Joseph Almeida (educator) dating history

Details

Joseph Almeida (1925–2017), also known as Jos Almeida in some of his social circles, was a Ugandan educator of Goan descent, best known for his leadership of Buganda Road Primary School in Kampala, Uganda, where he served as headmaster for 22 years (1972–1994). His tenure coincided with a period of upheaval, including the 1972 expulsion of Asians from Uganda, during which many of his colleagues were forced to leave the country. Almeida remained in the country, following the expulsion, and helped guide the school through the national transitions. He was widely described in the Ugandan press as an influential figure in the country’s primary education system.
