The production of Council’s 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 Council’s 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 Oci� i, 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 eff ort in this and other Council’s tasks. Your eff orts, cooperation and dedication is enabling Council to develop as an eff ective 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.

In this context, science refers to physical, natural, health, mathematical, engineering, computer, agricultural, architectural, forestry and fi sheries sciences. It does not include social or metaphysical sciences.

Executive summary

1 The National Council for Higher Education

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 InstitutionsThe 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 EnrolmentThere 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-off er 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 relevanceIn 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 off ered do not place Uganda on the international market and do not make higher education a sustainable export product for Uganda. The relevance of programmes off ered is still questionable and too o� en they are theoretical. Memorisation rather than problem solving was the preferred and widespread method of education delivery in 2006. A serious eff ort 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 PublicationsMost 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 fulfi lling 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 suffi ciency 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 fi gure represents only 45% of the total number of academic staff . Part-time staff represent too high a fi gure and o� en 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 diff erent types. This was an improvement compared to the 935 in 2005.

1.1.6 InfrastructureIn 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 facilitiesSince 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 fi gures, 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 educationHigher education in Uganda is fi nanced 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 fi nancial 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 GovernanceGenerally speaking, governance of institutions is improving. The role of the NCHE is more and more accepted and the Secretariat was always in a be� er position to advise institutions on this ma� er. 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 fi gures (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 intensifi ed

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 glorifi ed 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 studentsxiii. 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 aff ects the quality of data, is possible. This is Council’s third report of the status of higher education. The fi rst, 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 aff ord to send data collectors to the fi eld and, accordingly, maintained the following cost eff ective strategies with slight variation in line with its limited budget:

a) Primary sourceSelf-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, fi lled by top administrative offi cers and endorsed by heads of institutions, were to be submi� ed 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 submi� ed to NCHE Quality Assurance Commi� ee. 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 institution’s capacity to deliver quality education on a continuous and sustainable basis.

2.2 Instruments of data collectionThe structured questionnaire was still a major data collection instrument. It had the following advantages;

Methodology


• The data collection instrument used accommodated the specifi c needs and interests of the Ministry, NCHE and other stakeholders

• The instrument had a joint statement on the top of fi rst 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 Council’s 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 collectionThe 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 verifi cation, 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, a� er 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 offi cers 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 aff ected 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 fi lled 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% submi� ed. The analysis, fi ndings 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 verifi cation, 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 qualifi cations of staff at each level, and staff development; • assess institutional fi nancial 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 eff ective use of disseminated information can be achieved.

3.0 Higher Education institutions in 2006

3.1 Introduction

Higher Education Institutions are education organizations that off er 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.

In the same year Council licensed the following institutions with the following category of licenses:

iii. A charter was recommended by Council to:* Nkumba University, June 23, 2006

3.2.2 Enrolments in universitiesUniversities continued to a� ract 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 ma� er 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 off er 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 admi� ed do so a� er failing to be admi� ed 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 a� itude change towards graduates of these institutions may not resolve the problem.

3.4 Other Tertiary Institutions licensed in 2006In 2006, Council granted the following Other Tertiary Institutions provisional licences to operate:

3.5 Changes that took place in 2006The 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, Nge� a 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 a� itudinal 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 Nge� a, Nkozi and Masindi. Yet otherinstitutions 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 eff ect of these changes was the reduction of institutions from 157 in 2005 to 148 in 2006.these changes was the reduction of institutions from 157 in 2005 to 148 in 2006.these changes was the reduction of

3.6 Ownership of institutionsThe 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)

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, a� er 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 a� ain legal status in due course; and,• Originally under the Universities and Other Tertiary Institutions Act 2001, the Council did

not have suffi cient 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 confi dent 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 eff ective 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-off er 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 enrolmentLike 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 Uganda’s 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

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.

