Finance Minister Henry Musasizi urged schools to emphasize science courses during a recent event at Nyabikoni Secondary School in Kabale Municipality. He asked teachers to guide students toward job-ready programs that match government priorities in science education. The minister explained that science knowledge helps Uganda compete globally, which drives the government to invest more in research.
Musasizi also called on schools to promote healthy lifestyles among students, steering them away from laziness, drugs, substance abuse, and sexual activity. Science innovation remains central to Uganda's meeting its development goals and international targets set by the United Nations. Local leaders attended the event, including Rubanda district chairperson Stephen Ampeire Katsyaba.
School head Elly Turyasiima joined other officials in highlighting how education strengthens families, communities, and the entire nation. The push for science education aims to improve national innovation capabilities. These efforts directly connect to making Uganda more competitive regionally and internationally as the country works toward sustainable development.
