  • Indicators of Neo-Colonialism at the O-Level Curriculum Education in Uganda
    International Journal of Innovative Education Research 5(3):1-17, July-Sept., 2017 © SEAHI PUBLICATIONS, 2017 www.seahipaj.org ISSN: 2354-2942 Indicators of Neo-Colonialism at the O-Level Curriculum Education in Uganda 1,2*MULEKE PAUL, BETTY EZATI1, MOURICE TAMALE1 1College of Education and External Studies, School of Education, Makerere University, Kampala Uganda 2School of Education, Arts Education, University of Kisubi Entebbe, Uganda *E-mail Address of Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT The study established the indicators of Neo-colonialism at the O-level curriculum Education in Uganda. A descriptive survey research design was used in the study. A total sample population of 316 participated in the study which included 8 officials from National Curriculum Development Centre (NCDC), 4 District education officers from Gulu, Mbarara, Jinja and Kampala Capital City Authority, 8 policymakers and administrators from the Ministry of Education and Sports who were purposively selected respectively and 296 secondary teachers who were selected using simple random sampling technique. Data was collected using a self administered questionnaire, interview guide, documentary analysis guide, and observation checklist. The study findings showed that indicators of Neo-colonialism had an influence on educational curriculum at O-level Education in Uganda. It was therefore concluded that educational curriculum at O-level Education in Uganda does not fully suit the needs of the local people because it is indirectly influenced by Neo-colonialism which makes the indigenous people benefit less compared to the developed countries. It was recommended that, teacher‟s preparation should emphasize skills development rather than the knowledge acquisition to avoid dependency syndrome.

  • HESA Phase II Year 1
    Higher Education for Sisters in Africa (HESA) Phase II, Year 1 Evaluation Report Reporting Period: July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017 Phase II, Year 1 of the Higher Education for Sisters in Africa (HESA) project concluded on June 30, 2017. HESA is a project of the African Sisters Education Collaborative (ASEC), a registered 501(C)(3) organization based in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The purpose of HESA is to provide opportunities for Catholic sisters in ten African countries to access higher education through two models of study- online distance learning, and onsite learning at African colleges/universities. HESA furthers ASEC’s mission by empowering African women religious, through education, to enhance and expand the educational, health, economic, social, environmental, and spiritual services they provide. The program supports Catholic sisters in ten countries in Sub-Saharan Africa – Cameroon, Ghana, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Nigeria, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia – to complete educational programs in professional fields of study identified as relevant and needed in the context of the women religious’ ministries and the needs of their communities. By forming partnerships with colleges and universities in the USA and in the identified African countries, through HESA, ASEC provides Catholic women religious access to quality, affordable higher education, as well as a support network of sister-students and ASEC program alumnae. HESA is designed to meet the unique needs of Catholic women religious in Africa, opening new pathways to higher education. These include options for programs of study delivered partially online, and providing peer, academic, technological, financial and professional support to ensure their success in obtaining a degree.
