Education
The British educational system has been influential in Uganda, and missionary schools have played an important role in educating the people. In the late 1980s about 2.6 million pupils attended some 7900 primary schools in Uganda, and some 240,000 students were enrolled in more than 900 secondary, technical, and teacher-training schools. Uganda's leading institutions of higher education are Makerere University (1922) and Uganda Technical College (1954), both located in Kampala.
Libraries and Museums
Uganda's chief libraries are the National Reference Library and the National Library of Medicine, both housed at Makerere University. The Uganda Museum, located in Kampala, displays materials on archaeology, ethnology, music, and science. A geological and a zoological museum are both in Entebbe.
