§ Mr. Lennox-BoydThe Government of Tanganyika has recently established a Higher Education Trust Fund for the purpose of setting up a university college in the territory when this is justified by the number of students completing secondary education. Such a college would be planned so as to be complementary to other centres of higher education in East Africa. It is expected that, even when it is established, Tanganyika students will continue to go to the University College of East Africa at Makerere and the Royal Technical College of East Africa in Nairobi in cases where their facilities are suited to the course of study they wish to pursue. Students from other East African territories will, in similar circumstances, be welcome in Tanganyika.
