender, age, place of
origin etc);
(c) Establish the general and unit costs of higher education;
(d) Determine the academic qualifications of staff at each level as well as staff
development;
(e) Assess institutional financial status and sustainability;
(f) Find out enrollment by programmes (especially in science and technology on
one hand and arts/humanities on the other);
(g) Study the employment status of students through tracer study activities
institutions might have undertaken; and
(h) Provide a 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 timely provision of data so that good reporting and effective use of disseminated
information can be achieved and provided to the public by NCHE as required by the
Universities and Other Tertiary Institutions Act, 2001.

Current higher education institutions
3.0 Higher education institutions, 2010
3.1 Introduction
Higher education institutions are learning establishments that admit students with
advanced certificate of education commonly known as A level. They admit students
who have completed full secondary education. Whereas in 2006 there were 148
institutions providing education at that level, the number had grown to 181 in 2010
representing a percentage growth of 18% in the four year period. See Table 3.3 These
institutions were of three types:
3.2 Universities
Universities are the highest institutions of higher education in Uganda. They are
authorized to award degrees, diplomas and certificates. Their distinctive feature is that
they conduct research so that in addition to disseminating knowledge, they create new
knowledge through research and publication. Further, they are institutionally free to
design their curricular, hire and fire both staff and students within the law and set their
vision and mission without interference from external sources. In 2010 the number of
universities increased from 26 to 29, a percentage of 14%. Of these universities five (5)
were public and twenty-four (24) private. Public universities are partly funded and fully
owned by the state. Private universities are owned by individuals or organizations.
There were three university colleges, two private and one public. Colleges are often
owned and are subordinate to the university institutions they are linked to. The private
university colleges were Burham University College (a constituent college Uganda
Christian University) and Kisubi Brothers University College (a constituent college of
Uganda Martyrs University), The existing public university college was the College of
Health Sciences (a constituent college of Makerere University). Makerere University
is in the process of disaggregating into various colleges. NCHE hopes the process will
proceed according to law. Makerere University Business School is still affiliated to
Makerere University. But the process of detaching it from Makerere University is in
its final stages.
In 2010, the National Council for Higher Education licensed the following universities:
(a) International University of East Africa (Provisional License)
(b) Victoria University (Provisional License)
(c) Bugema University (Charter)
During 2010, the National Council for Higher Education revoked the Provisional
License of Lugazi University because the university had become insolvent.
3.3 Other Degree Awarding Institutions

The 2006 amendment of the Universities and Other Tertiary Institutions Act,
introduced a category of higher education institutions called Other Degree Awarding
Institutions. These are higher education institutions that can award degrees, diplomas
and certificate though they are not universities. Such higher education institutions
tend to specialize in one area of study as opposed to universities, which offer many
and diversified programmes. The first such institution to be licensed was the Uganda

Management Institute (UMI) in 2006. This is a public institution. In 2010 the National
Council for Higher Education licensed Team Institute of Business Management as
the first private Other Degree Awarding Institution. The National Council applies
stringent requirements for granting the status of Other Degree Awarding Institutions.
3.4 Other Tertiary Institutions (OTI)

There has been a growth of non-university tertiary institutions officially reffered to
as Other Tertiary Institutions (OTI) from 148 in 2006 to 181 in 2010, an increase of
33 institutions or 22.3%. OTI are higher education institutions that award diplomas
and certificates. This category of institutions has continued to dominate the higher
education sub-sector. The majority of these institutions were private 131 (72%) as
opposed to public ones 50 (28%). During 2010, the National Council granted provisional
license to the following tertiary institutions.

3.5 The general higher education landscape in 2010: the institutions in general
Higher education has continued to register growth in terms of institutions. As will
be noted in Table 3.3 below, colleges of commerce and business studies dominate the
tertiary education landscape (33%), followed by universities representing a distant
second at 16% out of all institutions. Technical colleges represent only 4% out of all
institutions. The closure of Technical institutions such as Uganda Technical College,
Masaka and other middle level skills training institutions in the East is retrogressive.
It is the middle level technicians who build and repair nations. NCHE appeals to those
wishing to establish universities to take the difficult road of starting from scratch
rather than kill middle level institutions.

3.6 Ownership of institutions

Most of the higher education institutions were owned by the private sector. The
private sector owned 130 institutions (72%) compared to 51 public institutions (28%).
Further, the number of public institutions declined by 2%. Table 3.4 below gives the
situation of ownership since 2004.

3.7 Regional distribution

Regional inequality in distribution of higher education institutions has not changed.
In 2010, 98 institutions (54%) were in the Central Region, 37 (20%) in Western Region,
28 (15%) in Eastern Region and 18 (10%) in the Northern Region. More than half of the
institutions in the country are in the Central Region. The Northern Region continues
to be the most disadvantaged region in terms of institutional locations with only 18
institutions, (10%). Table 3.5 below demonstrates the continuing regional inequality
in location of institutions. However if institutions provided data on student origins,
NCHE would be able to work out more accurate levels of access to higher education
on a regional basis. This is not the case as yet. NCHE has been asking institutions
to organize their data in such a way as to reflect access (including gender, regions,
disabilities etc). We hope they will comply next year.

3.8 Concluding remarks to this section.

(a) The number of tertiary institutions increased but the increase has not been
remarkable.
(b) For the first time, a private Other Degree Awarding Institution (Team Institute of
Business Management) was licensed.
(c) The Northern region continues to lag behind in terms of the number of tertiary
institutions located in the region.

