asked 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.

I 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.
