A national school, controlled by the central government (as opposed to the Provincial Council), it provides primary and secondary education.

Uva College was the first school established in Uva province in 1867 by the Diocesan mission of Ceylon. It is situated in the heart of Badulla town. From the inception the college had two halls and two dormitories with a science laboratory. Adjoining the office was the principal's quarters. The first principal was Mr. William. At first there were only twelve students and of these eight were Tamils. Seven students entered university. There were also several girls attending Advanced Level classes.
The medium taught at that time was English and one subject was taught either in Sinhala or Tamil. Then the college came under the tutelage of Christian fathers.[2]