Enrolment in higher education institutions
4.0 Enrolment in higher education institutions
4.1 Total enrolments

The number of students accessing higher education has continued to rise. The total
enrolment for 2010 stood at 183985 as opposed to 137190 in 2006. This represents an
increase of 34.1% since 2006 as table 4.1 below shows.
Table 4.1 Enrolment Summary for years 1990s to 2010

%growth 170 122 8.3 23.1 7.3 26.1 14.8 9.4 26.4
From 2000 to 2010, the average annual growth in enrolment has been about 15%, which
is one of the highest in the world.
4.2 Gross enrolment ratio

However, the gross enrolment ratio is still very low. Gross enrolment ratio refers to
the percentage of students registered in higher education regardless of their age as
a percentage of those who should be enrolled for that level and age (see page viii).
Using the total enrolment of 183985 as a percentage of the total population of the
official age for this level, the enrolment ratio was 5.4% in 2010. The enrolment ratio
for this country is still below that of world average of 17.4%. The country needs to aim
at a gross enrolment ratio of 40% in the appropriate academic disciplines to start real
economic development.
4.3 Enrolment by category and discipline

As has been the case in the recent past, the number of students in universities has
continued to rise in comparison with the numbers in other tertiary institutions. At the
university level, the majority of students are enrolled in the arts and the humanities.
The percentage in this category stood at 65% in 2010. This is however a decline from
2005 when this cluster of academic disciplines accounted for about 80% of student
enrolment. This is a most welcome change. While the enrolment in science and
technology stood at 20% in 2005, the enrolment increased to over 30% by 2010.
In terms of numbers, students registered for science and technology rose from 19,401
in 2006 to 45584 in 2010 and those registered for arts and humanities rose from 73,204
to 84,658 in the same period in universities. Government policy of funding students
registered in disciplines considered key to national development has contributed to
this development. However, students registered in science and technology should
reach 40% of the total if the country is to get the required human resources to staff
its economy. The most critical areas are the middle level science based Other Tertiary
Institutions, which the state should regard as vital and sacred, and desist from closing
down.
Table 4.2 below indicates the positive changes that have taken place in the enrolment
structure. The table gives a picture of the enrolment by category of institutions and by
academic discipline.

4.4 Enrolment by gender

Table 4.3 below gives enrolment by gender and by category of institutions. In 2005
females accounted for 40.7% (50,587) of students in higher education institutions
and increased to 42.1% (57,721) in 2006. By 2010 females accounted for 44% (80,391)
compared to males at 56% (103,594). However, females are grossly under- represented
in technical colleges (9%); survey and land management colleges (10%) and in
theological colleges (17%). The areas where the female percentages are higher than
those of males are meteorology (62%); management/social development (57%); and in
commerce/ business (51%).

4.5 Enrolment by national categories (Ugandan/foreigners)

Table 4.4 below gives data by Ugandan and foreign students. In 2006 the number
of foreign students in the higher education sub-sector was 12,930 representing a
percentage of 9.4%. By 2010, there was a decline of 0.4% although in absolute terms
there was an increase from12, 930 in 2005 to 16,224 students in 2010. Most of the foreign
students were enrolled in universities and affiliated colleges, (14,535 or 89.6% of total
foreign students). There were no enrolments of foreign students in meteorology or in
survey and land management colleges. Male foreign students (10,191) were almost
twice the number of female foreign students (6,020). Most of the foreign students were
from Kenya. Others came from Rwanda, Tanzania, Sudan and the Democratic Republic
of the Congo. The major attraction of foreign students is the low fees in Ugandas
institutions of learning.

4.6 Concluding remarks to section
(a) Since 2006, there has been an increase in enrolment of 34.1%. Most of this increase
has been in universities. The country must popularize middle level education.
(b) There has been an increase in enrolment in science and technology. While this
trend is most welcome, the increase is not yet up to the desired level or critical
disciplines where enrolment in science and technology should account for 40%
of the enrolment in the sub-sector.
(c) The growth in the number of foreign students that was registered in the past is
declining. This could be due to the continued under funding of higher education
which is impacting on education inputs and, subsequently, the quality of
education delivered.
(d) Access to higher education continues to be dependant on income. A Fulbright
Century Scholars Programme report produced by the Executive Director NCHE
in 2007/8 confirmed earlier studies by Mohammed Mayanja , Bidemi Carrol and
B. Zziwa that access to higher education was determined by income. It is difficult
for the poor to go to good schools and hence to universities and colleges. This
report will be highlighted later in this publication.
(e) Ugandas Gross Enrollment Ratio of 5.4% is still far below the world average
of over 17%. Increases in numbers have not changed Ugandas global league
position in this area. Therefore more spaces are needed in our tertiary sub-sector.

Academic Programmes
5.0 Academic programmes
5.1 The general picture

The higher education sub-sector has continued to offer a number of academic
programmes. In 2006, the Universities and Other Tertiary Institutions Act, 2001 was
amended. The amended Act required all academic and professional programmes in
higher education institutions to be accredited by the National Council for Higher
Education before they can be taught in higher education institutions. This was a
welcome move towards quality higher education. The amendment, however, caused a
challenge to the National Council for Higher Education. At that time, there were 1088
programmes being taught in universities alone. To accredit so many programmes
in one go required a great deal of time, funds and human resources. Besides, for
universities to continue offering those programmes would mean breaking the law
through no fault of their own. The solution was to grant provisional accreditation to all
existing programmes under what has sometimes been called a blanket accreditation
of programmes. However, all the programmes given this status were old ones being
delivered in universities. In the mean time universities were required to write and
present their programmes to NCHE in a prescribed format for full accreditation. Most of
the diploma programmes in Other Tertiary Institutions remain woefully unaccredited
because of limited financial and human resources capacity. By June 2011, NCHE had
accredited over 400 of those given blanket acceditation. The remaining ones should
be addressed by the end of 2012/13. Table 5.1 shows accredited programmes.

5.2 Academic programmes by levels and discipline

Tables 5.2 and 5.3 show academic programmes delivered by institutions of higher
learning in Uganda in 2011. A total of 2099 programmes were taught in higher education
institutions in the subject period. Of these, 1105 were taught in universities, slightly
more than half of all the programmes recorded. The next biggest batch of programmes
(664) were offered in teacher training colleges followed by management colleges
(114). The largest number of programmes by category was the diploma in business/
commerce (450) followed by bachelors degrees (443) and then masters degrees (233).
It is worth noting that universities conduct 189 diploma programmes compared to 97
or 9% PhD programmes (Figure 5.1). Universities need to concentrate on degree and
postgraduate diploma programmes rather than diplomas and certificates. It is more
expensive to offer programmes in universities than in Other Tertiary Institutions.
Therefore programmes that can be offered at Other Tertiary Institutions should be
given at that level and universities should focus on degrees.

