Minister Janet used this function to inform the public that the new lower secondary school curriculum is participatory tailored to bring about competence based education that will produce more skilled products.
” The curriculum has been well planned with emphasis on skills development and teaching of Swahili as a language so you need to give it the support it deserves,” Janet’s speech read in part.
She also noted that the government policy is to shift from academic centered teaching to skills development and innovations and therefore institutions which have curved out a niche in skills development will be supported.
” The Government of Uganda is committed to provide quality education and therefore appreciates private institutions which have come out to support skilling Uganda to produce amiable and productive citizens,” She noted.
She hailed Karoli Lwanga School of Nursing and Midwifery Nyakibale for producing yet another skilled labor force in the health sector adding that such practitioners are still low yet there is a lot to be done.
She also hailled the Nursing and Midwifery institutions in Uganda for their resilience approach in connectivity and networking which has enabled them to produce quality medical personnel a move that has translated into practicable achievements.
Earlier , the function was preceded by High Mass led by the Bishop of Kabale Diocese Rt Rev Callist Rubaramira who urged the graduands to live up to their training expectations by providing quality health care.
“Patients are delicate, therefore it’s the quality of care you give them that will show your capability and this will create trust from the population you serve,” Bishop Rubaramira advised.
