Project:

The education sector in Uganda has experienced a great transformation over the past 15 years. In 1997 the government of Uganda launched the Universal Primary Education strategy. By consequence enrolment in primary education soared. Because of its success (at least in numbers), an equal investment strategy became necessary for secondary education to provide further schooling for the rising number of pupils who finished primary education. The Universal Post-Primary Education & Training (UPPET) strategy was then put into action in 2007, leading to an instant increase in enrolment figures in secondary education as well. Recognizing the importance of ensuring the quality and relevance of the education that the children receive, providing teachers capable of delivering education of high quality is considered by the Ministry of Education and Sports (MoES) as the single most important input in ensuring the successful delivery of the UPPET program. Therefore, upon initiative of the Government of Uganda, the Embassy of Belgium in Uganda agreed to support interventions geared towards the improvement of teacher training provided by the National Teachers Colleges (NTCs), as well as other Colleges responsible for training tutors and lecturers for Business, Technical and Vocational Education & Training (BTVET), including the training of Health Tutors.

Objectives:

The Specific objective of the intervention is to provide an improved teaching and practice-oriented learning environment, supported by strengthened support supervision and visitation (inspections) services, for the most part on four selected colleges. To reach this objective, the project has defined a strategy that addresses four areas: • Strengthening the teacher education system in relation to the colleges in the areas of communication, support supervision and visitation, strategic management and lecturers qualifications; • Strengthening the management capacity of the supported colleges; • Improving the quality of teaching and learning in the supported colleges; • Rehabilitating, extending and equipping the colleges facilities

These objectives will be achieved through capacity building at system (central) level, organizational (colleges) and individual (managers and teachers) levels.

Because of the dynamic nature of current developments in the field of BTVET, and some lingering uncertainties regarding the precise direction the national programs will take over the coming years, the intervention will also assist two colleges active in the field of BTVET (Mulago HTC and Abilonino CPIC) in undertaking a throughout study of the current practices and needs in the field of health tutors’ and technical instructors’ training in Uganda. Based on the results of this study, a new up-to-date college institutional development plan will be prepared, in which all the key points raised above, and other organizational issues affecting the colleges will be analyzed and addressed.

The project will be executed in co-management.