Programmes regarded as key to economic and social development are still few. These
are mainly in science and technology. Whereas in the field of health sciences 0.86%
of programmes were for PhD, only 1.05% programmes were diploma programmes.
The number of diploma programmes should have been much higher than this. This
gap in programme offering in the higher education sub sector may partly explain
the shortages in the health delivery workers industry and construction. The higher
education system is not producing sufficient health workers and technicians. In
engineering 0.86% of the students were registered for bachelors degree programmes
as compared to 0.24% for higher diploma and 0.86% for ordinary diplomas. The
number for diplomas should have been more than four times those registered for
degrees. The lack of funding for, and the closure of middle level training institutions
,partly explains this unfortunate phenomena whereby the few engineers the sub sector
produces have no support staff and why Uganda is importing middle level skilled
workers instead of having her own.

5.4 Academic programmes by schedule

Most of the programmes are daytime programmes (55.6%), followed by evening
programmes (29.7%). There has been a gradual increase in the percentage of evening
programmes since 2006. The 2006 percentage was 58% day and 26% evening
programmes. The question, which arises, is whether those on day and those on evening
programmes get equal time and attention from teaching staff. This is an area where
NCHE may have to do studies in future. Table 5.4 below gives the numbers and the
percentages of the schedules of the programmes in 2010.

5.5 Research
Research is the major occupation of an academic institution of higher learning especially
a university. A university that does not conduct research is no better than a high school.
While a high school is required to teach, universities are required to teach, produce
and disseminate knowledge. Undergraduate programmes have some research papers
but introduction to serious research work takes place at the masters and PhD degree
levels. It is research and commitment to doing research that distinguishes universities
from the lower levels of education. Universities are therefore expected to put aside
some funds for research work. The standard set by the National Council for Higher
Education is 10% of any university budget. As of now, few universities have met this
standard. This is sad and every effort should be made to move towards this goal.
Donors fund most of the research being done in public universities. These include
DFID, NORAD, USAID, SIDA/SAREC etc. In 2009/10 financial year, Parliament voted
funds for research in public universities. This was a welcome move and NCHE hopes
these funds will be regular and substantial. In 2010/11 a sum of shillings 93,200,000 was
released out of the shs.135, 899,000 which was voted by Parliament in that year. The
National Council for Higher Education ably administered the money. This amount
was able to fund only 3 research proposals out of 57 research proposals which were
presented for funding.
5.6 Concluding remarks to section

(a) The National Council for Higher Education has moved forward with the
accreditation of university programmes. There is still a number of universities
and other tertiary institutions which are reluctant to forward their academic

Academic Programmes
programmes to NCHE for accreditation. This is illegal. Students are increasingly

demanding to know whether programmes in their universities or tertiary
institutions are accredited. The accreditation of Other Tertiary Institutions
programmes has been delayed by both lack of NCHE financial and human
capacity and harmonization of the Universities and Other Tertiary Institution
Act with the BTVET Act.
(b) Some institutions do not pay sufficient attention in vetting the programmes
they forward to NCHE for accreditation. Institutional heads should do their
part by sending vetted and cleaned programmes.
(c) There is still the unfortunate tendency in a number of institutions to split

programmes in order to register more students. The desire for student numbers
has increased duplication and reduced content in a number of programmes
especially in business and management studies.
(d) A number of universities have set up quality assurance units and appointed
quality assurance officers. These moves have not yet been universally
accepted by faculties and departments. It is a requirement of NCHE that each
institution should have a Quality Assurance Unit.
(e) There is a need to make programmes taught in higher education institutions

relevant to the needs of the market. This can be achieved in two ways. First and
foremost there is need for studies to find out where graduates are employed,
how long it took them to be employed, what employers think of the relevance
of the knowledge and the skills of the graduates have acquired from higher
education institutions. NCHE is disappointed by the lack of tracer studies
conducted by institutions of higher learning. Many of them do not know
where their students are because of bad data keeping. Secondly, there is need
for involvement of employers, professionals and other relevant stakeholders in
the design of curriculum.
(f) Research leading to knowledge production is the core activity of universities.

The state has begun to fund research, after a withdrawal of more than ten years.
This is a very welcome gesture. Private institutions should allocate at least 10%
of their budget to research.
(g) It is very sad that programmes leading to middle level skills training in technical
areas do not have many students. Closure of middle level programmes to
make room for universities is, and will continue, to have a devastating impact
on Ugandas productive capacity. Unless this trend is reversed, Uganda may
continue to import middle level skilled workers.

6.0 Academic staff
6.1 Introduction
The quality of a higher education institution is, to a large extent, determined by the
quality of its academic staff. In the NCHE Quality Assurance Framework, academic
staff are an important input in the quality assurance process. They are crucial in the
teaching and learning process, in research, creation and dissemination of knowledge.
They play a vital role in stimulating critical thinking among the learners.
6.2 Number of academic staff in 2010

In 2005, the number of academic staff was 5,258 and this grew to 6,465 in 2006. In
2010 the number had grown to 7,785. This is a modest growth since 2005 and 2006.
The number of females is still dismally low compared to that of males (1,990 females
against 5,134). The number of staff with PhD qualifications has grown from 549 in
2004 to 858 in 2010 (Table 6.1).

Academic staff in higher education institutions
6.3 Distribution of academic staff by qualification

The majority of academic staff in higher education institutions are holders of masters
degrees, although this percentage has been falling since 2004. The percentage of
holders of a bachelors degree has slightly increased from 33% in 2004 to 34% in 2010
while that of diploma holders has decreased from 13% in 2004 to 9% in 2010, (Table
6.2). The table below shows the distribution of academic staff by qualifications.

