Özet

© 2022 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.This article explores photographic education in Uganda. It presents exploratory observations in the study of photography at Ugandan Universities. Specifically, it examines the nature of students admitted to study Photography and students’ practice of photography. It also explores the use of student-centered learning techniques; and highlights the drawbacks, Government policy and photographic funding in Uganda. We deduce that for photographic education to thrive in Uganda, there is need for government to establish specific policies that encourage and reward photography; and the need for academic institutions to engage in photography research, and introduction of photography programs at degree, master and doctorate levels.
