There are very few real universities in Uganda- says Prof Nawangwe

Makerere University’s Vice Chancellor, Professor Barnabas Nawangwe, has underscored a significant shortage of universities and higher education institutions in Uganda.
With a population of nearly 50 million people, Nawangwe emphasized that the country is inadequately served in terms of tertiary education.
He pointed out that there are roughly 20 legitimate universities in Uganda, collectively enrolling around 100,000 students.
Nawangwe argued for the establishment of more universities in Uganda to accommodate the rapidly growing population.
Comparing Uganda to the United Kingdom, where there are over 300 universities serving a slightly higher population, Nawangwe emphasized the need for the government to prioritize tertiary education.
