Program Rationale
Uganda’s Vision 2040 aims at transforming the country from a poor economy to a middle-income status through diverse approaches/mechanism. Education is one of the key mechanisms to support this process. As the country move to the attainment of the vision 2040, several reports have pointed to the acute shortage of professional teachers in most government primary and secondary schools across the country. This calls for massive training of more teachers in specialized fields such as sciences and professional studies like psychologists, sociologist to bridge the gap. Trained teachers are crucial in managing human behaviours, emotions, and cognitions in school/community. A program such as Bachelor of Education that trains educators with multidisciplinary spectrum of skills, talents and knowledge is therefore significantly required in the attainment of the national long-term vision.
