	International Higher Education--25/6
		Makerere University, however, will need to assert its independence under the new Universities and Tertiary Education Act and adopt a corporate management approach to maintain the momentum of reform.
		Students at Makerere University insisted on free tuition, free food, and free accommodation—and even pocket money popularly known as "boom." Every time student benefits were tampered with, they would put on their academic gowns and march to the State House or to Parliament to exact their demands.
		The new Makerere University Strategic Plan for 2000/01–2004/05 has identified funding and the need to maintain academic standards as the most critical issues facing the university and has therefore recommended that a special study on the university's funding situation be carried out as a matter of urgency within the first year of the plan period.