6.4 Adequacy of academic staff

Table 6.3 gives the enrolment, academic staff and the lecturer: student ratio. The ratio
for universities taken as a whole within the standards of NCHE of 1:20. However in
some faculties and departments, this is not so. The ratio deteriorates to about 1:60 and
even worse in some programmes and institutions. The ratio for media colleges of 1:56
is not acceptable and need to be improved.
Table 6.3: Academic staff compared to student enrolments, 2010

Year Enrolment Academic Staff Ratio NCHE standard
2006 137,190 6726 20 Good
2010 183,985 7785 23 Good
6.5 Availability of academic staff

About 31% of academic staff in the higher education sub-sector in 2010 were parttime,
48% of those listed were available to students on a full time basis while 21% could not
be categorised (Table 6.4). Further, we are told that some staff work in more than one
institution on a full time basis. We have not yet done research on this problem.
6.6 Staff development/ training

The constant and speedy changes in knowledge creation and dissemination taking
place in this technical era means that staff must constantly train to keep up with these
changes. Ugandan institutions tried, despite many odds, to send staff for further
studies as Table 6.5 indicates. A total of 1219 staff were undergoing trainings ranging
from PhD to professional certificates programmes. This was an improvement from
the figure of 1,064 in 2006 and 935 in 2005. More than 50% of staff being trained were
from universities (633) and Other Degree Awarding institutions (20). Health colleges
had only 39 staff on training and given the number of these colleges, this number is
good. Colleges of commerce and business had the second highest number of staff
training for higher qualifications (206). Most of them were pursuing masters degree
programmes (91) and postgraduate diploma programmes (44). As can be seen from
Table 6.4 above, the number of female staff studying for higher qualifications was very
low and in many cases none at all.

6.7 Concluding remarks to this section

(a) The number of academic staff has increased from 6465 in 2006 to 7785 in 2010;
reflecting an average increase of 6.8% in three years. This increase is not significant
at all. It does not match the 15% average annual increase in enrolment or the
number of higher education institution. In short, Uganda is facing an academic
staff crisis that must be addressed now.
(b) Staff with PhD increased from 746 to 858, reflecting an increase of 11%. This is the
same range of the increase in 2005 and 2006. In terms of percentages, the number
of staff with masters degree fell from 41% in 2006 to 38% in 2010. Again this is a
developing crisis that the Ministry of Education must address.
(c) The staff: student ratios are still unacceptable according to NCHE standards.
The ratio for universities is 20, for media colleges 56 and for the whole tertiary
education sub-sector 23. These ratios are indicative of a looming quality crisis
that Uganda faces.

7. 0 Physical infrastructure and facilities
7.1 Declines in quality of infrastructures

Physical infrastructure includes lecture rooms, libraries, laboratories, working space,
recreation facilities for students, office space for academic staff and for administrators.
In 2006 we reported that there was an improvement in physical infrastructure of most
institutions. This was in contrast to the situation in 2004 and 2005.
Table 7.1 below gives the physical infrastructure in higher education institutions.
In 2010 space available per student in lecture rooms for universities and affiliated
colleges was 0.50 square meters per student. This compares unfavorably with 0.78
square meters in 2006. This is a decline in availability of space and an increase in
overcrowding. While enrolment has increased, there has not been a corresponding
increase in space for learning.
For library space, the ratio was 0.28 m2 per student in 2006. By 2010 the available Library
space had dropped to 0.13 m2. In agricultural colleges; however, the situation was
satisfactory. Lecture space was 3.45 m2 and workshop space was 2.8 m2 per student.
Here the lecture space was ideal but the workshop space was below acceptable level
of 3 m2 prescribed by NCHE. As for technical colleges, the lecture space of 0.27 m2 per
student was below acceptable levels. Laboratory space of 3.9 m2 was good but 0.8 m2
per student for workshop space per student fell far below the prescribed standard of 3
m2 per student.

7.2 Library space in institutions of higher learning

Libraries are an important component in the provision of quality higher education.

The physical infrastructure
They complement what is taught and help learners in the process of self-directed
learning. Statutory Instruments No. 85 of 2005 sets out standards for university
libraries. Standards for other tertiary institutions are yet to be worked out. Overall
library space per student deteriorated. Whereas space per student was 0.28m2 in 2006,
it had fallen to 0.14m2 per student in 2010. That is the overall picture. The decline is
also evident if one looks at types of institutions. For universities and affiliated colleges
the decline was from 0.2m2 in 2006 to 0.13m2 in 2010. While student numbers have
increased, library space has not increased to match the numbers.
The worst ratio was in technical colleges where the space was 0.03 m2. The best of the
worst was agricultural colleges with the space of 0.84 m2 per student. It is disappointing
that universities and affiliated colleges whose students need to do research and self
directed studies can offer a paltry 0.13m2 per student. The NCHE standard is 2m2 per
student.

7.3 Lecture space.
Whereas total lecture space in 2006 was 130,825m2 equivalent to 0.95m2 per student,
lecture space had decreased to 123,290m2 by 2010, a decline in terms of space available
to student to 0.67 m2 from 0.5m2. For universities, the space available per student was
0.6m2 in 2010. There has been a decrease and this is unfortunate. The standard set by
NCHE is 2m2 per student. The only category of institutions that had sufficient space
were agricultural (3.45m2), media (11.83m2), meteorological (13.08m2) and Art and
Design (17.74 m2) as Table 7.2 shows.
7.4 Labs/workshop space.

Over all lab and workshop space was 0.3m2 and 0.2m2 per student respectively in
2010. These are far below the standard of 2m2 set by NCHE. The only category of
institutions which met the standards for lab space was technical colleges (3.9m2). All
the other categories were far below the standards; and miserably so.

7.5 Education facilities

Education facilities include all education inputs including books (both hard and
electronic), computers (hard and software), laboratory in-puts (chemicals and other
elements, equipments and other needed hardware).
7.6 Library Books

The current number of books in higher education institutions is not impressive. The
standard set by the NCHE is 40 books per student. Only theological colleges (235
books per student) met this standard (Table 7.2). Universities and affiliated colleges
had only 10 books per student. It is the hope of the National Council for Higher
Education that universities will put more money on library budgets so that libraries
can purchase both electronic and hard copy books. With nine books per student,which
is the average, a reading culture cannot be passed on to all graduates.
7.7 Access to computers

In higher education, computers and connectivity to the Internet provide access to vast
resources of information for educators and learners. Because of the speed of modern
computers and the power of the Internet, access to a vast array of information is made
easy and fast. In universities and affiliated colleges, there were 6,939 computers for
an enrolment of 130,256 students and this gave a ratio of 18 students per computer
(Table 7.3). This is within the acceptable range of 20 students per computer. There is
need for universities to strive to reach the ratio of 10 students per computer. The ratios
became unacceptable in health institutions (58 students per computer), management
institutions (42 students per computer) and Teachers colleges (59 students per student).
Out of a total of 8480 computers in universities and affiliated institutions, only 1799
were connected to the Internet. This is a very low connectivity rate in institutions where
research and access to information are very important. Further, many computers in
institutions are not for student use.

