  • Government Undergraduate Admissions 2020/2021
    GOVERNMENT UNDERGRADUATE ADMISSIONS 2020/2021 STATISTICAL ABSTRACT centreforskills.org PREFACE For a long time, many educationists and commentators have suggested that the current government of Uganda scholarship scheme is flawed and needs to be discarded. In its current form, the government of Uganda undergraduate scholarship scheme rewards top performers, who mostly are from expensive schools in Kampala. Many people argue that instead of rewarding children of the rich, government should design a new scheme that promotes educational equity, gender balance, and fairness. It does not make sense to give a scholarship to someone who was paying UGX 1,500,000 per term (i.e. 1,500,000 x 3) for an undergraduate programme that costs UGX 1,000,000 per semester (i.e. 1,000,000 x 2). The government of Uganda scholarship scheme is structured into 3 categories, each having a different criteria for selecting beneficiaries. Firstly, Government Scholarship under Direct Admissions scheme or National Merit. This admits the best (about 3000) students across the country for programmes they selected in public universities. This is done through the PUJAB forms. This is strictly under merit. Secondly, Government Scholarship – District Quota scheme. This admits top performing students from each district. Also done through PUJAB forms. This takes about 800. Thirdly, Sports & Special needs – this caters for those who would ordinarily not fall under the above two criteria. It supports outstanding sportsmen & women, and also people with disabilities. This supports about 200 students. Most agree that the current system rewards the children of the rich, who go to expensive schools, get high marks and study free.