Graph 4.1: Enrolment growth over the period 1970-2006

4.2 CoverageCoverage refers to the number of people in the population who access (i.e. actually receive) higher education. Using the fi gure 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 offi cial school age for that level) the fi gure is the same as last year (i.e. approximately 4.1%). Even if the fi gure 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. Uganda’s 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 categoryThe 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 a� itudes, 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 affi rmative policy for science and technology until the two areas balance at 50%

4.5 Enrolment by genderIn 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 nationalityThe 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 infl ow (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 a� er remitences by Uganda nationals $ 500m, coff ee $170m, fi sh 143m and co� on $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 signifi cantly. 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 be� er invest in education to improve the a� ractiveness 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 IntroductionThe higher education sub-sector off ers 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 off er programmes that lead to the award of diplomas and certifi cates, universities cover a multiplicity of academic programmes at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Public universities have more diversifi ed 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 off er 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 off ered the arts and humanities instead.

Moreover, the higher education sub-sector is not integrated or diversifi ed. Each institution seemed inclined to operate in isolation, quite oblivious to the academic programmes being off ered in sister institutions. This “closed” higher education system continues to deny students fl exibility and mobility amongst institutions and disciplines, as well as making informed academic programme choices while pursuing their higher education.

5.2 Content and diversityThe academic programmes off ered 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 certifi cate 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 certifi cates. These fi gures 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 relevanceMost 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 scheduleOne area that Ugandan institutions have responded to are the needs of the market in form of identifying target students. The sector is becoming more fl exible in the time they deliver higher education in order to a� ract students. Institutions no longer open their classes only during the traditional daytime shi� s. 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 a� end 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 off ered 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 ResearchMost 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-fulfi lment of Master’s 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. Uganda’s 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 educationThe implementation of academic programmes has been hampered by fi nancial constraints, bad governance, outdated curricula, institutional inability to recruit and retain qualifi ed 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 fi nd it diffi cult to complete their programme and receive a lot more theoretical than practical training. Unless the issue of fi nancing 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 suffi ciency of education facilities, (e) research and publication, (f) the quality of outputs, (g) the institutions’ fi nancial management, (h) the university and the community.

Academic programmes


5.7 Co-operative education, internship or market a� achments

There are a few traditional programmes where students are required to get a market a� achment 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 a� achment 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 a� achment/ internship. The National Council for Higher Education believes that market a� achments 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 a� achments 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 cu� ing 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 suffi ciency 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 Uganda’s 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 Distribution of the academic staff

Table 6.2 and Appendix 6.1 show the distribution of academic staff by qualifi cations and institutional categories. The universities had the lion’s share of highly qualifi ed 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 diff erent 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 refl ect the big diff erences 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 technical colleges fell short of acceptable levels. Amongst the universities, the ratios of Makerere and technical colleges fell short of acceptable levels. Amongst the universities, the ratios ofand 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; 2000-2006There are many staff who leave the academic staff especially in the key areas of science and technology. Their fl ight 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 commi� ed 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 staffi ng in higher education institutions to acceptable levels, it is necessary to:

i. Increase benefi ts to a� ract and retain staff ;ii. Treat the academic profession diff erently with fl exible terms of service regarding mandatory

retirement, single spine salary structures, merit and experience-based promotions, etc.;iii. A� ract eminent professors from around the world to tap their academic experience and

reputations;iv. Hike the retirement age to 70 years to a� ract seasoned staff . On this ma� er, a number of

universities in the region have raised the retirement age: Egerton 65, Kenya� a 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 qualifi cations including masters, bachelors, diplomas and certifi cates. 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 eff orts. 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 eff orts 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 offi ce 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 spaceTotal 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 NCHE’s 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.

7.3 Library spaceThe library, together with a� endant 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 spaceOur survey in 2006 indicated that less than 50% of higher education institutions have suffi cient 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 off er 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 Offi ce spaceIn 2006 as was the case in 2005, offi ce space remains a major constraint cu� ing across all higher education institutions – public and private. There was an acute shortage of offi ce space for staff , administrators and students. In a number of institutions, including universities, four to ten members of staff were sharing an offi ce. 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 therea� er because they had no convenient private rooms for private study or student counselling.

7.6 Halls of residence and student welfareThe 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 off er. 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 fi gures 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 signifi cantly 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 eff ectively a� ract foreign students whose fees and expenditure in the Ugandan market contribute to capital infl ow.