Financing higher education
8.0 Funding of higher education institutions.
8.1 Higher education institutions are not well funded.

Ugandan higher education institutions are not funded sufficiently to cover the cost
of inputs in order to get good outputs. The under funding cuts across all institutions:
public and private, universities and Other Tertiary Institutions. Most institutions
are dependant on fees for their budget instead of having diversified sources. This
is true even of public universities. For example, Government funding of Makerere
University declined from 100% in 1993/4 to 41% in 2005/6 (Table 8.1 and Figure 8.1).
Money collected from students has progressively contributed a growing share of the
institutions budget from 17% in 1995/6 to 59% in 2005/6. This trend is visible in most
institutions of learning.

However, a student sponsored by the government pays more than a private student in actual figures
as fees, but since private students are more than government sponsored ones, institutions value
private students.
8.2 Public universities need more funding from the State

Table 8.2 shows that the government could have done more to contribute to the
funding of higher education. Neighbouring countries like Kenya and Tanzania spend
almost 1% as a percentage of GDP on their public universities. However, the Uganda
governments contribution has averaged 0.35% as a percentage of GDP in the period
1997/8 to 2009/10 as the following table indicates.

8.3 Higher education unit costs.

Since institutions of higher learning derive most of their sources of income from fees,
they would, if they were left to themselves, increase fees to match or surpass what
it costs them to educate a student (unit cost). However, the real cost of educating a
higher education student is far higher than the per capita income of Ugandans. Most
Ugandans would not afford to pay if fees were based on unit costs. That option is
therefore not a very wise one to adopt. The National Council for Higher Education
realizes this problem. However, it is the legal mandate of NCHE to provide to the
Minister and the public correct higher education information so that policy can be
formulated on the basis of correct data. That is one of the reasons NCHE surveys
the cost of providing higher education. Society has to resolve this problem instead of
pushing it to institutions or government alone. All stakeholders must suggest options.
In the last ten years, efforts to establish a unit cost for higher education have been
contested. In 2002/4, Makerere Institute of Social Research conducted a unit cost study.
But the figures were considered too high and were not accepted. The National Council
for Higher Education conducted a unit cost study but we were told the figures were
too high. The government asked the Auditor General to spearhead the study of the
unit costs for Higher Education. Table 8.3 represents the summary of the unit costs as
produced by the Auditor General.

Unit Cost Study of Education at Public Universities in Uganda May 2010 sponsored by the Office of
the Auditor General (produced by AH Consultants.
Meanwhile, from December 2010 to April 2011, the National Council for Higher
Education, as mandated by Section 5 of the Act, decided to conduct annual studies
of financial and human resources,as well as unit costs. National Council for Higher
Education decided to restrict these studies to public universities focusing on a few
programmes. The institutions studied for unit costs were Makerere Univeristy, Gulu
University, Mbarara University of Science and Technology, Kyambogo University and
Makerere University Business School . NCHE was unable to get figures from Busitema
University. The summarized unit costs for the period 2008/9figures were as follows:
(a) Bachelor of Agriculture 9,406,106.000
(b) Bachelor of Arts 4,252,764.000
(c) Bachelor of Development Studies 4,019,799.000

(j) Bachelor of Statistics 4,003,911.000
(k) Bachelor of Information Technology 3,364,669.000
These figures are neither fees nor a prescription for increasing fees. They are calculated
to let the public know the cost of educating their children.
8.4 Education is an income earner

Currently Uganda has an edge as an exporter of education in the Great Lakes Region
of East Africa. As noted in Section 4.5 of this report, most students come to Uganda
because there are low fees to be paid in this country. If, however, the quality of higher
education keeps dropping, the numbers of foreign students will gradually drop. As

noted again in 4.5, this is already happening. Table 8.4 gives a glimpse of what Uganda
earned in the years 2003 to 2007 from export of education in comparison to sources
from other sectors.

However, this income is not sustainable because student inflows into the country are
neither predictable nor controllable. As noted above, there was a decline in the number
of foreign students coming into the country. That means less cash inflow.
8.5 Conclusions to this section

(a) Fees cannot be the main or sole source of income for higher education
institutions. Owners of institutions should aggressively diversify sources of
income for their institutions.
(b) Although Ugandans are poor, a good number of those who reach higher
education institutions can contribute to their education. The poor students
should prove their poverty so as to get education loans. The government
should therefore establish a Student Loan Scheme as soon as possible to
identify poor students and get them loans. A loan scheme, however, does not
mean that a scholarship scheme (or current sponsorship scheme) that benefits
brilliant students studying programmes that are key to development should
be abandoned. Both can, and should, run side by side.
(c) The government should fund public universities using unit cost figures
produced by the Auditor Generals study. This report, together with other
efforts, has established that institutions of higher education get less than what
it costs them to produce an educated student. As a result of underfunding,
institutions cut on education facilities and other inputs. The results are that
Uganda will not only continue to produce less educated products but also its
market edge as an exporter of education will be undermined.
(d) If Uganda wishes to continue benefitting from education as an export item, it
must provide quality education. Formerly, foreign students were attracted to
Uganda because of the low fees paid. However, the latter seems to be eating
into the quality of education and is, in turn, reducing the number of foreign
students coming into Uganda. The consequence is reduced capital inflow on
this front.

