In pursuit of the goals set in the Makerere University [6] Strategic Plan 2008/2009-2018/2019, the University initiated actions aimed at transforming itself into a research-led institution. The formation of Colleges was one of the major reforms in the governance, financial and administrative structures of the University.
In January 2005, the University Council approved the College Statute as a guide to units in the formation of Colleges. In a further step to actualize this vision, the Makerere University [6] Senate approved the formation of the College of Education and External Studies at its meeting held on 4 November 2010. The School of Education [7]and Institute of Adult and Continuing Education were merged to form the College of Education and External Studies.
