Uganda
Index
Formal education had four levels. The first level
consisted
of seven primary-school grades (standards one through
seven),
usually beginning about age six. Based on test scores in
seventh
grade, pupils could enter one of several types of
institutions--a
four-year secondary school ("O-level"), a three-year
technical
training institution, or a four-year teacher training
college.
About 40 percent of those who passed "O-level"
examinations
continued their education through one of several
options--an
advanced two-year secondary course ("A-level"), an
advanced twoyear teacher training course, a technical institute, or a
specialized training program provided by the government.
Those
who completed "A-level" examinations might study at
Makerere
University in Kampala or they might study abroad. Other
options
for "A-level" graduates were the Uganda Technical College,
the
Institute of Teachers' Education (formerly the National
Teachers'
College), or National College of Business Studies.
