Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Vice President Jesca Alupo has said the government\u2019s plan of skilling learners at different education levels is aimed at fighting unemployment in the country.<\/p>\n

According to Ms Alupo, the government\u2019s effort to mainstream skills development under the Ministry of Education and Sports is to facilitate the achievement of the strategic development goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the key reforms include pursuing a deliberate policy of promoting science, technology and mathematics, implementation of the revised lower secondary school curriculum, which is competence-based, and implementation of the digital agenda, among others,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

This was contained in her speech read by the State Minister for Higher Education Dr John Chrysestom Muyingo at the golden jubilee celebrations for Ndejje Secondary School in Luweero District at the weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact that Ndejje SS is offering vocational skills such as computing, talent development on top of the regular academic studies in line with the government\u2019s effort in skilling the youth, re-echoes the many other strategies aimed at equipping our children with employable skills,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cA newly formulated project is in its advanced stage with a component to revamp our traditional schools. Ndejje SS has been identified as one of the first beneficiaries of this very important project,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

The Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Education, Ms Ketty Lamaro, re-echoed the government strategy of continuous professional development of teachers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are also aware that the country cannot move without fostering spiritual growth among our learners. We should pay more attention to spiritual aspects to help the youth preserve our values and cultures in an environment that is now very permissive. The fact that Ndejje SS has a vibrant chaplaincy is very encouraging,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Retired Bishop of Namirembe Diocese Samuel Balagadde Ssekadde advised parents and teachers to jealously guard against foreign cultures that demean the true purpose of Gods\u2019 love for mankind. Ndejje Secondary School, according to the head teacher, Canon Dr Charles Kahigiriza, started out of the need to extend secondary education to learners from Bulemeezi and Buruli counties in Greater Luweero in 1963.<\/p>\n

The school was later taken over by the government in 1965 through the intervention of then Minister for Education Luyimbazi Zaake.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to be celebrating not only the academic achievements but the infrastructure growth, community outreach projects, talent development and the many other contributions the school has made in grooming responsible citizens of Uganda,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
