Cue out: "…they come from."//
Professor Katunguka says the University has already revised the grading system for all diploma courses to match international standards as required by the National Council for Higher Education (NCHE).
Professor Katunguka explained that the University will also set up a panel of tutors lecturing in the various national teachers colleges to set and administer teachers' examinations. He says to enhance management of student records, a robust Information, Communication and Technology system has been set up for e-registration and payment of functional fees.
The vice chancellor was speaking at Unyama National Teachers College during the institution's 5th graduation ceremony on Friday. He said students who graduate in typewriting can no longer find employment in secondary schools after the programme was phased off the national teachers' education curriculum.
Among the new courses the University seeks to introduce is a degree programme in Early Childhood and Development (ECD) education. He said there is exponential increase in demands for higher education in the country.
Among the programmes dropped by the University is typewriting which was phased off the curriculum.
Dr John Chrysostom Muyingo, the State Minister for Higher Education, said government introduced the Skilling Uganda Programmes to unlock the potential of productivity in response to unemployment challenges which have left many graduates on the streets due to lack of skills.
