Diploma in Education – Primary
Diploma in Primary Education (DEP) is a program offered to grade III and in-service teachers who like to upgrade and to enhance primary education skills. Given that the ministry of education is vehemently promoting high caliber teachers (every teacher to have a degree by 2031), the Faculty of Education pools efforts in ensuring that more teachers are trained and equipped with skills to propel learners into creative and active learning for sustainable development of Uganda as a whole.
