QUESTIONNAIRE FOR CASE STUDY ON EDUCATION SERVICES UGANDA
As part of an effort to address the challenges of Intra-African trade, and the need to come up
with strategies to improve the situation, the African Union Summit of Heads of Government in
January 2012 adopted an Action Plan for Boosting Intra-African Trade and a Framework for the
fast tracking of a continental free trade agreement (CFTA). Services are considered by the
African Union Commission (AUC) and the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), as a major
area of growth potential for the future. As such, enhancing trade in services is an important,
emerging opportunity. As part of the need to raise the profile of the services sector, the AUC
with the support of key donors: USAID, UNDP, GIZ and the EU is undertaking a series of case
studies on the service sectors for selected African countries.
This Questionnaire administered on behalf of the African Union Commission’s Department of
Trade and Industry with support from USAID will assist to collect information on the education
sector in Uganda, by examining the operation of universities and other educational
establishments, together with the policies that affect their performance. The goal of the
questionnaire is also to identify the way in which universities and educational establishments
are offering programs and reaching out to foreign students either at home or abroad, thus
contributing to the export of educational services by Uganda. This case study will include
recommendations for policy improvements and interventions to address the challenges of
universities and educational institutions as they seek to enhance their exports of education
services.
The African Union Commission is grateful for the time and effort that you will allocate to
respond to these questions, and thanks you in advance for your assistance and cooperation with
the consultants engaged to conduct this exercise.
Kindly return the completed questionnaire to the experts engaged to carry out this case study
below. If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact them for clarification.
