China and Uganda have carried out various kinds of
cultural exchanges and cooperation since the
establishment of diplomatic relations. The two countries
signed a Cultural Cooperation Agreement in June 1985.
The Implementation Program of the Cultural Cooperation
Agreement between China and Uganda for 2000-2002 was
signed in August 1999. China has altogether trained 205
Ugandan students since 1959. By the end of 2000, there
were 32 Ugandan students studying in China. Since 1983,
China has sent nine medical teams to Uganda
successively. There are 8 Chinese doctors currently
working in Uganda.
The Uganda Student's Association in
China (USAC) was formed on the 3rd of April,
as a body of Uganda citizens of at least post-secondary
level students taking studies in the Peoples Republic of
China. It was inspired and established with the overall
aim of promoting unity and co-ordination of all the
Ugandan students in China. It's also responsible for the
correction of imperfection as regards to student's
welfare.

Students

Since
its formation, the USAC has always kept the Ugandan
Mission in Beijing, and indeed the Ministry of
Education, alert on the problems, be they political,
economic, social, or otherwise, the Ugandan students
have faced at one time or the other during the course of
study in China.
