Extract

Makerere University College is the oldest institution of higher education in East Africa. Situated in Kampala, Uganda, it lies not far from the northern shore of Lake Victoria, and draws its student population from those countries around the lake shores—Kenya and Tanzania, as well as Uganda itself. Eighty-five per cent of the enrolled students are of African origin, the remainder being Asians.
