The ministry of communications said that it was “hopeful that by increasing IT education for Ugandan students, we will be able to improve those interested in becoming leaders in the sector.”
On Saturday, the British Council’s representative Daudi Mulongo said that, “The British Council is willing and ready to support the secondary schools in Uganda with equipment in order to enhance the Information, Computer and Technology era to students who cannot afford to buy computers and get to Internet.”
Uganda has seen solid growth in the Broadband sector in recent years, but hopes that through new initiatives it can increase awareness for the younger generation to help continue to build on the successes.
Godfrey Kibuuka, a director at the ICT ministry said that the “government is ready to help most schools that do not have computers in their schools so that it helps students, now that computer has been included as a subject in the curriculum.”
Kibuuka urged teachers to learn how to use computers and even to have them as their tools of operations “since the system of operations have changed as we are in the computer age.
“It’s so bad to note that some of you teachers have not taken this seriously and you resort to doing things mechanically. You will find it difficult to cope up with the world,” Kibuuka urged teachers and students.
