There are three major linguistic families in Uganda and about 50
distinct languages divided among them. Languages also tend to
define the boundaries of cultural differences. In the late 1980s,
Ugandan officials estimated that 66 percent of the population
consisted of Christians (almost equally divided among Protestants
and Roman Catholics), approximately 15 percent were Muslim, and
roughly 19 percent were adherents of local religions or not
affiliated with any religion. World and local religions have
coexisted for more than a century in Uganda, and many people have
established a coherent set of beliefs about the nature of the
universe by combining elements of the two. Except in a few areas,
world religions are seldom viewed as incompatible with local
religions. Education is highly valued in much of Uganda. As a
result of the government's commitment to universal primary
education, primary enrollment jumped from 2.7 million children in
1996 to 6.5 million in 1999. These numbers continue to grow, with
nearly 7.4 million students enrolled in 2004