9. 0 Access to higher education: Whose children benefit from higher

education?
9.1 Introduction: A study to determine the socio-economic origins of university

students
In the period 2007/8, a study to assess the socio-economic origins of university students
was conducted by the Executive Director of the National Council for Higher Education
using a Fulbright grant under the New Century Scholars Program. Mr. James Chiria,
then a statistician at the NCHE, assisted him in conducting the study. The aim of the
study was to confirm or refute earlier studies to answer the same question what is the
socio-economic status of Ugandas university? whose children benefit from university
education? We are constantly reminded that university students are very poor and
so fees should be kept as low as the parents can afford irrespective of the cost of
producing a graduate. For NCHE to give the government advice on this topic, it was
necessary to base its conclusions on researched data. Many earlier studies had come to
the conclusion that the percentage of students from poor homes who reach university
level is not high.
This study of university students by the Executive Director, like those of Goldthorpe
(1965), Barkan (1976), Liang and Rwasheema (2001), Mohammed Mayanja (1998),
Bidemi Carrol (2005),Carol (2005) Hassan Badru Zziwa (2006), Alice Emas and Kwesiga
(2003), came to the conclusion that the children who go to our universities, some of
whom are paid for by tax payers money through the sponsorship scheme, come from
relatively better off social economic background than the general Ugandan population
as established by the Uganda National Household and Uganda Demographic and
Health surveys conducted by the Ugandan Bureau of Statistics. Indeed income is a
major factor for accessing the good schools that permit these students to go to public
universities and access government funds through sponsorship. Children from poor
families are unlikely to do the same because poor parents cannot afford fees paid in the
nursery schools, the boarding primary and secondary schools that prepare students to
excel in examinations. It is true that some children from poor homes may sneak into
universities. But these are few.
9.2 Methodology
NCHE came to the above conclusion through conducting two studies of:
(a) Some 749 students from Makerere, Kyambogo, Gulu, Mbarara, Ugandan
Christian University, and Uganda Martyrs University from May to
December 2007 ; and
(b) 665 government sponsored students from Makerere, Kyambogo, Mbarara,
and Gulu in May August 2008
In the two studies, social economic indicators instead of cash income were used as
proxy for income because it is difficult to know the monetary cash income of many
Ugandans. Many Ugandans are not willing to reveal what their income is. Employment
status of the parents, the source of income of the parents and, most important, the
household items of the homes from which the students come were used as indices of
wealth.

Access higher education
9.3.1 Households items as indicators of social economic status

Using household items as indicators of economic social status, the survey revealed that
the majority of Ugandan university student come from families:
(a) Whose houses are built with brick and mortar (71.7%, 58.4% as compared to
53.4% in the general population);
(b) With piped water (26.8%) compared to a few in the general population (no
UBOS figure;
(c) Homes with electricity as a source of lighting (41%), with kerosene (31%);
(13%) with tadooba, (4%) firewood and (2%) candle for the same task;
(d) With flush toilets (4.2%) compared (no UBOS figure);
(e) With a fridge (20.9%) compared to (6.2%) in the general population;
(f) Owned a video (22.1%) compared to (no UBOS figure);
(g) Own a computer (14.9%) compared to (no UBOS figure);
(h) Have internet access (2%) compared to (no UBOS figure);
(i) Own Radio (87.2%) compared to (63%) in the general population;
(j) Own a car (37.1%, 21.1%) compared to (6.7%) in the general population ;
(k) Have fixed phones (20.4%) compared to (0.6%) in the general population; and
(l) Own motorcycles (56.4%)compared to (39.2%) in the general population.
9.3.2 On the education of parents of students of our university students.

The study found out that the majority of university students have parents who are
relatively more educated than those in the general population, with fathers having
higher qualifications than mothers:
(a) 24.8%, 17.9% of fathers had bachelors degrees compared to 4.7% in the general
population;
(b) 15%, 7.4% of mothers had Bachelors degree compared 2.2% in the general
population; and
(c) Only 10.6%, 11.1% of parents had not gone to school as compared to 28.3% in
the general population. The fact that parents of some 10.6% of students in the
first survey and 11.1% in the second survey are uneducated (i.e. had never
gone to school and are most likely to be poor) indicates that there are brilliant
students from needy families who reach university and should be assisted by
the state. A means test must be used to isolate these individuals for assistance.
In many African countries, higher education is associated with higher income because
those with it have opportunities to get salaried or skilled employment. This is not
different in Uganda.
9.3.3 The sources of income of the parents of students in our university system:
(a) The majority of students have parents who get salaries as a source of income
33.1% as compared to 20.8% in the general population;
(b) A number of students have parents with businesses (2.2%, 20.6%) compared to
18.8% in the general population;
(c) However, a number of parents derive their income from farming (36.6%, 30.5%)
as compared to 51.9% in the general population.

Generally, in Uganda, people with a salaried income if employed by government or

major companies have more secure sources of income than the self employed ones.
However, as economic development picks up, this may not remain the same.
9.3.4 Region of origin

Most students in the sample came from the Central Region (34.4%), followed by the
Western Region (30.5%), the Eastern Region (18%) and the Northern Region (17.1%).
Higher education should overcome this regional inequality by affirmative action.
9.3.5 Gender of the students in the sample

(a) The sample in survey two had 33% female as compared to 67% male;
(b) 30.9% of males came from families whose fathers had a university degree
compared to 20.6% for female students;
(c) Only 5.8% of females came from less educated fathers as compared to 14.4%
males;
(d) Further, only 10.2% of females came from homes with less educated mothers as
compared to 24.7% males. Two conclusions can be made:
(i) Educated parents tend to value the education of their daughters more
than poor uneducated parents; and
(ii) Families whose source of income is farming are more likely to take male
students to university as compared to females.
This confirms earlier studies.
(e) There was also a significant difference on gender in families of government
employees as 25% of females (in the second sample) came from families whose
parents were working with government as compared to 16.8% or less in the
general population.
9.4 Concluding remarks to this section

(a) It is very clear from this study, as well as in the previous ones, that access to
higher education, particularly university education, is determined by income,
which is highly inequitable. Access to our universities favours students from
well to do families. Access to university and scholarships (or government
sponsorship) are therefore highly inequitable. It is evident that class, gender and
region determine access to higher education in this country. The current model
of funding higher education disadvantages the poor, females and people from
peripheral areas of the state. The quota system was a positive move but difficult
to administer.

