President Museveni wants free schooling for all children in government schools. He spoke Tuesday at an education event, asking teachers to focus more on science and tech studies. The president said Africa fell behind because it lacked good science knowledge, not because it needed more kings or singers. He believes artificial intelligence will help education but never replace human teachers.
Janet Museveni, the education minister, said schools must prepare students for changing job markets. She pushed for more technical training programs across the country, which teach skills that employers want right away. The government started working on better job training back in 2012. They created six special schools that teach trades like farming and oil work.
Today, almost every district has a technical school, but only 45 out of 178 areas still need government training centers. Officials want graduates who can compete for jobs anywhere in the world. They believe technical training connects classroom learning with real-world needs. The goal is to ensure that young Ugandans find good jobs after school.
