Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Minister of Education and Sports, Ms Janet Museveni has appealed to Uganda\u2019s missions abroad to promote the country\u2019s education system and opportunities to attract more investments in the sector.<\/p>\n

According to the minister, there are several investment opportunities in the sector at all levels of the education system given that it\u2019s the cheapest in the region and yet with best regional quality.<\/p>\n

\u201cUganda embraced Universal Primary Education in 1997 and since then the primary school children have had opportunity to study free of charge. This policy initially placed a burden on the existing facilities but over the years government has improved this situation greatly. Today most schools have fair infrastructure but many are also still needy. The country\u2019s population is growing and more children are yet to enrol,\u201d Ms Museveni said in her speech at the 59th Independence Day Celebrations jointly organized by Uganda Missions in Kenya.<\/p>\n

Despite the free government schooling, there are still many private primary schools in the country and there is demand for more places, according to the minister.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany parents still prefer to take their children to private schools for several reasons, including the belief in better quality, better infrastructure, more motivated teachers, better pupil-teacher ratio, and so on. Investment opportunities are therefore, still available in this sub-sector,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

There has been notable growth in the number of universities from one university in 1988 to 51 in 2021; 40 of these are private, while 11 are public.<\/p>\n

\u201cEnrolments have increased year by year and available evidence clearly shows that there is a capacity gap that needs to be addressed. Again, investment opportunities are available, not only for increased access but also for improved quality, efficiency and effectiveness in the system,\u201d Ms Museveni added.<\/p>\n

She further said the ICT requires huge investment describing it as a virgin area for investment opportunities for entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a conducive climate for study throughout the year, and a fairly stable political environment that strongly supports the education system,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Mr Hassan Wsswa Galiwango, Uganda\u2019s high commissioner to Kenya and Seychelles said during the Independence Week, they had the opportunity to showcase the enormous tourism and education opportunities in Uganda.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis initiative is tandem with the National Theme: \u201cCelebrating our 59th Independence Day as we secure our future through national mind-set change,\u201dhe said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