(b) The Loan Scheme is the most desirable and feasible to start with in the
circumstances. Moreover, the National Council for Higher Education has
done all the necessary homework including the drafting of a possible law to
operationalize the scheme. There is no need to re-invent the wheel. The horses
should start pulling the cart. Provided a system of identifying needy students
and a repayment mechanism is included in the law, the scheme should be tried.
This is how needy students should be helped without undermining the quality
of inputs in education by denying institutions full unit cost payments.

Graduate tracer study
10.0 Where do higher education graduates go after completing their

courses of study?
10.1 Introduction
Institutions of higher learning and the National Council for Higher Education are
constantly asked where their students would be employed. NCHE is aware that many
parents and students see the road end of education as employment. But many students
do not get employment immediately or are unable to set up their own businesses.
Many graduates take years to get jobs.
10.2 Need for tracer studies

The National Council also realizes that the education of students is not the responsibility
of educational institutions only. It is equally the responsibility of society that must
provide the markets and workplaces where not only graduates will be employed but
also guide curriculum design to reflect the market in the classrooms. Both the higher
education institutions and the workplace determine whether graduates will or will
not be employed.
The National Council for Higher Education therefore undertook a tracer study in 2006
to find out where university graduates were most needed in the market as a way
of advising potential graduates on programmes to select. The NCHE study followed
Sameer a Sammaria and Paul Bennets study completed in 2003 and published by
the Institute of Development Studies at the University of Sussex. The latter study
was entitled Where has all the education gone in Africa? Employment outcomes
among secondary school and university leavers. The survey covered over 5000
graduates from Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda and Zimbabwe. The conclusions of the
survey was that most university graduates eventually get employed that: In general,
employment outcomes are considerably better than expected. However, the tracer
surveys highlight the enormous challenges of educating and subsequently utilizing
secondary school levers and university graduates in an efficient and effective manner
in low income African countries. In particular, given the paucity of new employment
opportunities in the formal sector, much more needs to be done in order to ensure that
both these groups are better prepared for productive self employment, specially in
high growth and higher skill activities. Improving the overall quality of higher and
secondary education is also absolutely critical.
10.3 The National Council tracer study of 2006

In 2006, the National Council for Higher Education contracted the Makerere Institute
of Social Research to study where Ugandas higher education students go after
completion of their courses. The study was a limited one due to lack of resources and
staff capacity. The study comprised of two sections namely:
(a) graduate tracer study, which focused on identifying where and the conditions
under which university graduates were employed, by course and by institution. It
also considered the length the graduates take before they get gainful employment
and the relevance of courses offered by tertiary institutions from the perspective
of the graduates. Analysis took into considered equity issues such as gender and
socio economic status; and
(b) The employer expectations study, focused on the expectations and rating of
employees from the various disciplines and institutions by employers in terms
of quality and relevance. The study derived recommendations on attributes
that would improve the relevance of higher education.
The studies focused on only one cohort of graduates for the year 2002 from Makerere
University, Islamic University in Uganda (IUIU), Mbale; Uganda Martyrs University
(UMU) Nkozi and Mbarara University Science and Technology. The other tertiary
institutions of Lira Technical College, Bukalasa Agricultural College and Makerere
Business Institute (MBI), Bushenyi Technical College and Busitema Agriculture College
were also part of the cohort for the study. The study covered the whole country.
The study targeted 995 graduates of both university and other tertiary institutions and
120 employers. Seven hundred and seven (707) graduates were traced. However, five
hundred and sixty six (566) graduates successfully responded to the instruments while
96 employers responded to the employers expectation surveys giving a response rate
of 58% and 80% respectively.
The study further focused on the disciplines of: Basic Science, Engineering, Architecture,
Human Medicine, Veterinary Medicine Agriculture, Development Studies, Arts, Social
Science. Law, Commerce and Business Administration in universities, and focused on
Agriculture, Engineering and Business Education in the other tertiary institutions.
Out of the 566 graduates interviewed, 61% were males and 39% were females, four
hundred and twenty eight (428) had university degrees while one hundred and thirty
eight (138) had diplomas from Other Tertiary Institutions.
From the study, a number of conclusions were drawn about the employment
opportunities for fresh graduates, the relevance of higher education institutions in
meeting the labour market needs and the labour market situation in Uganda. The
following were the major conclusions which also address the research questions that
the studies set out to answer.
(a) Parents with higher education qualifications are more likely to educate their
children but this was particularly so if a father was educated. Other equity issues
were found to be insignificant.
(b) There is need for higher education institutions to adopt policies that promote the
participation of students in research and their involvement in policy formulation,
review and/or implementation.
(c) Library services across the majority of the HEIs in Uganda are still poor and there
are hardly any opportunities for individual students to influence study programs
in the HEIs in Uganda.
(d) Most of the graduates are employed by the private sector including self-employed
and private international followed by the public sector including Central
government, local governments and government agencies. Higher education
graduates are therefore in nearly all sectors of the economy namely Agriculture,
Construction, Higher Education, Finance/Banking, Health, Hotel & Tourism,
Manufacturing, Public Administration, Social Work, Trade, Transport, Judiciary,
Insurance, Telecommunication, Broadcasting and Energy/Fuel, with Public
Administration, particularly local governments, absorbing the largest number.