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 IntroductionIncreasing students’ enrolment in higher education institutions since 2000 has not been matched by a corresponding growth in education facilities. Unless the current imbalance is rectifi ed, the arrival of the fi rst 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 off er 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/accessThe 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 ICTsThe 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 offi ces and libraries, the National Council for Higher Education is pleased with this development.

The number of institutions with websites improved marginally from 42 to 46, meaning that only 31% 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 booksBooks (and journals) whether hard or so� , remain the major depository of knowledge that institutions of higher learning employ to store and disseminate information.

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 a� ractiveness 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 eff orts in acquiring relevant books, both hard and electronic.



9.0 Financing higher education in Uganda

9.1 Financing methods Higher education in Uganda is fi nanced 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. O� en 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, fi nished items etc).

9.2 Expenditure pa� erns of institutionsAlthough both public and private universities have improved in allocation priorities of their funds and transparency in fi nancial management, a lot remains to be done. Tables 9.1 and 9.2, fi gures 9.1 and 9.2 as well as appendix 9.1 indicate the fi nancial expenditure pa� erns 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 pu� ing 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 li� le on core academic items of books and equipment (0.1% and 2.5% for books and 0.6% and 2.8% for equipment). Finally, li� le 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 universitiesThe 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 onlyonly 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 Council’s view that adequate fi nancing 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 fi ve 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 feesWe pointed out in last year’s State of Higher Education report that the fees students were paying were far lower than the unit cost as we know the la� er 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.

Table 9.4: Actual and preferred unit costs 2001/2002 of MISR study

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.

2. Figures used for Makerere University were downloaded from Website as of June 20, 2005 3. Program where diff erent rates are charged within it (e.g. day, distance and evening)were averaged 4. These rates are for few institutions that submi� ed their fees structures 5. Mainly Tuition fees have been considered 6. The website for Indian data: h� p://www.edcil.co.in/mail/homepage.nsf/Students% 20placement? Open page 7. India manufactures most of the inputs locally and educators are either locally trained or are Indian.

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 country’s 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 fi nancing solutionsAlthough fi nancing higher education in Uganda and elsewhere for that ma� er 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 fi nancial status of higher education institutions. The NCHE secretariat has already addressed the issue of fi nancing 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. A� er 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 benefi ts. 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 benefi ciaries. 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 Commi� ee whose mandate would be to source and allocate funds to education institutions as in the UK, India and Pakistan where such commi� ees have proved eff ective in fund-raising and resource mobilisation.

vi. Government should continue and increase funding for key priority programmes, especially in science and technology, whether off ered 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� a� itudes 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 bo� lenecks in Africa can partly be a� ributed 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

certifi cate and diploma holders are less likely to go abroad for greener pastures than university graduates.

Shi� ing 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 fi rst class postgraduate students to service the upper layers of the market as well as in the academic and public services. Government should provide fi nancial assistance to private universities to off er programmes vital to national development and should exempt them from taxes such as VAT. These a� ract many foreign students and therefore are a source of capital infl ow.

9.5 The necessity of carrying out an annual unit cost studyOf late, the unit cost of higher education has been contested. The media seems to quote diff erent fi gures and both the Ministry of Education and Finance have not published offi cial 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 infl ow, 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 defi ned 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 a� end to with urgency.

iii. The expenditure pa� erns 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 off er disciplines critical to national development such as science and technology based programmes. They cherry pick cheap to off er 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 fulfi l the missions and visions of all stakeholders. Universities are well governed if they fulfi l 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 be� ering 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 freedomFor 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 defi ned in last year’s 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 off ering 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, 2001Council 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 offi cials assume offi ce. The law dictates that offi cials are elected to various offi ces 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 offi cials 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 undefi ned or confl icting roles of top offi cers between the Academic Registrar and the Deputy Vice Chancellor, Academic Aff airs 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 2006The 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 ma� ers.• There were also strikes in Kyambogo University over management ma� ers.• There was a strike by students at Uganda Christian University over the issue of

accommodation.• An unse� led situation of confl ict still exists between Makerere University and its affi liate,

Makerere University Business School.

