1942 Amount Rate per head. £ Shillings Kenya … … 86,600 .50 Uganda … … 124,000 .66 1943 Kenya … … 88,660 .51 Uganda … … 125,000 .07 These figures include a proportion of the general administrative expenses of the Education Departments, but do not include the substantial contributions towards the cost of education which are 2311W made by the native administrations and Local Native Authorities, precise figures of which are nod available. In addition considerable sums are expended from private sources, particularly those of the Missionary Societies.