Graduate tracer study
(e) Most graduates got some form of gainful employment within one year of
completion of studies and a good number got jobs in the first three months.
(f) Area of study is the single most important attribute for securing gainful
employment. The recruitment for jobs in Uganda is not riddled with corruption
(non-transparency), bribery, nepotism, or gender discrimination as held by many
but is based on merit.
(g) The labour market in Uganda is still short of doctors in human medicine, engineers,
information technology graduates, lawyers and science teachers. However, the
market is fast saturating with graduates of Arts teachers, secretaries, social work,
finance and accounts. This is an indication that Human medicine, engineering,
information technology, marketing and law are under-supplied while teachers
(except science teachers), social sciences, finance and accounts, and agriculture
are over-supplied in the market.
(h) Both men and women have fairly equal opportunities for employment and career
development although some sectors seem to employ more of one sex than the
other. Unlike in other studies where women were found to earn less than men
in similar positions, in Uganda women earn the same remuneration packages as
men in similar positions.
(i) Generally the knowledge and skills got by graduates of higher education
institutions were relevant for the world of work places to a high extent. Specialised
programs prepare graduates for the work place better than general programs.
Arts and Social sciences programs were increasingly not meeting the expectations
of graduates at work places.
(j) There is need to strike a balance between theory and practical training on all
undergraduate and diploma programs. The Law Program needs urgent attention
to assess the relevance of African History as part of its curriculum. This calls for
general curricula review
(k) Higher education institutions also need to acquire appropriate tools/equipment
and computers to facilitate learning in all these programs.
(l) The main procedure used in the recruitment of graduates is advertisement in the
newspapers and/or through internal advertisements. Record keeping in most
institutions and employers surveyed is still poor.
(m) Most organisations have developed in-house policies aimed at equipping fresh
graduates with desired job related skills through orientation and continuous
relevant training to fresh graduates who join their organisations in order to equip
them with job related skills. These interventions are in keeping with modern
human resources management practices and greatly compliment education
received on basic higher education programs.
10. 4 Recommendations by the study
(a) Higher education institutions should consider adopting policies that promote the
participation of students in research and their involvement in policy formulation,
review and/or implementation.
(b) Higher Education Institutions should develop policies that encourage individual
students to influence study programs in those institutions.
(c) While gender mainstreaming seem to be taking ground in the labour market, it
is important that the affirmative action is continued for sometime.
(d) National Council for Higher Education should enforce its minimum standards
for library services in higher education institutions.
(e) The higher education institutions should be deliberately supported to produce

those skills for which there are not enough on the market. These include human
medicine, engineering, information technology, science teachers, marketing and
law.
(f) There is need to introduce and emphasize the importance of efficient record
keeping in nearly all disciplines in higher education institutions. This could be
offered as a cross-cutting course across all disciplines.
(g) Curriculum issues need to be looked into by NCHE which may wish to consider
further studies to review in greater details the curricula of all the higher educations
institutions with a view to making such curricula more relevant and practical
with the appropriate content.
(h) At policy level, NCHE may need to study further the staffing needs and
remuneration issues of all higher education institution so as to improve staff
retention in these institutions
(i) Strengthen higher education institution - private sector linkages/partnerships.

been published.
11.3.2 The Finance Department

This Department is manges the finances of Council. As it is a critical department, the
Executive Director has worked with it very closely and we hope the addition of an
Internal Auditor to be hired soon should ease financial administration. The accounts
of NCHE are audited by the Auditor General and are up to date.
11.3.3 Library, Documentation and Information Support Services

This Department, due to lack of resources, has a few staff (Mr. Birungi, George Ebine,
Martin Osikei and Maria Nakachwa). It has been the Councils window to the public
and publishes most of NCHEs publications including the following:
(i) Publication of Journals on Higher Education issues

Section 5 (o) of the Act requires NCHE to collect, examine, and publish information
relating to higher education and this Department has produced the following journals
to fulfill the same:
(a) The Uganda Higher Education Review Vol. 1 no. 1, April 2004.
(b) The Uganda Higher Education Review Vol. 1 no. 2, Oct 2004.
(c) The Uganda Higher Education Review Vol.2 no. 1, April 2005.
(d) The Uganda Higher Education Review Vol.2 no. 2, Oct 2005.
(e) The Uganda Higher Education Review Vol.3 no. 1, April 2006.
(f) The Uganda Higher Education Review Vol.3 no. 2, Oct 2006.
(g) The Uganda Higher Education Review Vol.4 no. 1, April 2007.
(h) The Uganda Higher Education Review Vol.4 no. 2, Oct 2007.

NCHE Achievements,
(i) The Uganda Higher Education Review Vol.5 no. 1, April 2008.
(j) The Uganda Higher Education Review Vol.5 no. 2, Oct 2008.
(k) The Uganda Higher Education Review Vol.6 no 1 April 2009.
(l) The Uganda Higher Education Review Vol.6 no. 2 October 2009.
(ii) Publication of Legal Documents

In co-operation with the Accreditation Department and Legal Officer, the Library,
Documentation and Information Support Services has published the following. It is
my hope that a fully fledged Legal Department will be established soon to undertake
the production and publication of legal materials.
(a) Operation of Private Universities and Private Tertiary Institutions (SI No.80 of
2005)
(b) Institutional Standards (SI No.85 of 2005)
(c) Letters of Interim Authority for Private Universities and Provisional Licence for
Private Other Degree Awarding Institutions regulations (SI No.61 of 2007)
(d) Naming of Universities and Other Degree Awarding Institutions regulations.
(SI No.1 of 2007)
(e) Equating of degrees, diplomas and certificates regulations. (SI No.62 of 2007)
(f) Minimum Entry Requirements for admission to Universities or other Tertiary
Institutions (SI No.63 of 2007)
(g) General Quality Assurance regulations (SI No.34 of 2008)
(h) Honorary Degrees and Academic Titles regulations (SI No.50 of 2010)
11.3.4 The Administration Department

Professor Abdu B.K.Kasozi has been the Executive Director of the NCHE for Higher
Education since its inception. He works closely with all departments especially the
Administration Department which, is being restructured and care taken of by another
officer.
11.4 Shortage of staff has been blurring departmentalization

The shortage of staff in the past, and to some extent now, has meant that people
have been called upon to do what they were not employed to do according to their
appointment letters. This eased the work in the past. In 2003, the staff of Council were
3 officers and 2 support staff. Currently, the staff stands at 22 officers and 9 support
staff. The situation is gradually being improved.
11.5 Funding
Funding has been inadequate in the past. However, with the realization of the work
NCHE does, Government increased funding and asked students to contribute one
currency point to supplement what NCHE gets. We hope that student contributions
of one currency point a year to NCHE will help this country to have quality higher
education. Due to good performance, NCHE has in the past been able to attract
funding for projects from donors including the Rockfeller Foundation, the Ford
Foundation, Carnegie Corporation and the Netherlands Government. However, all
the donor money were project-specific and so could not resolve the massive financial
requirements of NCHE.
