President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni and Lady Janet Kataaha Museveni, on Saturday met a delegation of academia from Makerere University Business School (MUBS).
While commenting about the day’s activity, Preisdent Museveni, wrote on social media thus; “Together with the Minister of Education and sports, Hon. Janet Kataaha Museveni, I met with a delegation of Makerere University Business School (MUBS) administration and members of the Academic Staff Association.
Academic disciplines taught at universities should be tailored to the needs of society and the job market, address and promote the concept of wealth creation.
MUBS administration should assess the job market to gauge employment opportunities for the students who graduate from the institute.
The training should as well focus on job creation/entrepreneurship
Government policy as far as education is concerned, is a science led education. I encourage you to promote Information Communication Technology (ICT) and other science based courses.
Science is at the centre of transformation of society, therefore as educationists, you must emphasise science thus contribute to social transformation.
Regarding renumeration, government will address improving of academic staff first and non academic staff in due course. Government is committed to improving remuneration of all staff, but in a phased manner.
