Abstract
The first schools in Uganda were built by the missionaries. No child was
allowed to attend a school if it belonged to a denomination different from
the ones its parents subscribe to. Muslim children were not able to
receive education since both catholic and protestant founded schools
mostly refused to accept them and no funding was available from outside
to establish Muslim school.
The colonial government did not participate in the establishment of
formal education until 1925 when they start giving grants and facilitating
the already established schools.
The system of education in Uganda has a structure of 7yaers of primary
education, 6 years of secondary and 3-5years post secondary education.
Secondary education was prioritized in the 1960s, with the aim of
turning out the highly educated people necessary to govern and develop
the country.
