{{Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni has launched a new education programme –‘Skilling Uganda\u2019 meant to introduce short courses for school leavers at Primary Seven, Senior Four and Six, school dropouts and graduates.}}<\/p>\n
The Programme gives learners an opportunity to go through a parallel education programme to that of formal education, meaning learners under \u2018Skilling Uganda\u2019 can also be awarded certificates, diplomas, or bachelors\u2019 and masters\u2019 degrees.<\/p>\n
One can become a mechanic, agriculturalist, florist, fashion designer, machinist, architect, chef, veterinerian, soil scientist or a technician without necessarily going through the formal education system.<\/p>\n
Learners will be assessed on what they can do, other than what they can recall as it is for most examinations under formal education.<\/p>\n
These courses will lead to the award of certificates recognised by the Uganda Government and other countries.<\/p>\n
The move is aimed at making sure that most Ugandans attain skills meant for the country\u2019s development<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
