To maintain a record of applicants selected to join undergraduate degrees TCU has prepared this publication which contains statistics of all students who joined HLIs from 2012/13 to 2017/18 academic year. It should be noted that from 2010/2011 to 2016/17 Admission Cycles admission into Bachelors’ degrees was done through Central Admission System (CAS) except for 2017/18 where the University Information Management System (UIMS) was used to receive and process admission data also provide feedback to HLIs. Hence the data used to prepare this publication was obtained from the two databases. Prof. Charles D.

  • Gender Center and Gender Mainstreaming
    Gender Center and Gender Mainstreaming Educational level: University | Beneficiaries: Students, faculty, and staff Background Assessments of universities such as Jimma University1 and the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM)2 that found sexual harassment and violence and high attrition of female students played a role in developing gender centers.1 At the University of Western Cape, campus activism on issues including gender imbalances in salary and career development, sexual harassment, and maternity leave and child care contributed to the creation of a gender center.3 In other institutions, national and institutional commitment was key. For example, one of the objectives of the Presidential Working Party to establish Moi University was to develop a gender center, and the university’s 2005-2014 strategic plan committed to incorporating gender issues in policy decision-making processes.4 Makerere University also enjoyed a supportive national legislative environment in Uganda.5 Description Many institutions, including Jimma University, Moi University, UDSM, and Makerere University, note the role of the gender centers in promoting gender mainstreaming. The gender centers, offices, and committees at the institutions included in this review shared some common functions, including gender equality-related policy development, provision of training, skills-building, mentoring, counseling services, networking, information sharing, and research. Some institutions also provide scholarships to female students (Jimma University,6 Makerere University,5 University of Toronto7); facilitate housing for female faculty (Jimma University,6 University of Western Cape3); develop curricula on gender-related issues (the University of Ghana8); and develop proposals for “gender sensitive infrastructure within the University”9 (Sokoine University of Agriculture). The University of Toronto has multiple offices that work on diversity and equity issues.