A few of these disruptions were caused by mismanagement and others were caused by misunderstandings. Ugandan higher education managers are li� ed from lecture rooms to administrative offi ces without training them in management. Such offi cers 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 fi ve year existance


11.0 The National Council for Higher Education: Five years of existence, 2002- 2007

11.1 Introduction

Five years ago, the fi rst 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 fi ve years, Council has not only become a well-defi ned institution, it is eff ectively fulfi lling 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. Se� ing up of the Secretariat of council, Jan 2003In January 2003, the Secretariat of the Council was set up at 34 Cavers Crescent, Kyambogo. Within that period, Council has developed fi rm 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 staff ed.

11.2.2 Sub-Commi� ees of CouncilThe following commi� ees have been set up under Section 20(1), of the Act to help in the effi cient management of the business of Council.

11.2.12. Le� er of Registration and Classifi cationA Le� er of Registration and Classifi cation was granted to Makerere Business Institute in 2006.

11.2.13. Equating of qualifi cationsCouncil is mandated by Section 5(k) to equate qualifi cations. 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 qualifi cations for people intending to run for various political offi ces. Although the staff are few and had li� le experience of equating this type of qualifi cations and were working under the pressure of a very limited time, the success rate exceeded 95%. Council continued to equate ordinary qualifi cations.

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 Uganda’s institutions of higher learning. The survey was done with the fi nancial 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 fi rst State of Higher Education report in 2004. The publication of such a report has now been made an annual activity.

11.2.15. Monitoring ExerciseThe 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 VisitsThe 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 disseminationUnder 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 Gaze� evi. Minimum Requirements for Courses of Study in Universities,vii. Graduate Tracer and Employers` Expectations Studies.

11.2.18. ICT/Web use and developmentFrom 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 offi ce is wired to a LAN and each offi ce has a computer set.

11.2.19. Documentation CentreSince 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. Offi ce space Council has acquired three acres of land on Kyambogo hill for construction of Council offi ces. 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 offi ce use.

11.2.21. Capacity building and public awareness eff ortsThe Council held various seminars and workshops for its members, staff and other stakeholders in areas of Quality Assurance, Credit Accumulation and Transfers, fi nancing higher education institutions and general management of higher education institutions. Staff and Council members a� ended capacity building retreats at various places including Kalangala, Ankrah Foundation etc. A number of talk shows for the purpose of publicity have been done. Eff orts 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 educationThe Council participated in the Education Sector Review in November 2003 at which Uganda’s strategic plan for higher education was discussed and approved. Prior to that, the Executive Director had been involved in the dra� ing of the plan. Council has now completed its own Strategic Plan for the next fi ve years.

11.2.23. Study tours and visitsIn 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 fi nanced 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 Foundationii. 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 defi ned and fi nanciers 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 a� ract funds from the Rockefeller Foundation of New York, Ford Foundation and The Netherlands Government. Funds from these sources have supplemented our eff orts.

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 construction of home for the Council• Inadequacies in the Act. A number of Sections in the Act need amendments for harmonization

purposes.• Inadequate funding• Inadequate staffi ng levels• Shortage of offi ce space• Capacity development of members of Council and staff on the concept of higher education

issues• Designing a tertiary credit system acceptable to all stakeholders• Accrediting of programmes and individual courses• Approval of admission to meet national manpower requirements.• Mapping/surveying of institutions of higher learning• Inability to licence and tame online/distance education• Regulation of access programmes among private institutions

The university age according to the census statistics was defi ned 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 Population2002 19-24 Years 2,747,4202003 19-24 Years 2,829,8422004 19-24 Years 2,914,7382005 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 offi cial 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% 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 offi cial school age for that level, as a percentage of the population of offi cial school age for that level.

* Most institutions did not fi ll this area of ages in the questionnaire and this makes it impossible to determine enrolment size for the offi cial 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% 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% 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 100,000137,190 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 fi gures according to the census statistics.
