§ 86. Lady Noel-Buxtonasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware that Africans in Uganda are establishing voluntary funds to build vernacular schools; and what assistance is being given for this purpose from the Colonial Development and Welfare Fund.
Mr. Creech JonesI have no information about these funds. The Uganda Educational Plan is under revision and I cannot at present say what assistance will be required for vernacular education. But I have no doubt that in making any application for further assistance for educational purposes the Governor will consider the claims of vernacular education.
