Career Assistance Programme 2020 CAREER ASSISTANCE PROGRAMME Improving Access to Higher Education Centre for Skills and Innovation Introduction Career Assistance Programme (CAP) provides inclusive, participatory career guidance & assistance for young people in Uganda to access higher education. CAP works in both in schools & in the communities. It was started in 2014 at Lira Town College. It targets mainly primary, secondary school students and young adults. CAP is a programme of Centre for Skills and Innovation (CSI), a non-profit initiative based in Lira, northern Uganda. Project Objectives • To provide high school leavers with vital information to join higher education. • To encourage students to pursue STEM careers and pathways. • To assist students with university application process. SDG Goals The programme fosters attainment of SDG goals 4 and 5. Education is a human right & driver for development. Also, helping girls attain education improves their lives and the future of their families. How it Started My interest at the time (2014) was to help my students gain access to top universities in the country. I had seen my students aim only for small institutions and they thought Makerere University, Kyambogo University and others were only for the rich. Later, I realised that the issues surrounding career guidance and university application process was a problem in the entire region. For 6 years now, the CAP has helped thousands of students and adults gain university admission & continue their education Emmanuel Angoda Teacher, Lira Town College (2012-2019) centreforskills.org 1 Our 2020 Plan & Partners This year, we are expanding the programme to four schools, 3 in Lango sub region and 1 school in Bunyoro sub region. We target to reach and impact 600 students, from the districts of Lira, Dokolo, Oyam, Kole, Kiryandongo, Alebtong and Otuke.

  • The Kyambogo Years (1990 – 1993)
    6 The Kyambogo Years (1990 – 1993) My Years as Principal of the Institute of Teacher Education – The Unplanned Training for the Big Shoes Soon after the departure of Professor Kajubi, the first Principal, ITEK plunged into a serious crisis, the cause of which seemed to have been staff agitation for a living wage and the subsequent death of one of them under mysterious circumstances. As a result of those incidents, the institute had been receiving bad press for a good part of 1990. Apparently, some disgruntled staff had taken a leaf out of MUASA’s book and had formed an academic staff association they decided to call Institute of Teacher Education Academic Staff Association (ITEASA), which was quite a militant group. When Professor Kajubi left for Makerere after serving for two years as Principal, his deputy, Dr John Bigala remained acting in his stead. Hell broke loose when the acting Principal received a request from the National Police Commissar to nominate some members of staff of ITEK to participate in a political education course, popularly known as the cadre course, at Kyankwanzi in Kiboga District. At the time, it was routine for Government to direct civil servants to go for the cadre course at Kyankwanzi or at some other location. Regardless of rank, all Government officials had to attend the cadre course. The courses were numbered and the course number appeared on one’s certificate of attendance. In what I think was a rushed judgement, the ITEK Administration decided to select some of the more militant members of ITEASA for the course, perhaps in the hope that, after attending the cadre course, they would tone down their militancy.

  • Higher Education Solutions Network (HESN) 2.0 Programs Bi-Annual Performance Report Narrative
    Higher Education Solutions Network (HESN) 2.0 Programs Bi-Annual Performance Report Narrative 1. BACKGROUND LASER PULSE is a five-year USAID-funded consortium, led by Purdue University and also comprising Catholic Relief Services, Indiana University, Makerere University, and the University of Notre Dame. LASER PULSE supports the research-to-translation value chain through a global network of 1,000+ researchers, government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector for research-driven, practical solutions to critical development challenges in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). LASER supports the discovery and uptake of research-sourced, evidence-based solutions to development challenges spanning all USAID technical sectors and global geographic regions. The LASER PULSE strategy ensures that applied research is co-designed with development practitioners, and results in solutions that are useful and usable. LASER does this by involving development practitioners upfront - from topic selection, research question definition, conducting and testing research, and developing translation products for immediate use. We support this process with capacity building and technical assistance to enable the researcher/user partnerships to function effectively. 2. MAJOR MILESTONES / ACHIEVEMENTS 1. Researcher Capacity:​ Makerere University had an opportunity to engage with ​USAID Uganda’s Regional Development Initiative​.​ ​The team accompanied the Uganda Regional Development Initiative team on several visits, to provide feedback on working with local universities in order to enhance their role in the path to self-reliance. This is a model that can be replicated in other countries and regions. The collaboration (Makerere and RDI) has resulted in a new buy-in opportunity for Makerere to work with regional universities in strengthening resilience for indigenous Ugandan groups).
