“The intermediate one was the first time I studied with men and of course the men who were discouraging us. All the time they would say that you are a girl and you can’t make it. They would just be surprised to see that you’ve made it”

“They went into education for two years and came out with a diploma in education and that too was quite high for anybody at that time”

“Being admitted for the intermediate exam meant that I had passed with a good credit in English”

“I entered Makerere in 1953 and I graduated in 1958. I first graduated in 1957 with a Bachelor of Arts but then I did one other year of postgraduate diploma in education”

“Although there are a number of things today that don’t look like the Makerere I was in. The Makerere that I entered was extremely beautiful. We had beautiful lawns and there were very few but beautiful buildings”
